Live: Britain's Got Talent auditions underway at the Hippodrome

The Britain’s Got Talent judges have arrived in Birmingham.

Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams are in the city judging acts at Birmingham Hippodrome for the next three days.

Crowds gathered along a red carpet to catch a glimpse of the stars.

There are six filming sessions taking place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 4-6, at 2pm and 7pm each day.

The BGT team have spent time in Birmingham seeing acts at open auditions and now audiences can watch those who have been invited back to perform in front of the judges.

15:26 Luke Beardsworth Audition

Theyre now practising doing cheers for when the stars actually get onto the red carpet.

Reminds of that scene at the end of Shrek.

Anyway, we must be close to some star power at this point.

15:25 Luke Beardsworth Ant or Dec?

We can confirm Ant & Dec are in Birmingham, which you already knew.

Sanjeeta over at WowBrum bumped into one of them this afternoon.

This one is Dec, I am reliably told.

Meeting with @DeliciousPR @HdV_Birmingham and guess who we bumped into?! #BGT https://t.co/2yVaSKiXgo
