BRITAIN’s Got Talent bosses fear they will be forced to axe the hit show this year. Producers have privately said it may not be possible to press ahead due to Covid-induced setbacks.
A senior TV source told The Sun: “Nothing can be ruled out just yet, but it's not looking good. It’s almost certain to be binned.” Judge Amanda Holden said earlier this month she was glad BGT was postponed amid the pandemic - because the show needed a live audience cheering on the acts.
Executives had planned to record the 15th series later this month before announcing it would be pushed back. Now there are real concerns it would be “unsafe” to shoe-horn filming in over the summer.
