Just two acts progress each week for a shot at the £250,000 prize and a spot on the bill of the Royal Variety Performance.

After his first appearance, singing a song about Scotch eggs, Simon Cowell said: “I’m not going to get that song out my head. It was brilliant but terrible at the same time. I’m going to say ‘yes’.”

Amanda Holden said: “I would happily put you on the Royal Variety based on just that song. You’ve got a yes from me.”

Each week, performers from every corner of the UK and all around the world take to the stage in the hope of not just impressing the judges, but also the voting public.

With the judges and hosts holding the power of the golden buzzer, contestants will be trying their best to excel beyond expectations to get that special ticket straight to the final.

Britain’s Got Talent first premiered 19 years ago on ITV in 2007.
