The semi-final performances will air Monday-Friday at between 7:30PM and 9PM followed by a separate results show at 9:30PM.

The final selection of acts as chosen by the judges – including the five golden buzzers – will all take to the stage in groups of 8 in a bid to win the public’s support.

And new for this year, the Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals will take place at the Hammersmith Apollo in London.

We’ll see Dec go solo as he hosts alone, each night welcoming a group of acts to the stage to perform for a chance of winning a life changing £250,000 and a spot at this year’s Royal Variety Performance.

Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams will offer their comments on the performances before lines open for viewers to vote. Each night two acts will go through to the live grand final.

The act with the highest public vote will automatically go into the final while the judges will decide between the second and third placed acts as to who will join them.

As well as performances from this year’s acts a host of guest performers will take to the stage during the results show as the semi-finalists wait to find out if they are one step closer to being crowned winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2018.

The live week is set to go off with a bang with BGT superstars Diversity on Monday’s show while the magical cast of Matilda The Musical will also perform.

Throughout the week viewers will also be treated to the musical stylings of Alfie Boe, pop princess Rita Ora, the fabulous cast of Chicago the Musical and reigning BGT champion, musician Tokio Myers.

Meanwhile, tickets to be in the audience for the Britain’s Got Talent 2018 live shows are FREE but – as you can imagine – in short supply and high demand.
