After the conclusion of the eighth series on 7 June 2014, speculation began about who would return to the judging panel for series 9. On 8 June, it was reported that Simon Cowell may leave the panel.[1] David Walliams sparked rumours that he may not return.[2] However, Amanda Holden announced on 31 October that she, Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Walliams would all return as judges for series 9.[3][4] On 16 January, ITV confirmed that Cowell, Holden, Dixon and Walliams would be returning for series 9.[5]

Ant & Dec returned to present the main show on ITV for their ninth series, while Stephen Mulhern continued to host the spin-off show Britain's Got More Talent on ITV2.

Golden buzzer

The golden buzzer returned for its second series. The first golden buzzer used was by Ant & Dec at the Edinburgh auditions for dance troupe BoyBand. Cowell pressed the golden buzzer on the first day of the Manchester auditions for singer Callum Scott. Holden used her buzzer during the Birmingham auditions for choir Revelation Avenue. Dixon used hers during the first day of the London auditions for dance act, Entity Allstars, leaving just Walliams who confirmed, on Twitter, that he used his Golden Buzzer on the last day of auditions in London for a comedy singer, Lorraine Bowen.

The first golden buzzer aired in the first episode, when Cowell pressed it in Manchester for Calum Scott. The second golden buzzer was aired in the second episode, when Ant and Dec pressed it in Edinburgh for BoyBand. Holden's golden buzzer for Revelation Avenue aired during the third episode.
