Last years series ended just as the UK was placed in the first national lockdown. It is unclear weather the show will have a live studio audience but it is most likely to have a studio audience with with the ticket provider recently advertising the shows return.

It is unclear when the new series will start with the UK being placed in the third national lockdown, but with BGT being postponed the show could potentially fill the gap.
