The fifteenth series of British talent competition programmeBritain's Got Talent was broadcast onITV, from 16 April 2022 to 5 June 2022. Filming of the series was originally planned for 2021, but with theCOVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom having led to strict government restrictions on television production, many of the production team, includingSimon Cowell, felt it would be wiser to postpone filming until conditions improved. Filming eventually began in January 2022, with Cowell making his return as a judge for the programme following his accident during the previous series.

The fifteenth series was won by stand-up comedianAxel Blake, with ventriloquist Jamie Leahey finishing in second place, and singerTom Ball placing third. During its broadcast, the series averaged around 6.38 million viewers.

The deliberations stage took place inside the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire Hotel during February 2022, with Cowell assisting the other three judges remotely from his London house due to him contractingCOVID-19.^[4]
