BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT 2021 'POSTPONED UNTIL THE AUTUMN'
ITV confirm the latest round of auditions have been posted.
Filming for the auditions was due to begin at the end of January in front of a socially-distanced audience at London's Coliseum.
An insider told The Mirror: "Safety has to be our priority and it's simply not feasible or sensible to ask members of the public to travel in order to audition at this time. While we'd love to make the series and bring some much-needed cheer to the nation in the coming months, it's just not going to be possible...
"But it's not all bad news. If the vaccination process goes to plan and we are all closer to normal in the summer, we are very hopeful that we could make the series then. It would be brilliant to have Britain's Got Talent for the autumn schedule."
Update: ITV have released a statement confirming the reports.
An ITV spokesperson said: "The filming for the 15th series of Britain's Got Talent has been postponed from its proposed record dates in late January...
"With the announcement of the latest Government health guidelines and with our priority of safeguarding the well-being of everyone involved in our programmes we, together with the production teams at Thames and Syco, have taken the decision to move the record and broadcast of the forthcoming series...
"We will confirm revised dates in due course."
