Britain’s Got Talent 2021 ‘is SCRAPPED as COVID-19 lockdown scuppers plans for nationwide auditions… but bosses hope series will return in the autumn’

Britain’s Got Talent 2021 has reportedly been scrapped until the autumn as COVID-19 lockdown scuppered plans for nationwide auditions.

Sources claim that bosses are hopeful the show will return later this year, but have delayed plans to start auditions later this month due to government restrictions.

A source told The Mirror: ‘Safety has to be our priority and it’s simply not feasible or sensible to ask members of the public to travel in order to audition at this time.

‘While we’d love to make the series and bring some much-needed cheer to the nation in the coming months, it’s just not going to be possible.

‘But it’s not all bad news. If the vaccination process goes to plan and we are all closer to normal in the summer, we are very hopeful that we could make the series then. It would be brilliant to have Britain’s Got Talent for the autumn schedule.’
