Britain’s Got Talent, the ITV talent show judged and created by The X Factor‘s Simon Cowell, is postponing auditions to mourn the loss of One Direction‘s Liam Payne.

“Due to the tragic passing of Liam Payne, [Britain’s Got Talent] has decided to postpone today’s auditions in Blackpool,” ApplauseStore, which manages tickets for the show, wrote on X on Thursday.
