The tenth series of Britain's Got Talent premiered on 9 April 2016.[1] Ant & Dec returned to present the main show on ITV, while Stephen Mulhern returned to present the spin-off show Britain's Got More Talent on ITV2. Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden returned for their tenth series on the judging panel, whilst Alesha Dixon and David Walliams returned for their fifth series. This is the first series that Lotto have sponsored the show.

The initial trailer for the show was released on 11 March 2016.[2] The Semi Finals will air from 22 May to 26 May with the Grand Final taking place 2 days later on the 28 May, because of the football on the 27 May.

Controversy

David Walliams' marriage

During the auditions Walliams claimed that Cowell had not married his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, to which Cowell responded saying: "Well, why aren't you married?" (referring to the recent divorce between him and his ex-wife, Lara Stone). This statement shocked the audience as well as Walliams. It seemed Walliams was hurt by Cowell's comment. One source said:

"David was a little caught out by the comment. While they were waiting for the next act to come out, he went to talk to Simon. He sat on the desk next to him and they had a few words with each other and seemed to sort it out."[29]

Sources suggest that during the auditions 'tensions were high' between the two men and the crew were betting on whether Walliams might exit this series.

Beau Dermott

12-year-old Beau Dermott, who performed a musical theatre piece, receiving Holden's golden buzzer, became the centre of controversy when it became apparent that she had four years of coaching. The Daily Star had the headline "BGT NEW 'CHEAT' STORM", accompanied by a picture of Dermott. The newspaper was heavily criticised for this, as nowhere in BGT's rules does it say that professional training is forbidden.[30]
