The ITV show’s 18th series will launch on Saturday, February 22.
Simon Cowell revealed that singer Cheryl Cole turned down a judging role on *Britain’s Got Talent*, a position now held by Amanda Holden, whom Cowell referred to as the “Britain’s Got Talent queen.” The 18th series of the show will return on Saturday, featuring Cowell, Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli as judges. Cheryl, who previously judged *The X Factor*, was offered the role but declined.
