The Britain’s Got Talent auditions returned to the Winter Gardens this week as the team searched for extraordinary performers to showcase their talents.
Undeterred by the weather, huge queues formed near St John’s Church in the hope of impressing the judges.
The judging lineup will remain the same with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli all returning for another year.
However, it has been revealed that Bruno has to take a bit of time off which means there is a guest judge in the shape of Boxer and musician KSI.
Take a look at some of the fabulous pics.
