Ant McPartlin makes big return to TV in first BGT trailer

Dec looks so happy!

Ant McPartlin will be back on our screens next month and Britain’s Got Talent has teased his return with a spectacular new trailer.

He features alongside all the show’s regulars, including co-host Declan Donnelly and judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.

Before Ant is introduced near the beginning of the promo, Dec can be seen standing alone at a podium and conducting a chaotic orchestra of BGT acts.

United, they continue to conduct the orchestra in perfect harmony.

Elsewhere, Amanda is seen sawing a person in half as part of a magic act, while David dazzles in a white top hat and suit as he maniacally crashes a pair of cymbals.

Alesha, meanwhile, lifts a cloche to reveal a red buzzer, which she then presses.

At the end of the trailer, boss Simon suddenly appears and presses a golden buzzer that releases a cloud of confetti.

He took a year away from the spotlight to focus on getting his life back on track.

Ant credited a big part of his recovery to his girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett.

In a conversation with The Sun, he said: “Anne-Marie honestly is the fundamental reason for the great change in my life.”
