Judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Heart Breakfast’s very own Amanda Holden are all returning to their famous chairs in front of those big red buzzers.

Who won Britain’s Got Talent in 2019?
Chelsea pensioner Colin Thackery won the BGT final in 2019.
The big day took place on Sunday 2nd June, live at the Hammersmith Apollo, with Colin joined by favourites magician X and dog act Dave and Finn.
But 89-year-old Colin, won the hearts of the nation with his emotional rendition of Love Changes Everything.
After he was announced as the winner, he told hosts Ant and Dec: “I’m absolutely astonished.
“It’s incredible, I don’t know what to say. I’m stuck for words for a change. ‘Thank you very much, all of you, all the backing I’ve had. It’s been wonderful.”
As the winner of BGT, the singing star won £250,000 and performed at the Royal Variety Performance 2020.

He later revealed his winnings were going to the Royal Chelsea Hospital, where he lives.
Colin told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning: “First of all the hospital, because we are a charity you know, we’re always collection for something.
“And we’ve got a new visitor’s centre we want to build, an activity centre, I’d love to think I set the whole things off.”
