If you’ve been waiting for the next wave of singers, dancers, magicians and oddball acts, you’re in the right place. Britain’s Got Talent 2025 is back with bigger stages, fresh faces and the same panel of judges you love to argue with. Below we break down the audition process, the live shows schedule, and how you can get involved without missing a beat.
The open call kicked off in March, with regional venues in Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and London. Auditions are open to anyone aged 5‑80, and the producers are looking for acts that can surprise, entertain, or simply make you smile. If you want to be seen, bring a well‑rehearsed routine, a clear audio mix and a bit of personality – judges love a story behind the performance.
Online submissions are still an option. Upload a two‑minute video to the official BGT portal, write a short bio, and you’ll be entered into a random draw for a spot on the live stage. Make sure your lighting is good and your sound is clear – the jury judges the act as much by its presentation as by its talent.
This season the judging panel stays the same: Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli. Expect the usual mix of blunt honesty, uplifting encouragement and that classic Simon “you’re terrible” moment. The host, Ant & Dec, will keep the backstage energy high, interviewing groups as they wait for their turn.
One new twist for 2025 is the “Wildcard Vote”. After each live round, the public can send an extra vote for an act that didn’t make the cut but still has a chance to return. It’s designed to keep fan favourites alive longer and gives smaller acts a second shot.
Live shows start in early June and run weekly on Saturday nights. Each episode runs about two hours, featuring three to four auditions, a celebrity guest performance, and a public voting window that stays open until the next episode. Make sure you have a stable internet connection if you plan to vote online – the results can swing by a few thousand votes.
For those who love the behind‑the‑scenes buzz, the official BGT YouTube channel posts daily clips from the green room, judge deliberations and rehearsal footage. It’s a great way to see how acts evolve from audition to semi‑final.
Finally, remember that Britain’s Got Talent isn’t just about winning. Many contestants land gigs, record deals or theatre contracts just by getting that one‑minute TV exposure. So whether you’re watching for fun or hoping to be the next big star, BGT 2025 offers something for everyone.
Stay tuned, keep the volume up, and enjoy the show – the talent is about to get serious.
The third semi-final of Britain's Got Talent 2025 brought unexpected turns as Ping Pong Pang won the public vote and Jasmine Rice snatched the Golden Buzzer, sending both to the finals. Audiences also enjoyed sharp judge feedback and standout guest acts, making for a night packed with surprises.
