BGT hopeful takes aim at Simon Cowell during audition leaving judges in hysterics

A Britain's Got Talent hopeful takes aim at Simon Cowell during their audition, in scenes set to air on ITV on Saturday night.

Titan the Robot takes to the stage, as he sings and performs a comedy routine for Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.

In a preview clip released by ITV, one of the first acts of the series leaves the audience amused - while Amanda seems to initially back away from her desk in fear.

Both Amanda and Alesha are stood away from their desks, while it's not known if this is in fact part of the act or if they were dancing along to songs he was playing.

As Titan turns his attentions to Simon, the robot impersonates broadcasting legend David Attenborough as he describes the judge.

He says in the clip: "Here we have the lesser spotted, majestic Simon Cowell. This creature lives an honest and basic existence, and can often be seen jet skiing off the coast of Barbados.

"With one simple thought running through its mind..."

The robot then played the song I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred, leaving the audience howling with laughter.

Simon smirked, taking the joke well, as Amanda nodded to her co-star and laughed, while clapping along to the tune.

Alesha was doing the same, as David continued to laugh next to them - while Titan soon moved on to another judge to mock, and it seemed to stop at David.

It comes as a former champion of he show, 2020 winner Jon Courtenay, revealed he was returning to the series, two years on from his big win.

While remaining coy over the details, he explained he'd be making a one-off return to celebrate the series' launch.

He told Lorraine host Christine Lampard: "Yeah it was great! They phoned me up and said we'd like to feature you, so I'm opening one of the episodes.

"I wrote a song because that's what I do now, I write bespoke songs. So yeah I'm opening one of the episodes. And then there's something else which I don't think we're allowed to talk about.

"Nobody's told me... so yes, I'm going to be featured which is absolutely lovely, and it's great to go back."

Britain's Got Talent 2022 launches at 8pm on Saturday on ITV.
