Britain’s Got Talent 2025 kicks off its semi-finals tonight on ITV and ITVX — with an electrifying performance from the smash-hit West End show Tina – The Tina Turner Musical to launch the celebrations.
Following six weeks of auditions, the BGT semi-finals begin tonight — Saturday 26 April 2025 — at 7pm on ITV1, with catch-up available on ITVX. New semi-final shows will then air every Saturday until 23 May.
Featuring judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli, and hosted by Ant and Dec, the semi-finals are taking place in the Eventim Apollo in London.
In a brand-new twist for 2025, the semi-finals will feature a golden buzzer, with one judge or Ant & Dec awarding it each weekend to send a favourite act straight through to the final.
Acts featuring in the semi-final are: rock band Heavysaurus, magician Teddy Magic, singer Vinnie McKee, dance troupe The Blackouts, variety act Akira, sword swallower Auzzy Blood, singer Linda Mudzenda, and magician Eden Choi.
Last year’s Britain’s Got Talent winner was West End singer Syndie Christmas.
Fresh from celebrating its 7th sensational year in London, and welcoming its two-millionth visitor, TINA – The Tina Turner Musical will rock the Britain’s Got Talent stage tonight.
