A mysterious witch, a group of acrobatic gymnasts and a children’s choir all took to the stage on Britain’s Got Talent this weekend.
The new series of BGT continued Saturday on ITV and ITV Hub with its third episode.
Ant and Dec are back in the wings for the 2022 series while on the panel this year are David Walliams, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.
