The show returns for its 17th season.
Ant & Dec are back on our screens, bringing the finest - and most fascinating - acts to the stage in a new season of Britain’s Got Talent.
Already this run, we’ve seen an unprecedented AI-style performance and the return of the coveted golden buzzer - with plenty wowing the judges into sending them straight through to the semi-finals.
A new episode arrives tonight (Saturday 18th May), with a fresh batch of performers aiming to impress Bruno Tonioli, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
As ever, these acts are vying to make it to the grand finale and secure their spot at the Royal Variety Performance – and they aren't only competing for the spotlight, as the winner will also take home a whopping £250,000!
Over the course of the show's history, winners have included the likes of Diversity, Lee Ridley and George Sampson, with a brand new winner set to join them this year.

Britain's Got Talent 2024 judges
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli have all put their judging hats on once again for the latest season of Britain's Got Talent.
Tonioli joined the judging panel in 2023 after making the decision to leave Strictly Come Dancing after 18 years the year prior.
Speaking to Radio Times magazine about joining the series, Tonioli said: "I had a ball, partly because I had never seen it before. It's true! Simon has teased me to death about it.
"I didn't even watch Strictly – I don't watch shows that have a judging panel because I don't want to be influenced by another judge. I just want to do my own thing. But I had the best time.
"It's a proper variety show and the range of talent is incredible."
