Britain's Got Talent ups the ante in the Semi-Finals with a brand-new Golden Buzzer twist that will give the judges more control!
For the first time ever, the legendary Golden Buzzer is making its way to the Live Shows! In a game-changing move, one Judge—or even Ant & Dec—will now have the power each week to send an act straight through to the grand finale.
So, how does it all work? In each Semi-Final, one lucky Judge or Ant & Dec will take control of the Golden Buzzer. Once they witness a show-stopping performance worthy of the Final, they’ll get one shot to hit that buzzer. The chosen act will instantly secure a spot in the Final—joining another act selected by the public vote that same night.
And if that’s not enough to keep you on the edge of your seat… there’s more! This year, the Live Semi-Finals are shaking things up by airing every Saturday night! That’s right—your weekend just got a serious upgrade.
Get ready for jaw-dropping talent, shock twists, and pure Saturday night magic when the Britain’s Got Talent Live Semi-Finals kick off on Saturday 26th April at 7pm, exclusively on ITV, ITVX and STV.
