Template:Infobox reality music competition The 2009 series of Britain's Got Talent is the third and current series of the show. It began airing on ITV on 11 April, and is due to end on 30 May.
Judges and presenters
Initially, it was announced that the judges for the 2009 series would consist of original judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan with the addition of new judge Kelly Brook. [1] However, it was later announced that Brook was to leave the panel after just six days working on the show. [2] It was reported that Cowell felt "very bad"[3] following Brook's exit and that he had offered her a job in another role on the show.[4] It was also reported that Brook would receive her full £100,000 fee for appearing on the show.[5][6] According to Cowell, the reason given for sacking Brook was because the producers decided the format was "too complicated" with four judges. She has since been referred to as a "guest judge" at only Manchester. [7][8][9]
Ant & Dec return as hosts of the main show on ITV.[10] Stephen Mulhern also returned as host of the sister-show Britain's Got More Talent.
Broadcasts
Britain's Got Talent 2009 began on 11 April. Overall, there will be seven audition shows on consecutive Saturdays before a week of nightly shows so fans can pick the finalists who will battle it out on 30 May 2009.
Auditions
The application process took place throughout January and February 2009. First the judges visited Manchester for three days where they saw a total of 120 auditioners. They then visited Glasgow for a day, viewing a total of 40 auditioners. They then headed back down south to England, and to Birmingham for three days, watching a further 120 auditioners.
The next stop was London, where the judges saw a total of 128 acts over three days from Wednesday 28 January to Friday 30 January. Finally, the judges went to Cardiff for a day on Monday 3 February, where they saw 40 auditioners attempt to win their vote. Auditions were also to be held in Newcastle, but were cancelled just days beforehand.

On 23 May, the 40 semi-finalists selected from the almost 200 successful auditions in the "First Round Call-Backs" were revealed.[11]
