Judges:
For the first time since Britain's Got Talent began, there has been a permanent change to the judging panel. In October 2010, Piers Morgan announced he was leaving due to hosting his new show Piers Morgan Tonight in the United States and he was unable to do both. In December 2010, Simon Cowell confirmed that he would only be present at the live shows as he would be busy launching The X Factor in the US. Therefore, David Hasselhoff (previously a judge on America's Got Talent) and Michael Mcintyre were added to the panel. There were also guest judges planned for the auditions due to the success of the guest judges on The X Factor but no guest judges appeared during the auditions. Hasselhoff was unable to attend the London auditions, so Louis Walsh took his place
