The third series of ''Britain's Got Talent'' was broadcast on ITV from 11 April 2009 to 30 May 2009. Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan returned as judges. Ant & Dec returned as hosts with Stephen Mulhern coming back to present ''Britain's Got More Talent''. Kelly Brook was originally announced as a new fourth judge, reportedly being offered £200,000 for the role, but was fired after just six days, having acted as a judge in Manchester only, just one of the five audition venues. According to Cowell, the reason given for sacking Brook was because the producers decided the format was "too complicated" with four judges. Auditions took place in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Cardiff. One of the most notable performances for the series was by Susan Boyle, a 48-year-old woman from Blackburn, Scotland, during the auditions. Boyle sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical ''Les Misérables''. The performance earned a unanimous "yes" vote and resounding astonishment from the judges. Her performance helped lift the show to a launch record of 11.2 million viewers. Within five days of her initial appearance, YouTube recordings of the event had collectively generated more than 100 million views. Boyle also attracted widespread international media coverage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An unlikely star brings smiles to views, NBC Nightly News )〕 The series was won by street dance troupe Diversity, with Susan Boyle finishing second and saxophonist Julian Smith finishing third. ==Judges and presenters== Initially, it was announced that Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan would return as judges for the third series of ''Britain's Got Talent'', along with the addition of new judge Kelly Brook. However, it was later announced that Brook was to leave the panel after just six days working on the show. It was reported that Cowell felt "very bad" following Brook's exit and that he had offered her a job in another role on the show. It was also reported that Brook would receive her full £100,000 fee for appearing on the show. According to Cowell, the reason given for sacking Brook was because the producers decided the format was "too complicated" with four judges. She has since been referred to as a "guest judge" at only Manchester.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kelly Brook axed as TV talent show judge )〕 Ant & Dec returned as hosts of the main show on ITV.
