Who's on Britain's Got Talent tonight? Thursday's (May 30) semi-final contestants line up

Here’s tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent 2019 semi-final line up with the contestants performing on Thursday’s live show.

This evening will see the penultimate live semi-final show of the series as another eight acts perform live before the public vote opens.

Each night eight of the final 40 semi-finalists will perform live in the hope of impressing viewers at home and winning the all-important public vote.

Two acts from each night’s show will make it into the live final on Sunday 2 June, with a chance of winning a life changing £250,000 and a spot at this year’s Royal Variety Performance.

But this year it won’t just be down to the viewers. 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.

Up on this evening’s (Thursday) show are…

“I’m really excited! Magic is at its very best when it’s live as anything can happen,” says Ben. “Last time I was on the show I had a lot of big props, but what captured everyone’s imagination was a small little mystery – a single egg.

“With that in mind, this time I will leave the big equipment at home and try to create a small intimate moment by performing some close up magic.”
