And to mark the start of auditions, Britain's Got Talent has released a brief teaser, introducing a few of the acts expected to be seen back on stage – including 2018 winner Lost Voice Guy.

Britain's Got Talent: The Champions is due to air this autumn, going up against BBC1 giant Strictly Come Dancing.
