Simon Cowell will be dragged onto the dance floor as the Britain’s Got Talent auditions come to a close on Saturday night.

The entertainment mogul and TV judge joins colleagues Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden on stage – thanks to a little convincing from David Walliams.

The foursome were brought out of their seats courtesy of the final audition of the series, from a 47-year-old DJ from Middlesbrough.

McPartlin stepped back from his presenting commitments when he was charged with drink-driving earlier this year.

He was banned from the road for 20 months and fined £86,000 after pleading guilty to driving while more than twice the legal limit.

Also auditioning in Saturday night’s show is an Irish dancing dog and a stand-up comedian from Gloucestershire who defies his hecklers.

Shaquille, 20, performs an original song on piano, which he dedicates to his father, while younger brother Shameer, 19, performs a dance routine as a doll that comes alive.

Those who make it through to the next stage across the auditions process will now face a nervous wait to discover if they have made it to the final 35 ahead of next week’s semi-finals.

– Britain’s Got Talent airs at 8pm on Saturday on ITV.
