Ant and Dec get lost on Coronation Street and Britain's Got Talent judges make unlikely visit to Roy's Rolls

Britain's Got Talent was back with a bang on ITV on Saturday night (April 17) and while they were filming auditions in Salford, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly 'lost' the judges and ended up on Coronation Street.

In a comical sketch for the popular ITV talent show, Ant asked "so where are they judges then?" and Dec admitted he'd installed a tracker on head judge Simon's phone. As they walked along with famous landmarks on the Trafford Wharf Road set in the backdrop, including The Kabin and Nick Tilsley's bistro, they literally bumped into Weathefield icon Sally Metcalfe, played by Sally Dynevor.

They looked at home in Roy Cropper's cafe as Shona Platt brought over a plate of toast and pasta letters with just the letters 'BGT.' Simon approved: "Just how I like it."

Meanwhile, Ant and Dec continued their search as they were spotted outside the Rovers Return pub and ran into Kirk Sutherland. The pair asked if the judges were inside but looked stunned
