Rumours had circulated for months suggesting that the duo were in contention to join Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden, and it has now been confirmed they will be joining the talent show for next year's series.
A tweet from ITV's press centre read: 'ITV signs Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff for Britain's Got Talent judging panel.'
The show, presented by comedy duo Ant and Dec, will have four judges for the first time when it returns next year.
Michael McIntyre has admitted that the appointment thrilled him.
'I'm a massive fan of Britain's Got Talent and am extremely excited to be a judge on the new series,' the comedian said.
He added: 'I was so thrilled when Simon Cowell asked me that I immediately wanted to run in to Ant and Dec's arms to celebrate.'
