- On Monday, October 12, ITV confirmed TV personality Bradley Walsh will serve as a guest judge for the 20th series of Britain's Got Talent, replacing Simon Cowell during his recovery from back surgery.
- Cowell stepped down temporarily to undergo back surgery following long-term nerve damage sustained in a 2020 electric bike accident, having previously missed parts of the 2020 season due to similar injuries.
- Auditions are underway at the Opera House in Blackpool, where Walsh joined regular judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and social media star KSI on the panel.
- Thousands of fans gathered outside the Winter Gardens to witness the production's arrival, while Walsh expressed enthusiasm, saying, "And Amanda, Alesha, and KSI are so lovely to work with."
- Applications for the 2027 series remain open until Friday, October 16, with the show expecting a February launch date consistent with previous years.
