However, Ant and Dec will still interact with them throughout the show.
Dec explained to Digital Spy: “For the first time ever, we’ll be doing it without a studio audience.”
He continued: “But we do have a virtual audience, which we had a little bit before on Britain’s Got Talent. Such a lot of this show is about the audience.
“So we have researched ways, and are coming up with ways, to do a much more interactive virtual wall – more than any other show has done.”
Meanwhile Ant said on This Morning: “We can still throw live to audience. Unlike other virtual audiences we’ve asked to make it very interactive.”
What is Olly Alexander’s net worth?
Olly Alexander is already worth a pretty penny due to his success with his band Years & Years and as a rising star in the acting world.
According to CelebrityNetWorth he is estimated to be worth around $1.5 million (£1 million). However, it could easily higher given his recent success with Channel 4’s It’s A Sin.
