Britain's Got Talent will be airing on a different day this weekend as the live semi-finals continue

Britain's Got Talent fans are set for another change in their viewing schedule as the live semi-finals press on.

The judging panel, comprising Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli, is scouring the nation for the next standout act.

Contrary to its regular Saturday night slot, ITV has moved this weekend's episode to Sunday, May 18, airing from 7pm to 9pm.

Football fans will be tuning in on Saturday (May 17) from 3pm to watch the FA Cup Final featuring Crystal Palace against Manchester City, followed by a lineup including Deal or No Deal Celebrity Special, Beat The Chasers, and The 1% Club.

Last Saturday (May 10), Ping Pong Pang and opera vocalist Jasmine Rice clinched their spots in the BGT final, with Jasmine receiving the golden buzzer from judge Bruno, reports Wales Online.

Audience votes propelled Ping Pong Pang into the finale as the night's top act. 

The ultimate winner of Britain's Got Talent will walk away with a £250,000 prize and the coveted opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Show before King Charles.

ITV has moved this weekend's episode to Sunday, May 18

That particular show featured acts by daredevil Auzzy Blood and Japanese nudist Akira, which some viewers criticised as being "unsuitable for children".

Both Auzzy and Akira are known for stirring up controversy, with Auzzy's first audition earlier this year attracting over 700 complaints to Ofcom.

Akira faced backlash for his act in February, with 90 viewers reportedly expressing discomfort with the nudity involved.

Despite their stunning performances, both Auzzy and Akira failed to secure enough public votes to progress to the final.

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