Britain’s Got Talent viewers will no doubt be shielding their eyes ahead of this weekend’s semi-final. Rather than running each semi-final daily, show bosses made the decision to shake the show up this year and will air a live episode each weekend.
But while there’s a mixture of contestants taking to the stage this weekend, those tuning in to see who will go through to the final will be left sitting on the edge of their seats. This year, Olly Pearson and Stacey Leadbeatter have already secured their place in the grand final, alongside Vinnie McKee and The Blackouts.
This week, dancers, gymnasts, a musician, singers, and a danger act will take to the stage. But what can we expect? Well, ITV have now confirmed that one of the most stomach-churning acts of the year will be performing in front of the judges and the live studio audience.

Danger act, Bao Cuong, who previously left Alesha Dixon, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Bruno Toniolo gobsmacked during his intense act. The performer swallowed a string of utensils as well as a giant pair of scissors before a flaming sword. Head judge Simon looked utterly horrified as he branded Bao’s performance “disgusting”.
Elsewhere, gymnast Albert Amores, 18, wowed the judges with a stunning routine to Benson Boone’s hit single Beautiful Things. Albert left the judges so impressed that he received a staggering four yeses and sailed through to the next round of the competition.

Singers Electric Umbrella, who sang their original song Acceptance will also be performing. During their audience, Simon was so happy with their set that they received Simon’s second golden buzzer of the audition process.
Meanwhile, Wirral-born dancer Harry Barnes and his dance partner, Lewis, from Manchester, will also be performing a jaw-dropping dance routine. During their audition, the pair who met as children admitted they were “besties” and they both teach children their skills in hopes of inspiring them.

Their routine to Kid Cudi’s Day ‘n’ Nite impressed Alesha Dixon, who said she loved watching the lads’ “passion and enthusiasm” as Bruno exclaimed: “What a great job!” They went on to win over the judges and were given four yeses. Also performing is drag queen Jasmine Rice who performed a rendition of Nessun Dorma.
Bruno Tonioli was reduced to tears following the song as he confirmed: “I was crying.” Fellow singer Mickey Callisto showcased his impressive talent as he belted out Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen. “Is this Mickey? Is this Freddie? But whatever it was, it’s sensational, your voice is absolutely stunning,” gushed Alesha.
Italian dance group Ping Pong Pang Crew kicked off the episode of their audition. The group, which also consists of siblings, attracted controversy. They had previously received two golden buzzers while competing on Italy’s Got Talent. Scottish musician RuMac will also be taking to the stage, having left KSI, Amanda, Alesha and Simon wowed with his accordion singles as he played Yes Sir, I Can Boogie.

However, Simon was initially doubtful, admitting: “Oh no, it’s even worse. It’s an accordion. I hate accordions,” with Alesha also in agreement. Simon later added: “Accordions and recorders, normally, they don’t go down great however, I’ve never heard anything like this in my life, it was fantastically mad.”
Opening the semi-final this week will be the cast of Just For One Day, the musical which delves into the backstage story of the biggest global music event on record, Live Aid. Audiences can expect a showstopping opening as the show is set to transfer to the West End this month, following sold-out runs at London’s Old Vic and in Toronto.

Also on the bill this week, Britain’s Got Talent reigning champion, Sydnie Christmas, will take to the stage for a jaw-dropping performance. Sydnie won Amanda’s Golden Buzzer with her touching rendition of Tomorrow from the musical Annie, before breezing through the semi-finals with her performance of My Way.
However, it was her stunning version of Over the Rainbow that captured the nation’s hearts and saw her crowned as the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2024. This year, the final will air much later than usual, with the series likely to crown its champion on Saturday, May 31.
