BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT RETURNS TO BLACKPOOL FOR 2027 SERIES, FILMING DATES REVEALED

Britain's Got Talent is returning for its landmark 20th series next year, with the nation's most beloved talent show making a return to ITV Saturday nights, once again taking centre stage across the Spring season in 2027.

Ant & Dec will lead the nation through a new round of unforgettable auditions as performers showcase their talents in the hope of reaching the live semi-finals, and winning over the four judges - who are yet to be confirmed for next year. The existing line-up is Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI.

The last series saw The Hawkstone Farmers Choir crowned champions, taking home a life-changing £250,000 between them and a place on the coveted Royal Variety Performance line-up... but who will capture the crown in Series 20? As always, it’s up to the public to decide!

Meanwhile, Ant & Dec are bringing he global smash hit extreme crazy golf show Holey Moley to the UK with a four-part series on ITV in early 2027. Holey Moley transforms crazy golf into an adrenaline-fuelled primetime event. This is crazy golf - supersized. Contestants will tackle an epic, zany, visually jaw-dropping course packed with inventive obstacles, physical challenges and laugh-out-loud jeopardy. 

Bringing together the UK’s most passionate crazy golfers - from top class professionals to keen amateurs - who are fearless everyday thrill-seekers, the series delivers skill, scale and Ant & Dec’s trademark comedy mischief in equal measure. Expect big swings, bigger laughs and unmissable family entertainment. 

Across each episode, eight players will go head-to-head to win the coveted Holey Moley golden putter, green plaid jacket and a fantastic prize. To get there, the contestants must step into the Holey Moley alternative universe and combine precision putting with stamina and nerve as they battle through ambitious, larger-than-life holes.

From spinning windmills and exploding obstacles to slippery slopes and surprise hazards, competitors must combine skill, agility and determination to stay in the game. Hosts Ant & Dec will be at the helm and be joined throughout the series by a host of famous faces to add to the fun.
