The 2022 Britain’s Got Talent judging panel includes Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon. The talent competition has seen several acts go on to great heights with their career, including dance group Diversity who have gone on to perform all around the world and English tenor Paul Potts who went to have his own film 'Once Chance' in 2013.

Britain’s Got Talent also raises money for the Royal Variety Charity, of which Queen Elizabeth II is life-patron). Winners of the show will also get the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of senior members of The Royal Family.
