BGT judges show off skills in trailer

Britain's Got Talent's judges and presenters Ant and Dec are showing off a few talents of their own in a new trailer for the show which was screened for the first time this weekend.

And the clip will find David Walliams at the mercy of judging rival Simon Cowell, as he is strapped to a spinning wheel while the mogul jokingly cracks a whip.

It will also feature Amanda Holden showing off her acrobatic skills and a decidedly flexible Alesha Dixon pretending to be a contortionist.

Meanwhile Ant and Dec take to a unicycle while spinning plates in the trailer.

"We worked closely with the judges and Ant and Dec allowing them to put their unique stamp on what we had planned for them, making it a hugely enjoyable experience," explained ITV's head of promos Oscar Cariss.

David - who became renowned for his sparring with Simon in the 2012 series of the show, also joked about his predicament.

"Being tied to a huge wheel as Simon Cowell whipped me has always been a dream of mine," he told the Mirror. "Thanks to everyone at ITV for making that dream come true."

The preview was shown for the first time on Saturday night during Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

Britain's Got Talent will return next month - with April 14 as the reported start date although this has yet to be confirmed.
