Simon Cowell teases 'new' feature as Britain's Got Talent makes a return

Simon Cowell and his panel of Britain's Got Talent judges teased what was to come as the ITV show makes a return this weekend.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, chatting to entertainment editor Richard Arnold, Simon teased that there would be a 'new' feature on the talent show. Marking their 10th year of working together, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams are returning after a year off due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Discussing what they got up to during the down time, David joked that during the down time he just wrote a kid's book everyday. Meanwhile Amanda said that she took the bins out and mowed the lawn in ball gowns while subtly throwing in that she created a number one album.

Speaking of the show's return, Simon said: "I think it was a good thing that we had a year off. I genuinely do. For me, it's a better show this year. I think the acts are better, they're better prepared - they've used this time to rehearse more. I mean you'll see it, there really are some really really good people."

He added: "I'm always nervous, I've got to be honest with you, before we make the show in case they're all terrible but I do think we have some really really good people." The TV judge continued to tease, as he added: "And then we have something new, which we're going to call 'a golden moment'. I won't say too much about it but it's new and it's brilliant." Amanda added: "I think it's a really cute idea."

Britain's Got Talent returns on ITV and ITV Hub on Saturday April 16 at 8pm
