Cowell is primarily responsible for the show 's creation, and has served as a judge since it began in 2007. The show 's format was devised by X Factor creator and Sony Music executive, Simon Cowell, who was involved in the creation of other Got Talent programmes across several different countries. To showcase his idea, a pilot episode was filmed in September 2005, with the judging panel consisting of Cowel, then - This Morning presenter Fern Britton, and tabloid journalist Piers Morgan ; the pilot was not broadcast on television until it was shown as part of a documentary series entitled The Talent Show Story in January 2012. The original plan for the show was for it be aired within 2005 - 06, before the broadcast of America 's Got Talent, with Paul O'Grady presenting the programme under the title Paul O'Grady's Got Talent, after having hosted the pilot, with his selection as host due to the popularity he was attaining from his teatime chat show, The Paul O'Grady Show. However, complication arose when O'Grady was involved in a row with ITV and refused to appear on another show of the broadcaster, eventually defecting to Channel 4 to continue hosting his teatime show, effectively putting plans for the programme on hold. In a 2010 interview, O'Grady commented about the row by stating : `` I did the pilot for Britain 's Got Talent -- which was originally going to be called Paul O'Grady's Got Talent. But I told the producers they were having a joke if they thought I would front a show with that title. The original panel of judges was going to be Simon Cowell, Fern Britton and Piers Morgan. I was the host. Then when I had the row with ITV I was banned from the studios. I remember I rang Simon and told him he had a huge hit on his hands, but there was no way I could do it. I said, if I am banned I have to be banned from everything. I ca n't be a hypocrite and come in and do this. I had to bow out. '' On 12 February 2007, following the success of America 's Got Talent the previous year, ITV announced their intentions for a British series of Got Talent. Their announcement revealed changes to the original plan for the programme, with Ant & Dec revealed to be the hosts for the new programme. While Cowell remained as part of the judging panel, the new plan intended for David Hasselhoff and Cheryl Cole. However, both resigned before the programme was due to air, leading to Morgan being part of the panel as originally planned, and actress Amanda Holden joining him and Cowel as a judge ; Hasselhoff would later join the panel for the programme 's fifth series after being a part of the panel for America 's Got Talent, while Cowell later employed Cole to be a replacement for Sharon Osbourne on The X Factor. At the same time, the broadcaster also announced that the show would be accompanied by a sister show on ITV2, entitled Britain 's Got More Talent, with Stephen Mulhern as its presenter. Format See also : List of Britain 's Got Talent episodes and List of Britain 's Got Talent finalists Auditions The show holds two auditions for contestants. The first is an open audition held across several different cities across the UK during the Autumn months while the second, referred to as the `` Judge 's Auditions '', is held the following year during January and February, prior to the broadcast of the show during Spring - early Summer, and consists of the contestants who made it through the open auditions, held within a select set of cities - these have commonly included Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London. For the Judge 's Auditions, each site used for these is located within a theater or convention hall. These sites are primarily chosen for the purpose of having facilities that can handle large volumes of contestants, with each set up into three arrangements when auditions are taking place - a waiting area for contestants to prepare and await their turn to perform, with monitors to allow them to see the performances of other contestants ; the wings, where a contestant enters and leaves from, and where friends and family of the contestant can view them from ; and the main stage, where the contestant performs their act before the judging panel, who are situated in front of the stage. The main stage area is usually modified to include the judge 's panel desk, and a special lighting rig above the stage, consisting of Xs that each have a name of the judge under them. Each contestant ( s ) that auditions, is given a number by the production team, and remain in the waiting area until called out into the wings, giving them a certain amount of time to prepare their act. Upon being allowed onto the main stage, they will usually be asked by one of the judges for their name and what they plan to perform, along with other details such as age, occupation, personal background, and what they wish to achieve if they won. After this, they are then given three minutes to conduct their performance before both the judges and a live audience, with some acts being supported by a backing track provided by the production team. If at any time, the judges find the performance to be unconvincing, boring or completely wrong, they may use a buzzer before them, which changes the Xs from white to red ; if all the judges press their buzzers, then the performance is immediately over. Once a performance is over, each judge will give an overview of what they thought about the act, before casting a vote - if `` Yes '', the judge approved of the act ; if `` No '', they disliked the act. If the contestant ( s ) receives a majority vote of `` Yes '', they then proceed onto the next stage in the contest, otherwise they are eliminated from that series ' contest. In Series 8, a new feature was added to the auditions, which had been previously used on Germany 's Got Talent, called the `` Golden Buzzer ''. Situated in the centre of the judge 's desk, the Golden Buzzer allows a judge to effectively send a contestant ( s ) into the live semi-finals, regardless of the opinions of the other judges, if they felt that a contestant 's performance was outstanding ; when pressed, the judge 's X turns gold and the stage is showered in gold glitter strips. However, as a general rule, they may only press it once and can not press it again in later auditions. While the hosts of Britain 's Got Talent may also press the golden buzzer for a contestant ( s ), they may only press it once themselves in the same manner. Filming for the show begins during the Judge 's Auditions, with footage that is recorded in these being edited into a series of episodes that are aired on a weekly schedule before the live semi-finals, and featuring the best highlights of the auditions, including those from the best performances the judges saw, to the worst that appeared, whether funny, poorly conceived or generally bad, and in some cases totally inappropriate. These episodes also include interviews with the contestants in a separate area, as well as additional interviews conducted within the wings before and after a performance, that are conducted by the hosts, who also give personal comments about a performance while watching from the wings. Judges ' decisions This stage takes place after the auditions have been completed, and is also referred to as Deliberation Day, in which the judges look through the acts that have successfully made it to this stage, and begin whittling them down to those who would stand a fair chance in the live semi-finals. The amount that goes through has varied over the show 's history, though usually consists of a number that can be divided equally over the semi-finals being held in a series. Once the judges have decided on who will go through, all contestants that have reached this stage are called back to discover if they had progress into the live semi-finals or not. After this has been done, the acts are divided up between the semi-finals that the series will have ; usually eight in each series, except for the sixth to tenth series which had nine acts per semi-final. For the fifth series, some acts were asked to perform again, as the judges had had difficulty coming to a final decision on the semi-finalist, and thus needed to see their performance again in order to make up their minds ; it is only time in the show 's history that this has happened, and has not been repeated since. Semi-finals & final Contestants that make it into the semi-finals after both stages ( or, from series 8, received the Golden Buzzer ), perform once more before an audience and the judges, with their performance broadcast on live television ; until the tenth series, live episodes were broadcast The Fountain Studios in Wembley, the same site used for The X Factor, but following the closure of the studios, the show relocated its live episodes to Elstree Studios. Like the Audition stage of the contest, they must attempt to impress by primarily conducting a new routine of their act within the same span of time ; the judges can still use a buzzer in the semi-finals if they are displeased with a performance, and can end it early if all the buzzers are used, and can still give a personal opinion about an act when the performance is over, but neither of these impact how the semi-finalists fare at this stage of the contest, only the last part of this stage. As only two semi-finalists from each semi-final may proceed on to the Final, which two is determined by two different types of votes given towards the end - a public phone vote, and a judges ' vote. The phone vote determines the first semi-finalist that wins this stages, and occurs after all the acts in a semi-final have performed, whereupon a special phone line is opened for a short time, which the public can use to vote on the act that they thought was the best ; the phone number used, shown after their performance, is the same for all semi-finalists, with the exception of the final two digits, which differs between each semi-finalist in terms of the order of their appearance. Once the lines have closed and the votes have been counted, the act with the highest number of public votes is automatically placed in the final. The judges ' vote, held after the result of the phone vote, determine the second act that wins this stage, and is conducted between the second and third most popular acts the public voted on ; the other semi-finalist at this point, are eliminated from the contest. The act which receives a majority vote from the judges, moves on to the final ; in the event of a tied vote, upon the show increasing the number of judges to 4 from fifth series onwards, the second most popular act moves on to the final. From the sixth series onwards, the show incorporated a new feature in which any eliminated act from the semi-finals could still have a chance of being sent through to the finals, by being picked by the judges to as their `` Wildcard '' act, later expanding this by allowing the public to vote on a second act to go through into the finals, out of the top three eliminated acts. For the final of each series, the format of the contest operated in exactly the same manner as the semi-finals, including being broadcast live on television, though this time the winner is determined purely by a phone vote, with the finalists attempting to secure more votes than the others by performing a new routine at their best. Upon the result being given, the top two acts are brought onto the stage, with the hosts announcing which of them received the most votes. The winner of each year 's contest receives a cash prize, and earns the opportunity to perform in the Royal Variety Performance later that year. For the show 's scheduling, the live episodes are usually arranged to take place over the course of a week, with the semi-finals aired mainly on weekdays, and the final aired on the weekend ; in some series, the schedule featured a break between the live episodes of the semi-finals, due to coverage of live events. All live episodes ( only the finals in the first few series ) are divided into two parts when they are aired - the first half focuses on performances, each introduced by a short clip of the semi-finalist / finalist, and ended with comments by the judges ; the second half occurs after voting is closed, usually after another programme has aired between the two part, and focuses on the results of the phone vote, with a guest performance taking place prior to the announcement of the results. This format was initially used for the live finals only, until the start of the fourth series. Judges Holden is the longest serving judge on the show, only being absent in a few episodes in 2012 due to ill health. Hasselhoff previously worked as a judge on America 's Got Talent, before joining the show for the 2011 series. For the first four series after the show began in June 2007, the judging panel consisted of music executive and television producer Simon Cowell, television and West End star Amanda Holden, and newspaper editor and journalist Piers Morgan. When the third series was starting in 2009, it was announced that Kelly Brook would be joining as a fourth judge in the panel, but this later dropped less than a week later by the producers, who believed at the time that the format would be `` too complicated '' with four judges, thus leaving the panel consisting of just three judges ; Brook was later credited as a guest judge. In 2010, Cowell fell ill during filming of the fourth series and was unable to attend the Birmingham auditions, leading to fellow The X Factor judge Louis Walsh stepping in as guest judge in his place, until he had recovered. In 2011, Morgan revealed he was leaving the show to travel to America and begin filming of his new show, with Cowell announcing that, although he would attend the live episodes of the fifth series, he would n't be present for the auditions, due to his busy schedule with launching The X Factor USA. The show 's producers decided therefore to have Holden act as the head judge in the auditions until Cowell returned, while also having comedian Michael McIntyre, and actor, singer and former America 's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff, join the fifth series and oversee the auditions, although Walsh had to be brought in again as a guest judge for the London auditions, due to Hasselhoff 's commitments with a pantomime ; both judges remained on the panel for the live shows, with Cowell becoming a fourth judge upon his return. After their appearance, it was announced later that year in October, that neither Hasselhoff nor McIntyre would be returning as a judge for the sixth series, after Cowell returned full - time. On 2 January 2012, the producers revealed its decision to adopt the use of a fourth judge for the programe, after it announced that both Cowell and Holden would now be joined by David Walliams and Alesha Dixon in the sixth series, with the latter moving to the talent show after deciding to leave BBC 's Strictly Come Dancing. During filming in February, Holden was unable to attend the London auditions, due to having given birth to her daughter and suffering some after effects from her pregnancy, leading to actress and model Carmen Electra stepping in as a guest judge until she recovered. In subsequent series, the line - up remained as Cowell, Holden, Walliams and Dixon, with no further incidents except for the eighth series in 2014 - Cowell missed the first day of the Manchester auditions, leading to Ant & Dec filling in for him, and was also absent for the final day of the London auditions - and the tenth series in 2016 - Cowell was late for an audition, and was temporarily replaced by Walliam 's mother Kathleen, who was attending it.

Future series At present, Britain 's Got Talent has been renewed for two more series until at least 2019. Britain 's Got more Talent Stephen Mulhern has been the host of the sister show to Britain 's Got Talent, since 2007. Britain 's Got More Talent is a companion sister show that is broadcast on ITV2, and is aired after each episode of Britain 's Got Talent since the main show began in June 2007. Hosted by Stephen Mulhern ( with occasional appearances by Ant & Dec ), the programme operates in a similar manner to The Xtra Factor ( the companion show of The X Factor ), in that it features interviews with contestants and behind - the - scenes footage, though what is shown depends on what the main show is focused on during its broadcast. When the auditions stage is being broadcast, its sister show focus on highlights of acts that could n't be shown on the main show, with Mulhern operating in a similar manner to Ant & Dec by viewing the performances in the wings and giving comments, as well as interviewing contestants before and after their performance. When the main show begins broadcasting live episodes, its sister show conducts live `` after - show '' episodes, featuring interviews with the semi-finalists / finalists, as well as chatting with the judges. In addition to this format, each year also sees Britain 's Got More Talent broadcasting a special set of compilation episodes featuring the best and worst auditions from that year 's contest, entitled Britain 's Got Talent : Best and Worst, which are presented by Mulhern who introduces each clip shown.

Extra audition dates were added in series 2, and the judges visited Scotland. The show was criticised by psychologist Glenn Wilson, who referred to it as a `` freak show ''. He stated that `` ( contestants ' ) deficiencies and shortcomings are as important as their talent. We enjoy the stress we are putting these people under -- will they or will they not survive ? '' The treatment of contestants at the audition stage was heavily criticised by the Daily Mail, which described applicants being kept waiting for over 10 hours with no food or drink provided, with no certainty of being allowed to perform more than a few seconds of their act. It also detailed how staff intentionally built up the hopes of low - quality performers in order to maximise the dramatic effect of the judges ' put - downs, and the fine points of the contracts performers must sign, which gives the show infinite freedom to `` modify '' the footage for their own purposes, and to use the footage indefinitely for whatever purpose they choose. In two separate interviews in 2012, MC Kinky said `` Shows like X Factor and Britain 's Got Talent reduce the art of making music and practising your craft to the level of a low rent game show with huge financial backing and support. It 's a means to make money, not a means to produce ground breaking or interesting artists that demonstrate what they are feeling or are compelled to do. It 's corporate '' and `` it 's a churn ' em out fast food form of putrid shit that I have no affiliation with ''. In 2013, Bruce Forsyth questioned the show 's allowing children to audition. He said, `` I do n't think that 's entertainment. I do n't think they should put children on that are too young. If you 're going to do that, have a separate show. Have a children 's show, British Children Have Talent. '' In 2013 it was revealed that up to 50 % of acts on the televised shows had been headhunted by producers. In 2012, electropop band Superpowerless were approached to appear in the semi-finals. They attended the audition after assurances that the act would be portrayed in a positive light. On the day they felt that all interviews, especially those with Stephen Mulhern, were conducted in a manner intending to portray them in a negative light, reducing their act to a novelty / comedy routine intended for ridicule and humiliation. While many newspapers wrote articles on this topic, very few were published as the news outlets were told that running the story would cut that publication out of any advance coverage of the show in the future. Live tour On 17 April 2008, a thirteen date live tour was announced visiting the UK 's major cities during the month of June, featuring the semi-finalists, the finalists and the winner from series two, along with a few surprises. Stephen Mulhern hosted the tour, which began on 6 June. None of the judging panel were present, and there was no live voting. After high demand for tickets, the tour was later extended to twenty two performances, including matinées. The tour featured all ten finalists, as well as semi-finalists Tracey Lee Collins and Anya Sparks. The tour also featured a duet with Faryl Smith and Andrew Johnston. On 13 January 2009, a four date tour was announced with dates in Newcastle, Cardiff, Liverpool and Manchester. More dates were later added and the tour ran for eighteen shows from 12 -- 26 June 2009 and also travelled to Dublin, Birmingham, Belfast, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Nottingham, London, Aberdeen and Bournemouth. The tour in 2009 included : Diversity, Flawless, Aidan Davis, Shaun Smith, Stavros Flatley, Hollie Steel, 2 Grand, Julian Smith, Shaheen Jafargholi, Susan Boyle, Darth Jackson, DJ Talent and the 2008 winner, George Sampson. Stephen Mulhern hosted the tour. The tour returned in 2010, this time hosted by comedian Paddy McGuinness. The show also added a new city to the schedule, Brighton. The tour included all the finalists : Spelbound, Twist & Pulse, Kieran Gaffney, Tobias Mead, Tina & Chandi, Paul Burling, Christopher Stone, Janey Cutler, Liam McNally and Connected. The tour lasted from 19 June to 11 July. With 16 cities and 23 shows, it was the longest Britain 's Got Talent Tour to date. The tour in 2011 included all the finalists : Jai McDowall, Ronan Parke, New Bounce, Razy Gogonea, Michael Collings, Paul Gbegbaje, Steven Hall, James Hobley, Les Gibson and Jean Martyn. In 2012, due to very low ticket sales the tour was axed. Best - selling albums These albums were sold after Britain 's Got Talent. The sales numbers are UK sales only.
