With a new series of Britain's Got Talent only weeks away, here is when it is starting and everything else you need to know.

Will David Walliams return to ITV Britain's Got Talent?

David Walliams is stepping back from his role on the show as a celebrity judge and will be replaced by Italian choreographer and Strictly Come Dancing star, Bruno Tonioli.

Little Britain and Come Fly with Me's David Walliams got into hot water after he was heard making disrespectful comments about contestants.

It was claimed he called an older performer a "c***" and made sexually explicit comments to a female performer.

He has since apologized for these comments, saying: “I would like to apologise to the people I made disrespectful comments about during breaks in filming for Britain’s Got Talent in 2020.

“These were private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry.”
