We're only days away from the new series of Britain's Got Talent, which starts on Saturday, 6th April, and we can't wait to see popular TV presenter Ant McPartlin reunited with his on screen partner Declan Donnelly.

Now, ahead of the series we've been given a little insight into what to expect and in a recent release from ITV, Ant and Dec have revealed the unusual method of transport they made the Britain's Got Talent judges use, to make sure they weren't late!

When asked how the show's judges, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams, had been behaving backstage, Dec replied, "They all get on like a dysfunctional family!"

With Ant explaining, "We are constantly having to wrangle them. We’ve got to get them all onstage on time, which never happens!"

Comparing the situation to "herding cats", the pair joked that one of the girls is always in a robe after taking their clothes off so they don't get creased!

Ant then revealed that this year the judges were actually given scooters in an attempt to keep them on time, admitting, "They are a bunch of kids so it actually worked!"

We need to see a video of this!

As we're just days away from the new series of Britain's got Talent, the lovable pair were also asked about the talent we can expect on the show.

"We’re always shocked by what we see and on series 13 that’s no mean feat because you go, ‘Well, we’ve kind of seen it all’," Dec said.

He continued, "But on more than one occasion this year we’ve both looked at each other and been like, ‘Even after 13 series we’ve never seen that before’."

Ant then added, "This act came on and did synchronised skipping, and we’re stood in the wings thinking how we’ve never seen anything like this before."
