BGT: how to audition for Britain’s Got Talent in 2024?

Are you looking to follow in the footsteps of Viggo Venn and compete for the Britain’s Got Talent crown?

The Norwegian comedian wowed audiences with his performance in the final on Sunday, 4 June. He won the vote and became the latest BGT champion.

Viggo Venn will take home the £250,000 prize and will also get a spot to perform at the Royal Variety Performance later this year. The ITV series will return once again next year to begin the search all over again.

If you have a talent - hidden or otherwise - and are wondering how you can take part in the show. Here’s all you need to know:
