It's coming this month!
Britain's Got Talent bosses have just announced the start date for this year's series and we won't have to wait long at all - with the start date just 11 days away! (At the time of writing.)
Taking to the official Britain's Got Talent socials, presenters Ant and Dec named all of the previous winners before asking: 'Who will be next?'.
BGT also captioned their video: 'Who will be next!? 🏆 #BGT returns Saturday 15th April at 8PM and Sunday 16th April at 7:45PM on @itv 1 and @wearestv1'.
With just less than two weeks before the show is due to start, fans couldn't believe their luck. One wrote: 'OMG I can’t wait 🙌', with another saying: 'Finally The Wait Is Over.🤩🔥🔥'.
Another fan wrote: 'Can't wait love it... 💕💕💕'.
This year will be the first series with new judge Bruno Tonioli taking over from David Walliams. The former Strictly Come Dancing judge will join the usual panel of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
Over the years there have been some very successful winners including the likes of dance troupe Diversity, comedian Lost Voice Guy and of course Susan Boyle. Last year's winner was Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer act, the comedian Axel Blake. He beat the likes of ventriloquist Jamie Leahy and singer Tom Ball in the final.
