Britain's Got Talent (BGT) fans have taken to social media to complain about the "silly" decision to pull the show from it's usual Saturday night time slot.
The 18th series of the popular ITV talent show began late last month (February).
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli are back again as judges on the show, joined this season by internet personality, boxer and rapper KSI (guest judge).
Ant and Dec have also returned as BGT hosts.
Why is Britain's Got Talent not on this weekend?
BGT was removed from ITV's Saturday night schedule this weekend (March 15), replaced by the final match of the 2025 Guinness Six Nations tournament between France and Scotland.
Kick off for the Six Nations clash was at 8pm and so ITV coverage was scheduled for 7.15pm to 10.35pm meaning there was no room for BGT which usually airs at 7pm.
Coverage of the France v Scotland match also meant popular ITV quiz show The 1% Club, hosted by Lee Mack, was also bumped from the Saturday night schedule.
'Absolute joke': Fans fuming as BGT pulled from ITV schedule
In the absence of BGT, fans took to social media instead on Saturday night to vent their frustration at the "silly" decision to pull the show from the weekend schedule.
One fan, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Britain's got talent not on tonight so I am a little bit p****d about that. I need my Saturday Ant and Dec."
Another viewer commented: "Whoever made that decision wants the sack! So many more channels you could put the rugby on.
"Alienated a lot of your viewer on a Saturday night . Silly decision."
While a third person added: "Absolute joke this is. Best night of the week for tv and you take everything off for that s**t.
"Why not put the friggin rugby on itv4 like you did with the FA cup."
When is Britain's Got Talent back on TV?
Britain's Got Talent will return to it's usual Saturday night slot next weekend.
BGT in a post on X said: "Britain's Got Talent may not be the telly this weekend, but we *promise* we'll make up for it next weekend!"
The next episode of Britain's Got Talent will air at 7pm on ITV, ITVX and STV next Saturday (March 22).
