Britain’s Got Talent finale date revealed - as Ant McPartlin prepares for first return to TV since birth of his son

Britain’s Got Talent’s live final on Sunday night, 2 May, had audiences on the edge of their seats, as the live show encountered an unfortunate mishap. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted a member of Korean taekwondo stars Ssaulabi Performance Troupe suffering a freak accident as they performed in front of the judges. During their performance, in which the troupe smashed planks whilst being thrown in the air, two members collided mid air, as one came tumbling down to the ground.

Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas has spoken about the "soul-destroying" backlash she has faced - amid claims by some viewers that her triumph was a "fix". The gym receptionist clinched victory on Sunday night with a showstopping performance of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

The voting percentages for the final of Britain's Got Talent have been revealed after Sydnie Christmas bagged the win during Sunday (2 June) evening's grand final - pocketing the whopping £250,000 cash prize while also securing a slot to sing at the Royal Variety Performance later this year. It has been confirmed that Sydnie took 27% of the public vote after wowing judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli with her rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow during the final. While Magician Jack Rhodes, who placed second, had 15.8% of the public vote behind him.Troupe Haribow had the lowest votes of the evening with 3.1%.

Amanda Holden fans were jokingly encouraging each other to complain as they were left dazzled by her appearance during the Britain's Got Talent final. The show judge was back for one last time this series on Sunday (June 2) alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.

It appears that Amanda Holden's position on Britain's Got Talent has been pretty much "established". Although the 2024 series isn't over yet, it seems like fans may enjoy their favourite judge on the panel for another couple of years. The star managed to put Simon Cowell on the spot during the grand finale which aired on Sunday June 2.

Britain's Got Talent's final kicked off on Sunday night, as the remaining ten acts battled it out to win the huge cash prize and a spot on the Royal variety show.

Singer Sydnie Christmas burst into floods of tears as she was crowned winner of Britain's Got Talent 2024 in tonight's live final (Sunday, 2 June).They will now go on to perform in front of members of the Royal Family at the Royal Variety Performance on Friday, 22 November, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. And that’s not the only prize - they also walk away with a huge £250,000 prize pot.

Britain's Got Talent fans were left frustrated as the series final aired on Sunday, 2 June, declaring that it was "ruined" because of the passionate reactions from the live audience. During the highly-anticipated final, viewers complained about the overwhelming crowd noise - predominantly booes - which regularly interrupted former Strictly star Bruno Tonioli's commentary during the first few acts.

Fans were left confused after Bruno Tonioli appeared to face 'boos' during the live Britain's Got Talent final on Sunday, 2 June.The unexpected response came as Bruno was being interviewed by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly about the evening's performances. The Italian choreographer, who is a fresh face on the BGT judging panel after replacing David Walliams, shared his enthusiasm for the show, saying: "I enjoyed it so much! And as long as they want me, I'm on it, because obviously I haven't done it before and they allow me to be myself.They have all been so supportive, and for me, every show is an adventure, and that's how I approach it.

Britain's Got Talent may be known as a rather happy show with its dancing dogs and singing children, but as the 17th series draws to a close, it's rather unsurprising that there have been some behind-the-scenes scandals. From doggy fraud, to fix accusations, and one judge being booted off the show, BGT has certainly hit headlines over the years, with some of these scandals looming larger than others.

The Britain's Got Talent live final has been an emotional rollercoaster for one of the contestants, who was spotted shedding tears on the London underground mere hours before the big event. Sydnie Christmas, 28, isn't overwhelmed by the pressure of performing live, but rather she's been brought to tears by sheer happiness after receiving a social media follow from one of her musical heroes.

Britain's Got Talent turned into a spectacle just minutes into Thursday's live semi-final when a familiar face got jeered on stage as he kept returning, despite not being successful with judges. During the audition rounds, an act named Bobby Goldfinn who donned a quirky goldfish mask, tried his luck at cracking jokes in front of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli.

Britain's Got Talent fans have issued the same complaint after judge Simon Cowell has named the 'favourite to win' the ITV talent contest. The second round of live semi-final shows saw magician Jack Rhodes and Double Dutch group Haribow earn a place in Sunday's grand finale.

Ant McPartlin has been on cloud nine ever since he welcomed son Wilder into the world - and now the newborn has made his first ever Britain's Got Talent debut. Ant, 48, has been a staple host on Britain's Got Talent since 2007, and now it looks like his son could follow in his footsteps as baby Wilder made an appearance at the ITV talent show studios too. Anne-Marie Corbett - Ant's wife of three years - gave birth two weeks ago and brought their son to visit his dad's place of work for the BGT semi-finals.

While Britain’s Got Talent features a host of comedy acts on stage each year, some of the funniest moments of the show actually take place when presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly tease the judges between performances. During the second semi final on Tuesday 28 May, the spotlight was turned on Simon Cowell as Ant and Dec made fun of Simon’s late return to the judges’ desk during the live show the night before.

Italian shadow artist Matteo Fraziano was forced to stop his act during the semi-final of Britain's Got Talent after a mishap during the live show plunged his performance into chaos.The young impressionist Matteo took to the stage when it became clear something was amiss as he appeared to drop something before a crew member ran over. Just seconds went by before Matteo began his act which luckily continued without a hitch.

When 26 year old Jack Rhodes showcased his impressive magic act during the audition stages of Britain’s Got Talent, he revealed to hosts Ant and Dec that he didn’t have any family members in the audience to support him. At the time, he told them: “None of my family like magic, they’re not here,” so Ant kindly responded: “Tonight, we’re your family, Jack.” Jack replied to their sweet gesture by saying, “You can be my two dads,” as he walked to the stage and went on to wow Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli with his sleight of hand and mind tricks.

Last year's Britain's Got Talent live shows got off to a rather awkward start when Ant McPartlin suffered a "heavy fall" live on-air.The TV presenter took a tumble following the show's opening dance number - which was performed by 2009 winners, London-based dance group Diversity, fronted by Dancing On Ice judge, Ashley Banjo. As the dance was coming to an end Ant and his co-host Declan Donnelly made their way centre stage to introduce the first act, when Ant slipped into the air, landing on his back before dancer Ashley helped him to his feet.

Britain's Got Talent returned with its first round of live semi finals on Monday night (May 27). Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli returned to the panel to judge eight performers who were vying to make it to this weekend's final.

Ant McPartlin returned to the screen on Monday 27 May for the first time since becoming a dad, as he and Declan Donnelly resumed presenting duties on this year's Britain's Got Talent live shows. As the new dad picked up where he left off, judge Simon Cowell sent his congratulations during the show, telling the presenter: "By the way, can I just say congratulations to you, Ant? Truly, I really am happy for you.” Beaming, Ant replied: “Thank you, I know you are. And thank you for you lovely gift.” He then quipped: “Judges, I’m still waiting on yours” as the rest of the panel Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli, kept quiet.
