ITV have not announced an air date for the 14th season of the show, but previous seasons have aired from early April, with finales taking place in June.

This season marks host Anthony McPartlin’s second year back on Britain’s Got Talent after he took a hiatus in 2018 following a drink driving conviction.

Chelsea singer and war veteran Colin Thackery won the 13th season of the competition show, becoming the oldest-ever winner at the age of 89.

He has since released an album titled Love Changes Everything.
