Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has shared a huge spoiler for the upcoming new series.
The TV star, 53, spoke to Jason King on her Heart Breakfast show on Wednesday morning, where she gave insight into what viewers can expect.
She recorded auditions in Blackpool this week – which she now says included a pole-dancing seagull and a man dedicating an entire song to Bruno while sitting on a giant rooster.
She judged on the panel alongside Simon Cowell, 65, Alesha Dixon, 46, and Bruno Tonioli, 69.
Amanda said on the radio programme: ‘It’s BGT time. We’re doing auditions in Blackpool and I’m everywhere. I do Heart, I do Blackpool, I do everything!
“And yesterday I mean it’s a spoiler alert, I don’t know how much the producers care or if they’re even listening. But yesterday we have never had so many birds on stage.

The TV star, 53, spoke to Jason King on her Heart Breakfast show on Wednesday morning, where she gave insight into what viewers can expect
“Before you write anything, let me just say that we had a pole-dancing seagull, we had a guy playing rubber chickens, and we had a guy who dedicated an entire song to Bruno while sitting on a giant rooster.
“You can imagine where that story went… it was pretty late at night. I say rooster, you do the math.
She added: “It was one of those days where ‘you won’t get entertainment like this anywhere else on earth!’
The show returns this spring and airs every Saturday night.
Her co-star Jason then asked her, “Did you know if the seagull was local?” Is it a seagull from Blackpool?’
She replied, “Well, you know what? We tried to interview the seagull, but he didn’t say anything. He screamed a lot and then started chasing me with chips.’
“And believe me, I mean, this seagull was clearly pole dancing. It was a giant seagull. It destroyed the whole place!’
Jason then asked, “So based on what you just said, it’ll be a good one in that minute, right?”

She has been filming auditions in Blackpool this week – which she now says included a pole-dancing seagull and a man dedicating an entire song to Bruno while sitting on a giant rooster.
She said on her radio show: ‘And yesterday I mean it’s a spoiler warning, I don’t know how much the producers care or if they’re even listening. But yesterday we have never had so many birds on stage.”

Amanda responded excitedly, saying, “It’s a corker. I mean, it’s one of the few shows, you know, along with Strictly and shows like that, where you can sit down.
‘It’s a generational show. It’s an event. There’s something about getting a takeaway, a bottle of wine, sitting down with the kids on a Saturday and watching. And I can’t wait for you all to say it’s brilliant. It’s going to be brilliant.’
It comes after her fellow judge Simon suggested he is still suffering from a painful medical problem after first speaking about it last year.
The TV mogul told how he suffered from debilitating migraines last year when he worried fans after missing a few auditions during filming.
Simon wears red-tinted glasses to protect his eyes when shooting in the studio under bright lights for long periods of time.
And a new photo shared by Simon on Tuesday showed the judges reunited at the BGT auditions as filming for the new series got underway.
Simon quickly wore glasses with colored lenses, indicating that he still suffers from migraines a year later.
Standing next to him were fellow judges Amanda, Ashley and Bruno as they started a new series.
Simon revealed they were in Blackpool for the next round of auditions, declaring: ‘We’re back!’
In February last year, Simon explained to some ‘concerned’ fans on his Instagram that he needs them for health reasons.
He ended by saying: ‘Next week we’re filming BGT in Manchester – looking forward to seeing you then. P.S. That’s why I wear these glasses!’
Sharing a photo of himself wearing the glasses to the jury, he wrote: ‘According to the internet, I just discovered that I have a ‘mystery illness’.
“For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of a day two weeks ago because I get migraines after long days in the movie lights.”
In this series, the judges will once again be joined by presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, while YouTube star KSI will also make a guest appearance on the show.
The series was postponed in October following the death of Liam Payne, who shot to fame on Simon’s show the X Factor in 2010.
In a statement following Liam’s death in October, a spokesperson for the programme’s producer, Freemantle UK, said: ‘Due to the tragic passing of Liam Payne, we have decided to postpone the auditions for Britain’s Got Talent. Our thoughts are with Liam’s friends, family and all who loved him.”
Simon had decided to cancel the auditions in Blackpool at the last minute when he discovered the shocking news.
Following Liam’s death, a ‘devastated’ Simon paid a heartfelt tribute to the ‘kind, funny and talented’ One Direction star, who ‘never forgot the fans’.
Auditions resumed after Britain’s Got Talent made a huge change to the audition process.
Show bosses pulled the plug on hosting the auditions at the London Palladium and they will now all be held in Blackpool.
According to The sun, The bosses decided to change the location because they found the atmosphere in the seaside resort so enthusiastic for the show.

A source said: ‘BGT is a show that depends on the audience and how they react – and actually the audience in Blackpool is absolutely brilliant.
‘The Palladium is such an iconic venue, but if you compare the shows in Blackpool to the shows they filmed in London, the audiences there are much more into it.
‘Boss Simon Cowell has given the go-ahead for the move and just wants the show to be the best it can be.’
The insider added that Amanda may not be happy with the change as she works in London five days a week and will have to commute.
