The judges consist of Cowell, British media personality and actress Amanda Holden, 54, British singer and rapper Alesha Dixon, 46, British-Italian TV personality and choreographer Bruno Tonioli, 69, and for three audition days only, 31-year-old guest judge KSI, who is a music artist, YouTuber and boxer, who is filling in for Tonioli due to scheduling conflicts.
Every year, contestants of all ages audition for Britain’s Got Talent – which draws in figures of around six to 10 million viewers – where they can showcase whichever talent they wish to demonstrate.
When the live rounds begin, participants will not only need to impress the judges but also the general public to secure their votes and ultimately reach the final, where one lucky winner will receive a cash prize of £250,000 and a place in the Royal Variety Performance, where they will get to perform before members of the British Royal Family.
But going back to the audience, Cowell explains how much of a support system they also are for contestants who come onto the show.
