A new series of Britain's Got Talent burst onto our screens on Saturday night (April 20). Fronted by Ant and Dec - who last week said goodbye to Saturday Night Takeaway - it saw the return of judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli.
The four entertainment bigwigs were ready to search the country for an act worthy of royalty, with the winner of the show winning a spot at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance. Saturday's show was the first in a weekend double-bill.
Kicking off the show was a singing group named Rask AI, who had all four judges in stitches with their performance. The group used artificial technology to superimpose the judge’s heads onto characters from the hit 2017 film The Greatest Showman.

The 'judges' sang along to the hit song The Greatest Show, with Cowell’s face used for ringleader PT Barnum, Holden for the bearded lady, Dixon for the acrobat and Tonioli as the strong man. After the performance, one of the group's members explained: "We are here mainly because of the misconception that robots will steal your job and stuff like that." Amanda interjected: "Well it just did!"
The act got four yeses as Dixon described it as “absolute madness” while Cowell said it was “genius”. But it seems viewers were in disagreement, with many taking to X, formerly Twitter, to blast the odd opening performance.
