Okay no smart comments now :)

But how do I download the BGT app which is made for the UK market to my phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tellybug.talent.britain&hl=en_GB

Do not want to do anything fancy or hard to my phone but if I can get it it would be great.

thanks

You could download the apk file from here: https://apk-dl.com/britains-got-talent-2015/com.tellybug.talent.britain and sideload it.

Thanks.
Just tried that a few times and comes up with error message that it is out of quota and to try later.
Should I Google for the file on another site ?

I'd try again later, there aren't too many sites I would download apps from outside the Play Store.

I figured how you do it and using Hola I got this message

You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions.

It's a bit complex, first if you don't already have an amazon acct, then create one, set your address to a UK address AND in your digital content settings (or something like that) set your country to the UK.

You'll probably have to download the amazon underground app (kinda Like Amazon's version of the google play store) and then install your BGT app from there.

A much much easier way that I've done is googled the UK apk and installed it from a 3rd party site. I'm not recommending this approach, but it has worked for me. It's a bit of a minefield.
