Britain’s Got Talent: Simon Cowell pets huskies in advert trailer

The forthcoming 12th series of Britain’s Got Talent has set tongues wagging, with the Tudor-themed trailer’s release sending fans wild.

Behind-the-scenes, it seemed the judges were as excited as fans while larking around on-set with the head honcho Simon Cowell sitting in front of a green screen while petting two huskies on either side.

Elsewhere, fellow panellists, including Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams, were seen larking around with Amanda, 47, posing with her tongue poking out while Alesha, 39, was feeling equally playful.

In the hilarious new clip, Simon plays King Arthur; Amanda dazzles as Elizabeth I; David plays George III; and Alesha nabs the role of Queen Victoria. The scenes were all shot in London’s Stationers Hall which dates back to the 1600s.  

The ladies of the panel, who typically command attention for their sizzling outfits, turned heads for a totally different reason as they ditched their glamorous appearance to take on the Tudor Queens in the new advert.   

The judges appeared to take on the legendary Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, for the show’s Royal-themed trailer.

Amanda ditched her trademark blonde locks for a fiery red curly permed wig as she switched her usual bronzed make-up for a pale ivory look instead.

The mother-of-two wore a stunning regal red and orange embroidered corset dress as she completed the outfit with an iconic autumnal coloured ruff around the neck.

Accessorising the ensemble, the actress added a beaded tiara, an expensive-looking sceptre, several diamond rings and the word ‘love’ tattooed on her knuckles.

Meanwhile, Alesha opted for a totally different look as she dressed her enviable figure in a black and white padded laced dress with a velvet bodice. 

The Mis-Teeq singer styled her sleek hair into a low bun as she added a white lace veil and petite silver crown. 

However, unlike her co-star, the mother-of-one kept her accessories simple as she finished off her look with elegant pearl earrings and a pastel Jade ring.

But Alesha and Amanda weren’t alone for the Royal-themed advert as co-judges Simon, 58, and David Walliams, 46, also dressed up for the occasion.

Music mogul, Simon, ditched his signature look to take on King Arthur with a pair of wolves at his side.

The father-of-one wore a white shirt, black velvet trousers and a sleeveless fur cape, accessorising with a gold necklace and detailed copper arm bangle.

While David took on a much more theatrical makeover as he took inspiration from the Rococo style and Marie Antoinette.
