Ant and Dec share their true feelings on huge Britain's Got Talent format change

The ITV talent show is currently airing its longest-ever series, filling in the gap left behind by Saturday Night Takeaway.

According to The Sun , the ITV star added: “As they’re now going out weekly, it will have a really positive impact for the acts because they’ll be able to work on their performances.

” Ahead of tonight's show, the pair were also asked who their favourite picks were to win the £250,000 cash prize and a slot on the Royal Variety Show. Dec said: “We had this conversation in Blackpool [during the auditions] and both of us agreed that it’s so hard to call this year. “I think it will be somebody that will raise their game between their first audition and the final.

“We can feel it in the auditions, but it’s not until it goes out on TV that you really get a sense of who could win." His BGT counterpart and long-time friend, Ant chimed in with: “So it’s up to the public." (function (d, s, n) { var js, fjs = d.

“It’s a testament to the show and to the British public who took time to vote for the acts, recognised their talent and propelled them to stardom. “I also don’t necessarily think we hear about all the success stories.".
