This Morning presenter joins Britain’s Got Talent spin-off
This Morning and Gogglebox star Joe Baggs is officially joining the Britain’s Got Talent line-up, with the 28-year-old confirmed as host of the show’s online spin-off.
He’ll make his debut later this month, with the first semi-final set to air next Saturday (April 25) from 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
In a nod to his Gogglebox roots, Joe will present from a sofa supplied by sponsor DFS. From there, he’ll chat to the semi-finalists, offering viewers a closer look at the contestants through lighthearted interviews and games.
“I’ve been watching Britain’s Got Talent with my family for as long as I can remember, so it’s a real ‘pinch me’ moment to be joining as the official digital presenter this series. I’m excited for viewers to join me on the DFS sofa to get all the unbelievable backstage gossip from the live shows. We’ll be first with the news from the BGT semi-finalists in the run-up to the all-important live final. It’s going to be glorious chaos,” he said.
Joe lands This Morning job
Joe appears to be going from strength to strength, reportedly impressing ITV bosses after appearing on companion shows for Love Island and Big Brother in recent years.
He has also featured this week on the I’m A Celebrity spin-off podcast, Unpacked.
The star first rose to fame on Gogglebox after joining the cast in 2020, before stepping away in 2022. He now hosts the Not My Bagg podcast.
Last week also saw Joe join This Morning, where he presented the show’s competition segment.
Broadcasting from a beach in Cornwall, he told viewers they could win £100,000 along with a luxury holiday home.
