Britain’s Got Talent will not be on ITV this coming Saturday, May 16, following a huge shake-up to the schedule. The popular talent show, hosted by Ant and Dec, usually takes the Saturday night slot on primetime telly.
However this coming weekend the show is set to air on Sunday, May 17, instead as the semi-finals continue. The schedule shake-up is due to the football being on, as fans tune into the FA Cup Final from 3pm featuring Crystal Palace against Manchester City on ITV on Saturday instead.
The line-up on ITV following this includes Deal or No Deal Celebrity Special, Beat The Chasers, and The 1% Club. Britain’s Got Talent will then be shown on Sunday from 7 to 9pm, reports the Mirror.
It comes as the show returned on the weekend (May 11) for the third semi-final of the 2025 series, which has had fans eagerly awaiting to discover which two acts would secure a spot in the grand final which is set to take place later on this month.
The programme was opened by the cast of Just For One Day – the musical which explores the behind-the-scenes story of Live Aid, one of the biggest global music events in history, created by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure OBE. Former show winner Sydnie Christmas also returned to the stage, wowing the judges and audience.

Following a number of jaw-dropping acts, from performers, including stuntman, Bao; Dance act Ping Pong Pang secured a spot in the final alongside drag queen opera singer, Jasmine Rice.
Ping Pong Pang narrowly missed out on the Golden Buzzer as Amanda begged for the performers to be sent into the final. She urged viewers to vote for the dancers as she was blown away by the act. “If I had another Golden Buzzer, I would give it to you,” Bruno told them.
Simon added: “We have never seen an act like this and we have been doing it a long time. This is my favourite live show so far.”
Meanwhile, Bruno made Jasmine Rice his Golden Buzzer act. The drag queen opera singer has been sent all the way into the final following her performance of Never Enough.
The Golden Buzzer gives judges Bruno, Amanda, Alesha Dixon, and Simon as well – as hosts Ant and Dec – the chance to send one act each straight to the final.
New York performer Jasmine secured their spot in the final after delivering a stunning rendition from The Greatest Showman, which received overwhelming praise from the judges.
However, fans have been less enthusiastic about the choice to send them through after complaining that another musician is among this year’s finalists.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “Bgt should be renamed to #xfactor. The final is predominantly made up of singers. Yes Jasmine can sing, but it’s another b****y singer!”
Ping Pong Pang and Jasmine Rice will be joined in the grand finale by Stacey Leadbeatter, Olly Pearson, Vinnie McKee and The Blackouts.
