Britain’s Got Talent 2023 first semi-final line up revealed – Meet tonight’s contestants

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.
