Tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent first live semi-final line up

Britain's Got Talent judges

The countdown is over – Britain’s Got Talent is about to turn up the heat with its first live semi-final this Saturday.

Eight acts are stepping into the spotlight tonight, each dreaming of grabbing a place in the grand final.

And with £250,000 and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance up for grabs, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Here’s who’s battling it out:

Heavysaurus, the dinosaur rock band who have been stomping their way into viewers’ hearts.

Teddy Magic, ready to pull out all the stops (and maybe a few rabbits) to wow the judges.

Vinnie McKee
, the singer who’s hoping his voice will carry him all the way to the final.

The Blackouts, bringing a mix of dance and variety that’s impossible to ignore.

Akira, ready to show us what true variety looks like.

Linda Mudzenda, whose singing talents could light up the stage.

Eden Choi, who’ll be adding some magic to the night.

Auzzy Blood, the danger act that promises to leave everyone holding their breath.

But this year, there’s a new twist shaking things up.

For the first time ever, not only will the public be voting, but the judges – and even Ant & Dec – have a chance to hit the Golden Buzzer again, sending one lucky act straight into the final.

Only two of the eight will make it through, so the competition is tougher than ever.

And it’s not just the contestants bringing the energy.

Karis Anderson will set the stage alight with a performance as Tina Turner from TINA – The Tina Turner Musical.

The musical has been thrilling audiences with Tina’s story of resilience and triumph and is currently lighting up London’s West End and stages across the country.

Tune in live at 7PM this Saturday on ITV1 and ITVX.
