Simon Cowell looked in great spirits as he arrived at the first auditions for this year’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.

Wearing a black coat and dark glasses, the music mogul, who has recently been holidaying in Barbados, made the peace sign at photographers.

Meanwhile, Alesha Dixon made sure the series began on a very fashionable footing, arriving at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff in a black belted maxi dress.

Fellow judge Amanda Holden looked lovely in yellow whilst David Walliams stopped to greet fans as he walked the red carpet.
