We are sure it will help us gain real exposure and get closer to cat lovers around the country. We are really looking forward to seeing our Facebook fan entries into Britain’s Cleverest Cat and to share in the success of Britain’s Got Talent.”
The content will launch on the Felix Facebook page prior to being hosted on the Britain’s Got Talent official website.
Naomi Edler, commercial director at Syco, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Felix to the Britain’s Got Talent family. Our show celebrates talent in all shapes and forms and as we are a nation of pet lovers we are thrilled with the association. We salute Felix on their ambitious search to find the UK’s cleverest cat and look forward to the big reveal during the advert break in Britain’s Got Talent final night.”
