ITV's most-cherished variety talent show Britain's Got Talent has confirmed it is returning to screens in a matter of days after nearly two years off air.
The network has officially confirmed that the show will return on Saturday, April 16.
A previously released teaser opens with presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly speaking directly into the camera as they say: "Good luck. It's all yours," before transitioning to a montage of past auditions.
As the clip, which you can view above, concludes its series of memorable moments, a voiceover announces: "Welcome to Britain's Got Talent 2022!"

The picture was taken on the first day of auditions at the London Palladium, where the four were seen sitting in a row behind their respective buzzers.
On January 17, an article published by The Mirror said Ant broke down in tears after he and co-host Dec kicked off production on stage in front of a live audience.
"Excuse me while I go and cry. We are so excited to be back. We were gutted to miss last year and not get to see you all," he's said to have told the crowd.
"But we're back, raring to go and have one hell of a show for you," he added.
