Britain’s Got Talent will return for 2024… (Image credit: ITV)
Britain’s Got Talent 2024 sees hopefuls from up and down the country taking to the stage in the hopes that they’ll impress the judges and win a spot at the Royal Variety Performance.
Not only that but there’s a £250,000 prize at stake too. This life-changing sum of money will be awarded to whichever act impresses the judges and viewers at home and joins the coveted Britain’s Got Talent winners list.
This will be the 17th season for the beloved talent show, which has seen some huge winners such as comedian Lee Ridley, dance troupe Diversity, and dog trick act Ashleigh and Pudsey.
Outside of this, we also saw a spin-off called Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician in 2023 which invited back some spellbinding magicians to compete to win the title, with Eric Chien being crowned winner.
Now, brand new acts will appear on the famous stage before the panel and do everything they can to impress.
Here’s what we know about Britain’s Got Talent 2024 so far…
Britain’s Got Talent 2024 final date
The Britain’s Got Talent final is on Sunday, June 2 at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
Previous episodes can also be watched via ITVX.
Britain’s Got Talent 2024 judges
The judging panel has stayed the same as Britain’s Got Talent 2023, with Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell returning to cast their judgement over the new performers.
Britain’s Got Talent Golden Buzzers
The first episode also saw our first Golden Buzzers, with Alesha choosing to send through 8-year-old Ravi, who delivered a showstopping performance of A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman as part of his group, Ravi’s Dream Team.
Elsewhere, Sydnie Christmas got Amanda’s Golden Buzzer for her rendition of Tomorrow from the musical Annie. So both of these acts have been fast tracked to the live shows.
In an exclusive interview with What to Watch, Sydnie revealed: “It doesn’t seem like it happened because it happened so quick. One minute, the judges are talking to me, and I was just trying to concentrate on what they were saying, then the next minute, this big, loud noise went off and I realised what had happened. I was in total shock – but happy shock.
On April 27, Simon also used his Golden Buzzer for the Japanese dance group Cyberagent Legit who have all been dancing together since they were four years old. Speaking about hitting the buzzer, he said: “Amazing! That was fantastic, that was my favourite act of the day actually. Really, really, really good.”
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will resume hosting duties on Britain’s Got Talent 2024, having presented the series since the very beginning.
The duo recently announced that they were taking a break from Saturday Night Takeaway after this year’s season, to focus on other projects and spend more time with their families.
Ant told us: “We just thought it was the perfect time with series 20. It seemed a natural point to take a pause. We have rested Takeaway in the past and reaching series 20 felt like it was a good time to take a break and look at how we want the show to look in the future.
“You can’t reimagine it in a different way when you’re in it. So we wanted to come away for a bit and see how we felt. First and foremost we just needed a bit of a break from it.”
It is expected they will be focusing on Britain’s Got Talent and the next season of I’m a Celebrity.
Britain’s Got Talent auditions
Auditions took place in February, with Salford Now reporting about people queuing for them on February 6.
They revealed they spoke to someone called Charlotte Booth, who said: “My daughter is performing today as part of a group. They are cheerleaders from Coventry Dynamite, while the 13-18 age group is called Lady Grenades.
“They are a group of 24 young ladies, they are all under 18 and the you group is 13. They are going to Florida in April to complete in the Cheering Worlds.”
We don’t have information about any of the other acts at present, but we’ll be meeting plenty of them when the series kicks off on ITV!
