- Contestants and crew will be more visible to audiences.

Britain's Got Talent has launched its 19th series, with head judge Simon Cowell hinting at a more transparent viewing experience. Cowell stated that the intention is to reveal more about the show's production, allowing viewers to see behind-the-scenes operations and the contestant journey.
This new approach aims to give audiences a clearer view of how the show is made, including the setup of acts and the theatrical elements. Cowell described it as pulling back the curtain on the 'circus' that brings the show to life.
The series premiere also saw Stacey Solomon join the judging panel for an episode. Judges and hosts Ant & Dec praised Solomon, describing her as 'warm, funny and down to earth.' Alesha Dixon noted Solomon's empathy for contestants, stemming from her own audition experiences.
Amanda Holden, who temporarily stepped into the head judge role for one episode, expressed her dislike for the position, preferring her central spot on the panel. The show continues Saturdays at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
