Britain’s Got Talent hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly kick started the new series in style – by secretly hosting a massive party at Simon Cowell’s house.
A new clip has shared an inside look at the raucous bash, after Ant and Dec stole Simon’s keys and hosted the huge bash, leaving him furious.
In a new video shared to Youtube, Simon, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli revealed that they are looking for new ways to spice up the show.
Sat at a table full of excited children who they have employed as TV experts, the celebrity judges brainstormed ideas for the new season.
Amanda suggested changing their golden buzzer to a ‘holden buzzer’ as a play on her surname.

Simon asked if he could have his face printed on a large hot air balloon to launch the ITV show’s 17th series.
Sparking giggles and laughter among the school children, one little boy told Ant and Dec to host a party at Simon’s house.
Under strict orders from the little ones, the presenting duo got cracking and threw a massive party for talent-filled performers to enjoy a dance.
But in the comical teaser, one trumpet player knocks over a bust of Simon’s head, which sparked the music mogul l to check the security cameras.
When asked if he liked what the show did with his manor, Simon iconically said: ‘I don’t like it… I love it.’
The new show teaser comes just days after the show fired back after an audience member suggested a golden buzzer act was given a ‘secret advantage’.
Returning on Saturday, the viewers will get to see the auditions, which were filmed earlier this year.
However, one audience member—who attended the auditions both this year and last year—claimed some acts were given more rehearsal time than others.

They said certain acts rehearsed in front of the audience and then later went on to win the golden buzzer.
They claimed the same thing happened last year when dance act Ghetto Kids was given rehearsal time in front of the audience, with judge Bruno later giving them his golden buzzer.
In a post seen by The Sun, they wrote: ‘I have an observation I went to the bgt opening last year and the bgt opening today.
At first I didn’t think anything much of it last year but it now seems to be a pattern from last year.
‘Last years opening before the opening warm up act the audience saw Ghetto Kids (Brunos golden buzzer rehearsing their audition on stage). No other act.
‘Today when the audience got inside the venue the audience saw a act rehearsing and being filmed on stage. No other act today, the act got the golden buzzer.’
However, a TV source told the publication that the audience member misunderstood how the production works.
They said: ‘Any act that requires a rehearsal on the day will get one, but the audience only come in at the last minute, so only see the final act perform.
‘It just so happened that on those days, the final rehearsing act may have got the golden buzzer, but of course that’s not always the case.
‘Comedian Axel Blake got a golden buzzer and went on to win in 2022, for example, but he didn’t rehearse on stage as often it’s only the big productions like dance acts and magicians that need to.’
