‘Britain’s Got Talent’ Final Slumps To Record Low Rating As Simon Cowell’s Star Format Loses Sparkle

Britain’s Got Talent is no longer the ratings banker it once was.

Simon Cowell’s star format is losing its shine after the latest season bowed out with 5.3M viewers, the lowest-rated finale in the ITV show’s 16-year history.
