Channel bosses are 'cancelling' the hit show to avoid a ratings clash with the Eurovision Song Contest
Britain's Got Talent has been unexpectedly yanked from the telly schedules in a surprising ITV shake-up.
Instead, ITV1 will be airing the James Bond flick Casino Royale. In a scheduling twist, BGT will now be broadcast at 7.40pm on Sunday, May 12 on ITV1.ITV hasn't spilled the beans on why it's tweaked the usual air time for BGT, but it's worth noting that the Eurovision Song Contest is being shown on BBC One from 8pm on that Saturday. Britain's Got Talent will still go ahead as planned tonight at 7.30pm before being bumped to Sunday the following week.
