Who is performing in third BGT semi-final tonight? 8 acts
The third live semi-final airs on ITV tonight (May 9), where a mix of performers will take to the stage for a chance to win the coveted prize.
Acts range from dancers to circus performers and will be vying to impress judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and show newcomer KSI, who recently replaced Bruno Tonioli.
A place in the grand final would give them a shot at a cash prize and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
In total, 40 acts made it through to the semi-final stage, but only 10 can reach the final.
Two acts can get into the final from each of the five semi-finals, either by winning the public vote or receiving the singular golden buzzer allowed in an episode to go straight in.
They aim to join previously confirmed finalists Matty Juniosa and the dance duo Anastasiia and Salsa.
Mr Juniosa secured his spot after receiving the golden buzzer from Ms Holden, which put him straight through to the final.
Who is competing tonight?
The line-up of contestants competing this weekend was revealed on the official BGT social media channels on Thursday, May 7.
This includes glowing performance group Antigravity, daredevil act Liwei Yang, The Lux City Choir, dance group Mega Unity, acrobatic act Mizuki Shinagawa, harpist and singer Niamh Noade, dance group Playground and finally comedian Ted Hill.
The comedian and science presenter was awarded Ant and Dec’s Golden Buzzer for his unique performance.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian performance group Antgravity was Alesha Dixon’s Golden Buzzer act after she beat Simon to the button.
Alesha threw herself onto the desk to beat Simon, but Cowell then insisted his pinky made contact first.

The collision happened on the southbound carriageway between Junction 6 for Lewknor and Junction 5 for Watlington in the late morning on Saturday, August 29.
The emergency services attended the scene and closed the road,
National Highways said lanes two and three of the three-lane motorway were shut as a result while crews dealt with the incident, leading to delays of around 40 minutes.
Congestion was worsened by separate lane closures between Junctions 4 and 5 in both directions following damage to the central reservation from an earlier incident.
Traffic built up on approaches to the crash, with nearby areas including Stokenchurch and Lewknor also affected.
Images from traffic cameras showed long queues of vehicles and emergency workers at the scene throughout the afternoon.
AA Travel also reported that one lane was closed on the northbound carriageway between Handy Cross and Stokenchurch due to emergency repairs.
National Highways later confirmed that all southbound lanes between Junctions 6 and 5 had reopened and that the lane closures linked to the earlier incident were also being removed.
Despite the reopening, delays of around 40 minutes remained on the approach as traffic slowly returned to normal.
