Who's on Britain's Got Talent 2023 tonight? Monday, 29 May

The first line up of contestants for tonight’s (Monday, 29 May) Britain’s Got Talent 2023’s semi-final have been revealed.

The BGT 2023 contestants were chosen by the judges earlier this month.

After acts auditioned for the panel all around the UK, a total of 40 semi-finalists have made the cut, including the golden buzzer contestants.

In the semi-finals the viewers will decide one contestant to go into the final while the judges – Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon – will decide another.
