Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli will be back behind the Britain's Got Talent judges desk on Sunday this weekend not Saturday as usual

Britain's Got Talent fans have been faced with another schedule shake-up as the live semi-finals continue.

 

Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli are on the hunt to find the UK's next big star.

The ITV show usually airs on Saturday evenings but this weekend will see the programme on Sunday, May 18 instead from 7pm until 9pm.

The FA Cup Final between Crystal Palace and Manchester City will air on Saturday (May 17) from 3pm until 7.15pm followed by Deal or No Deal Celebrity Special, Beat The Chasers and The 1% Club.

Ping Pong Pang and Opera singer Jasmine Rice made it through to the BGT final on Saturday (May 10) after judge Bruno gave the latter a golden buzzer.

Ping Pong Pang was voted the favourite act of the night by audiences, securing their place in the upcoming finale.

The act who wins the show overall are awarded a £250,000 cash prize and given a sought-after slot on the Royal Variety Show, where they will perform in front of King Charles.

It comes after BGT was hit by Ofcom complaint following its first live semi-final last month.

The show in question featured performances from daredevil Auzzy Blood and Japanese nudist Akira, with viewers branding their acts "unsuitable for children".

Both performers are no strangers to controversy.

Auzzy had previously drawn over 700 Ofcom complaints for his initial audition earlier this year.

Akira also encountered negative feedback for his act in February, with reports of 90 viewers taking issue with the nudity involved.

Despite their jaw-dropping performances, both Auzzy and Akira were unsuccessful in securing enough public votes to advance to the final.

Ping Pong Pang and Jasmine Rice will be joined in the grand final by Stacey Leadbeatter, Olly Pearson, Vinnie McKee, The Blackouts.
