Britain's Got Talent promises to come back with a bang when it returns to TV screens tonight on Virgin Media One and UTV.
Acts from around the world hoping to impress the judges with their unique talent will feature in the explosive launch episode of the talent show’s 17th season.
Among them will be Rask AI, a singing group with an unusual twist as they use artificial technology during their rendition of The Greatest Show from the hit 2017 film The Greatest Showman.
Viewers will also get a dose of cheer from Lady Grenades, a cheerleading team made up of athletes from around the UK aged from 13 to 19.
They will seek to flip through the audition round with their routine to 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) by US superstar Lizzo.
The opening episode will also feature a number of singers who will bring an extra bit of flair to their performance.
Among them will be music teacher Mike Woodhams, 37, who will impersonate a host of famous vocalists when he takes to the stage.
Meanwhile, 34-year-old Kimberley Winter, who travelled from the US to audition for Britain’s Got Talent, adds an unusual spin to her rendition of an Abba classic.
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli are set to return to the judging panel for the new run, while the perennial pairing of Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly return for hosting duties.
The judges previously revealed that nine golden buzzers will be awarded this series, breaking their usual one per person limit.
The competition kicks off with a double bill weekend on Saturday and Sunday when the first set of brave contestants will take to the stage in the hope of securing a £250,000 cash prize and a spot on the bill of the Royal Variety Performance.
