ITV's biggest talent show is back with its great variety of singers, dancers, gymnasts, comedians and performing dogs. From the sublime to the ridiculous, the audition rounds have it all. Ant and Dec present, claiming about Simon Cowell that "if anything, parenthood has made him grumpier". The media mogul presides over the judging panel, alongside Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.

With the introduction of the Golden Buzzer, which can put someone through to the live semi-finals regardless of the other judges' opinions, there's even more opportunity for the eccentrics. The chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance and win a £250,000 cash prize awaits the winner. Britain's Got More Talent follows on ITV2. See the judges interviewed by Digital Spy here.
