ITV viewers fume as Britain's Got Talent is pulled from schedule Newspoint  |  16/03/2025 07:39:13

Britain's Got Talent fans were left fuming after ITV dropped the beloved talent show from its Saturday night lineup on 15 March. The network opted to broadcast the final Six Nations Championship match between France and Scotland instead, which kicked off at 8pm, clashing with BGT's regular timeslot.

Disgruntled fans didn't hold back on social media, voicing their displeasure over what they deemed an "unnecessary" schedule shake-up that spoiled their weekend viewing plans.

One irate viewer vented on X: "Joke taking #BGT and #The1PercentClub off for rugby, there's 3 other channels they could put it on and they have to take everything off for. Saturday night best night for TV and it's ruined."

Another took a swipe at ITV, tweeting: "@ITV taking the p**s bumping @BGT #BGT for the football (sic). Completely unnecessary, plenty of other channels to put this on."

A third lamented the absence of BGT, posting: "Suddenly thought I was missing #BGT, then remembered it's not on this week #SixNations," while another expressed disappointment with a tweet reading: "Nah just realised there's no Britains got talent tonight #BGT."

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Britain's Got Talent is set to return to its rightful place in the TV schedule on Saturday, 22 March, ensuring viewers can once again enjoy their favourite talent acts on ITV, reports the .

The latest series of Britain's Got Talent, which began in February, sees the return of judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli. Ant and Dec are also back as hosts of the ITV show.

The new series has already showcased a wealth of talent, with six Golden Buzzers having been used so far. The auditions in Blackpool featured YouTuber KSI as a guest judge, earning high praise from TV viewers.

This year's series will continue until the end of May, with episodes airing every Saturday night. In contrast to previous years, when the BGT semi-finals aired consecutively during the week, this format extends the show's run.

Britain's Got Talent usually airs on Saturday on ITV1 at 8pm
