BRITAIN'S Got Talent is set for a huge schedule shake-up - as it's taken off air only weeks into the new series.
Last month, the long-running ITV show returned to screens for its 18th series.
However, viewers hoping to tune in on March 15 will be left out of luck.
Due to Six Nations: France v Scotland airing instead, there will be no BGT on that day.
This marks the latest change in a series already experiencing shake-ups to the format.
For example, YouTube star and professional boxer KSI has appeared as a guest judge.
The 31-year-old influencer replaced Bruno Tonioli on some days of the Blackpool auditions.
He previously said: “I’m so excited to be a guest judge for BGT. When I got the call up, I couldn’t believe it.
“I remember watching old BGT episodes and going from being amazed to laughing my a**e off.
“I’m buzzing to see all the fresh new talent, and I’ll be sure to leave a mark.”
A TV insider shared: "KSI is the perfect match for BGT. He’s an entertainer through and through, with a colossal fan base. BGT isn’t just a TV show—it’s a global internet phenomenon, with 25 billion video views worldwide.
"Having someone like KSI on board, whose music alone has been streamed 2.7 billion times, makes perfect sense."

Other fan favourite judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon also returned to the panel.
Meanwhile, this year's series launching in February instead of April also marks a huge change.
Weekly episodes will air across four months, making it the longest BGT series to date.
In addition, it was reported that the live semi-finals which are traditionally broadcast across one intense week in May will now be shown on Saturdays.
Britain's Got Talent Judges
The ITV talent show wouldn't be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces.
Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain's Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge. The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world.
Amanda Holden has been a judge on Britain's Got Talent since it first started in 2007. The sexy star is a firm fixture on the judging panel, which has helped her to become a household name.
Alesha Dixon is back to judge the new series of Britain's Got Talent. The TV star joined the panel back in 2012 and quickly became a fan favourite.
Bruno Tonioli makes up the fab four. After leaving Strictly, he decided to move over to ITV and is the newest BGT judge after replacing David Walliams.
Lily Wilson, the Commissioning Editor for Entertainment at ITV, previously explained the decision behind the earlier launch.
She said: "We want to hit that family audience.
"Starting in February means we can build excitement over a longer period while making the live semi-finals a much bigger event."
