It’s time to dust off your big red buttons and prepare your sassiest 140 character opinions, because Britain’s Got Talent is back with a bang and coming to a small screen near you very soon.

Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon braved Birmingham’s miserable February weather in their snazziest outfits, ready to be entertained by this year’s crop of deluded wannabes.

Amanda Holden looked like a goddess in green as she strutted down the GBT red carpet without a coat (yikes). Amanda looked like she’d been laying off the Nutella crepes and going crazy at the gym as her teeny weeny frame seemed void of any post-Christmas paunch.

However, we’re guessing that Amanda probably regretted going bra-less AND coat-less, as Birmingham’s climate proved to be a bit *ahem* nippy.

Meanwhile, Alesha Dixon was also dressed rather unseasonably in a plunging white halter-neck catsuit. Which might have worked well in July, but all we can think of is how cold Alesha’s toes must be.

David Walliams looked suitably toasty in a jacket AND coat. Well done, Walliams. You’ve got the right idea on this whole not-freezing-to-death thing.

Finally, out stepped Simon Cowell in a grey jumper, grey blazer and grey trousers. Perhaps to match his grey personality, grey hopes and grey dreams. This ensemble was topped off with sunglasses (of course) because everybody knows that if you look Simon Cowell straight in the eye, you will turn to stone.
