It comes as the ITV programme will return for its 17th series in a double weekend extravaganza
Amanda Holden has addressed the real reason rules were broken during the upcoming series of Britain's Got Talent - and it was actually allowed. The ITV programme will return for its 17th series in a double weekend extravaganza on Saturday and Sunday .
In the upcoming series, the golden buzzer, which sends contestants straight to the semi-finals, will be used nine times, despite the fact there has previously been a limit to one judge each. A sheepish-looking Amanda replied: "We’ve said this week, the rule book has definitely gone out of the window. But Simon always said there are no rules on any of the shows he’s done, that’s probably why I’m still there! nine Golden Buzzers in total. I think Bruno set the precedent last year when he just kept on pressing it."
"He said ‘everyone gets another Golden Buzzer - we cannot go to Manchester with no Golden Buzzers’. So we had more and it was brilliant!"
