Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has shared a huge spoiler for the upcoming new series.
The TV star, 53, spoke on her Heart Breakfast show on Wednesday morning with Jason King where she gave an insight into what viewers can expect.
She has been filming auditions in Blackpool this week – which she has now said included a pole dancing seagull and a man who dedicated an entire song to Bruno while sitting on a giant rooster.
She judges on the panel alongside Simon Cowell, 65, Alesha Dixon, 46, and Bruno Tonioli, 69.
Amanda said on the radio show: ‘It’s BGT time. We’re doing the auditions in Blackpool and I’m all over the place. I’m doing Heart, I’m doing Blackpool, I’m doing everything!
‘And yesterday, I mean it is a spoiler alert, I don’t know how much the producers care or if they’re even up listening. But yesterday we have never had so many birds on stage.

‘Before you write in, I am going to say we had a pole dancing seagull, we had a man who played rubber chickens, and we had a man who dedicated an entire song to Bruno while sitting on a giant rooster.
‘You can imagine where that story went…it was quite late at night. I say rooster, you do the math.
She added: ‘It was one of those days where you go ‘there is nowhere else on earth that you get entertainment like this!’
The show returns this spring and will be airing every Saturday night.
Her co-star Jason then asked her: ‘Did you know if the seagull was local? Is it a Blackpool seagull?’
She responded: ‘Well, you know what? We tried to interview the seagull and it didn’t speak. It did a lot of squawking and then went after me chips.’
‘And believe me, I mean, obviously this seagull was pole dancing. It was a giant seagull. It wolfed down the lot!’
Jason then enquired: ‘So based on what you’ve just said, in that what minute, it’s going to be a good one, isn’t it?’
She judges on the panel alongside Simon Cowell, 65, Alesha Dixon, 46, and Bruno Tonioli, 69 (seen on last year’s series)

Amanda excitedly replied saying: ‘It’s a corker. I mean, it’s one of the only shows, you know, along with Strictly and shows like that, where you can sit down.
‘It’s a generational show. It’s an event. It’s something to get a takeaway, a bottle of wine, sit down with the kids and watch on Saturdays. And I can’t wait for you all to say it’s brilliant. It’s gonna be brilliant.’
It comes after her fellow judge Simon suggested he is still suffering from a painful medical issue after first opening up about it last year.
The TV mogul shared how he suffers from debilitating migraines last year when he worried fans after being forced to miss a couple of auditions during filming.
Simon wears a pair of red-tinted glasses to protect his eyes while shooting in the studio under bright lights for long periods of time.
And a new picture which was shared by Simon on Tuesday showed the judges reuniting at the BGT auditions as filming for the new series kicked off.
Simon was wearing a pair of the coloured lens glasses in the snap, suggesting he is still struggling with migraines a year on.
Alongside him were his fellow judges Amanda, Ashley and Bruno as they began a new series.
Revealing they were in Blackpool for the next round of auditions, Simon declared: ‘We’re back!’
In February last year, Simon took to his Instagram as he explained to some ‘concerned’ fans that he needs them for health reasons.
He finished off saying: ‘Next week we are filming BGT in Manchester – I look forward to seeing you then. PS. This is why I wear these glasses!’
Sharing a shot of him wearing the glasses while on the judging panel, he wrote: ‘I just found out according to the internet, I have a ‘mystery illness’.
‘For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of one day, two weeks ago, because I do get migraines after long days in the filming lights.’
This series the judges will once again be joined by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly while YouTube star KSI will also make a guest appearance on the show.
The series was postponed in October following the death of Liam Payne, who rose to fame on Simon’s show, the X Factor in 2010.
In a statement following Liam’s death in October, a spokesman for the programme’s producer, Freemantle UK, said: ‘Due to the tragic passing of Liam Payne, we have decided to postpone the Britain’s Got Talent auditions. Our thoughts are with Liam’s friends, family and all who loved him.’
Simon had decided last minute to call off the auditions in Blackpool as he discovered the shocking news.
Following Liam’s passing, a ‘devastated’ Simon paid a heartfelt tribute to the ‘kind, funny and talented’ One Direction star, who ‘never forgot the fans’.
The auditions resumed after Britain’s Got Talent made a huge change to the audition process.
Show bosses pulled the plug on hosting the auditions in the London Palladium and they will now all be held in Blackpool instead.
According to The Sun, bosses decided to change the location because they found the atmosphere in the seaside town to be so enthusiastic for the show.

A source said: ‘BGT is a show that hangs on the audience and how they react — and basically the crowd in Blackpool are absolutely brilliant.
‘The Palladium is such an iconic venue but if you compare the shows in Blackpool to the ones they have filmed in London, the audience is way more up for it there.
‘Boss Simon Cowell has given the green light to the move and just wants the show to be the best it can be.’
The insider added that Amanda may not be happy with the change, as she works five days a week in London and will have to commute.
Listen to Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden weekdays from 6.30am – 10am across the UK and on Global Player.
