The judges, dressed in their full glam and winter coats, opted for public transport to reach the auditions earlier today.
Taking to X/Twitter with a snap of the celebs at the tram stop in Media City, one user wrote: “Waiting for my tram and look who it is!!”
The judges appeared to be accompanied only by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly.
Earlier this week, the stars arrived at the Manchester auditions with numerous security guards.
It came after police were forced to swoop in on the show’s recent set of London auditions after a female intruder tried to make her way backstage at the iconic Palladium venue.
The intruder was thought to have past by security guards and ‘trespassed’ into a forbidden backstage area.
Now bosses have upped their security detail in order to make the A-list panel feel safe.
A show source said: “They hired extra security both inside and outside the venue in Manchester today .
“Simon and of course Ant and Dec have been surrounded by extra staff as they came in and security hasn’t left their sides all day.
“It will be an ongoing measure to ensure there is no disruption to their filming schedule.”
