ITV Britain's Got Talent says 'imagine seeing this' as judges make unique entrance
Viewers were left 'dead' after the Britain's Got Talent stars made a hilarious entrance to the second episode of auditions in a 'hideous' vehicle.
The talent show is back for its highly anticipated 18th series, with the first episode showcasing auditions from Blackpool, which aired last week. Head judge Simon Cowell is back, joined by TV star Amanda Holden, singer Alesha Dixon, and former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli.
The second episode, which showcases the auditions held in Blackpool, opened with a 'roar-some' performance from the band Hevisaurus. But before the acts started, viewers were entertained by the entrance of the judges.

Simon Cowell was seen driving a golden 'buzzer' VW van with a toilet printed on the side in a prank by hosts Ant and Dec. Britain's Got Talent said on x, formerly known as Twitter: "Imagine walking down Blackpool promenade and seeing this #BGT #BritainsGotTalent"

One viewer said on X: "The side of the van got me dead #BritainsGotTalent #BGT"
Another wrote: "Love the buzzer car and Simon driving makes him look like he's on the toilet until he realised the paint work on the drivers side #BGT"
A third wrote: "That VW people carrier looks hideous... Saying that every car these days looks hideous"
This series, fans are in for a special treat with an extra guest judge – influence and boxer KSI – stepping in for both Tonioli and Cowell.
The iconic duo, Ant and Dec (Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly), return to host the talent-packed show for yet another series.
A format change this year sees the live semi-finals airing weekly, instead of nightly across one week as in previous series'. This means the show will run longer than before, with the final airing in May.
Britain's Got Talent has run since 2007, showcasing entertaining talent and producing memorable winners like tenor Paul Potts and dance troupe Diversity. Last year's winner was singer Sydnie Christmas, after singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow in the final.
The series champion receives £250,000 in prize money and the coveted opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
Britain's Got Talent airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV1.
