Britain’s Got Talent reveals first semi-final line up including controversial act that had fans ...

In previous years, all of the live shows have aired on consecutive nights. But for 2025, that is not the case.

The competition is heating up like never before! Britain’s Got Talent 2025 has officially entered its most electrifying phase with the live semi-finals now in full swing. If you are wondering when you can catch the next unforgettable night of talent, drama, and surprises, mark your calendars: the next live semi-final will air on Saturday, May 3rd at 7:00 PM (BST) on ITV1 and ITVX. 🗓️🎬

Unlike previous seasons, this year’s format has been completely revamped. Instead of cramming all the semi-finals into a single intense week, BGT 2025 is stretching the semi-final shows across five consecutive Saturdays, giving each batch of hopefuls a true moment to shine. The change promises more breathing space, more drama, and more unforgettable performances, leading up to the highly anticipated grand finale on Saturday, May 31st.

Adding even more excitement, each live semi-final now features a Live Golden Buzzer moment! ✨🎟️ That means during every semi-final episode, one judge or the host duo Ant & Dec will have the power to send an act straight through to the grand final — no public vote needed. For the rest of the contestants, the stakes remain sky-high as they rely entirely on the audience’s votes to keep their dreams alive. 

 The first semi-final, which aired on April 26th, already delivered incredible highs and tear-jerking moments. Vinnie McKee won the public vote after an unforgettable performance, while The Blackouts received a standing ovation and Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer, cementing their place among the elite finalists. 

But the road ahead is far from predictable. With each new semi-final, fresh talents, surprise performances, and emotional stories are capturing the hearts of millions. Expect shock eliminations, unexpected breakthroughs, and maybe even some major controversies along the way. 

Fans are already buzzing with predictions about who will win it all this year — and with the bar set sky-high, the next semi-final promises even more fireworks. Don’t miss a second of the action as Britain’s Got Talent 2025 continues to deliver magic, madness, and memories that will last a lifetime! 

 Tune in this Saturday and witness the next chapter of the UK's most beloved talent show unfold live before your eyes!
