Simon Cowell has shared a glimpse into the new series of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent days before the 2025 debut – and fans can’t contain their excitement.
The ITV show will be returning for its 18th series next weekend, Saturday February 22, with Simon, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and special guest judge KSI on the judging panel. The return of the series comes after auditions were delayed in October due to the tragic death of Liam Payne.
Simon took to Instagram to share the official trailer showcasing the best of what’s to come in the new series. During the action-packed trailer Simon can be heard saying: “This is the best act we’ve had in 18 years!” Although Simon is known for sharing his poignant takes, viewers will have to wait and see who he was referring to.

As well as bold commentary from Simon and the rest of the Britain Got Talent judges, the trailer also hints at the exciting moment when Simon presses the Golden Buzzer, sending one lucky performer directly to the live shows. The trailer claims the new series will be; weirder, crazier, scarier, wilder, louder, bigger and better than ever before.
At around 10.30pm Simon took to Instagram to share a sneak glimpse at what the new series will entail, the short clip has already had over 2,400 likes and over 140 comments. Simon captioned the video: “Hello! @bgt is about to return and I wanted to show you a sneak glimpse of what’s coming on the new series. If you’d like to see another teaser this week please let me know in the comments, and I’ll make sure you see it first! Love, Simon x”
Fans took to the comments to share their excitement, one said: “I CAN’T WAIT!! WE NEED ANOTHER TEASER.” While another said: “I am really looking forward to this starting I love this show.” A third wrote: “Looks awesome.” Another penned: “WOW! So exciting.”
Throughout the years, the star has built up the persona of “Mr Nasty” but things reportedly went to new heights during this season’s auditions. Simon Cowell was reportedly ‘brutally heckled’ during the Britain’s Got Talent auditions in Blackpool with the crowd yelling “You old fart” towards the star.
