Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon all returned to the judging panel with guest judge KSI also making an appearance.
The auditions are often held across the country in a few locations but where were they filmed this year? Here’s what we know.
Where were the Britain’s Got Talent auditions filmed for the 2025 series?
Britain’s Got Talent held many of its auditions in Blackpool at its Winter Gardens as well as London and Manchester this year.
Amanda Holden was impressed with how “warm” and “brilliantly up for it” the people in Blackpool were.
Speaking about the auditions in the Lancashire town, Holden said: “They were super warm and brilliantly up for it, and very loud, and we felt like, really the show felt sort of appreciated, I think, and wanted up there.
“And I think that’s our core audience. That’s the heartland of a talent show and of ITV, and you just go, ‘God, this is just brilliant.’ And I honestly think we won’t go back to London after that.
“I think we’ll be in Blackpool the whole time. I feel bad for Blackpool because it’s faded glory, isn’t it? Up there.
“But in its day, when I was married to Les (Dennis), he’d be doing shows at the end of the pier or whatever… or the people that I’ve met, I have been around for a long time in this industry, all honed their acts in the working men’s clubs in the north with really hard audiences to please.
“And if you can make it there you can literally make it anywhere.

“Forget New York, if you can do it in the north you’ve cracked it because when they like you, they really like you, and it felt like an honour to be in a town where they’ve broken so many amazing, wonderful acts over the years.”
“I’m just going to predict it. That’s it for London,” she added.
“Blackpool, I think, is the future for our auditions, and we all loved it.”
TV duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly (Ant and Dec) also returned to host the show.
Britain’s Got Talent will continue on Saturdays on ITV1 and ITVX.
