A huge crowd braved the miserable January weather to get a glimpse at Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanada Holden and Alesha Dixon.

The other judges led the way in a London-style red double decker bus and there were a huge number of screams from the crowd when Simon Cowell and the other judges emerged.

The upcoming series of the talent show is the first time it has visited the resort since 2012.
