BRITIAN’S Got Talent fans will be thrilled to know that the show’s BGT Unseen spin-off is back for another year – however another aftershow special has been axed.
This weekend, the iconic and much-loved talent show will make a comeback to our TV screens, but some changes have been made to another BGT-based programme.
It’s now been revealed that Britain’s Got Talent Unseen will be back for another year.
This spin-off show lets viewers get a sneak peak at more behind-the-scenes action, plus lets them get to see acts that didn’t make it to the main show.
BGT Unseen will start on the same day as the new series but air exclusively on ITVX.
However, BGT Reacts will not be returning this year, according to TV Zone UK.
The show – which has reportedly been axed – saw celebrity guests give their reaction to the main show.
NEW BGT LINE UP
Meanwhile, yesterday fans were given the first look at the new BGT judging line up.
YouTube sensation KSI has joined the panel for this year’s series, which will see original judges Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden reunite with Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
Ahead of the show’s launch on Saturday, ITV released a series of glam shots of the judges.
Head judge Simon can be seen leading the lineup, with him posing beside Amanda, Alesha, Bruno and KSI.
Also in the first look snaps, show hosts Ant and Dec can be seen beaming.

Meanwhile, Amanda rocked a bright red dress and some killer heels.
Bruno could then be seen rocking a blue velvet suit with a shirt underneath that didn’t have all of the buttons done up for added suaveness.
And new judge, KSI, looked ready for filming as he stood in a loose-fitting navy suit with some white trainers.
TENSE FILMING
This comes after it was revealed that Simon almost died while judging on the new show.
The 65-year-old music mogul will lay on the floor in the upcoming series while a BGT hopeful smashes watermelons with a mallet just inches from his head.
In a trailer for the new series, Amanda and Alesha looked very worried as they screamed while Simon lay on the floor.
A member of the health and safety team then rushed onto the stage to stop the act.
When Simon stood up, he exclaimed: “Are you f***ing crazy?”
He has since broken his silence on the incident, saying how he “nearly got killed 12 times”.
Simon recently told The Mirror: “It’s that feeling when you kind of think somebody doesn’t want you on the show any more. It was that. It was the closest, genuinely, where I’m thinking, ‘They actually want to kill me’.
“And I swear to God, that’s how I felt because this guy got really nervous and he’d slipped and was shaking as he was smashing these watermelons.”
He went on: “The health and safety guys, normally quite annoying, actually stopped him.
“Thank God, they saved my life. When you’re up there you’re immersed in it and then you go home and think, ‘That s*** is dark, I nearly got killed twelve times’.”
