It's simple really. The Britain's Got Talent theatre auditions were in fact recorded back in January and February 2018 – before Ant was arrested (and subsequently charged) for drink driving on Sunday 18th March.

That means all of the prerecorded material filmed at auditions in London, Manchester and Blackpool that we will be watching on Saturday nights for the next seven weeks features both Ant and Dec.

This includes the pair supporting and joking with the acts before and after they go on stage, as well as joining Stephen Mulhern on ITV2's Britain's Got More Talent where they will be playing games including SM:TV Live favourite Wonkey Donkey.

The only question mark is currently hanging over the live episodes of BGT that fall at the end of May, which Dec could well be hosting by himself after he impressed taking the reins solo for two weeks during Saturday Night Takeaway.
