These are the 8 acts in the 5th semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent 2026 tonight

The long-running ITV talent show returned for a 19th series in February, once again welcoming a wide array of performers.

Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and KSI all returned for another season, along with hosts Ant and Dec.

This year’s auditions once again unearthed some of the UK’s top talent, with a host of acts selected to continue through to the semi-finals.

After the first four semi-finals, six acts have made it through to the final so far, but who will be joining them?

Who are the 8 acts performing on Britain’s Got Talent tonight?

The eight acts performing in tonight’s fifth live BGT semi-final are:

  • Baron & Vesper – Stunt act
  • Celestial – Drone art
  • The Hawkstone Farmers Choir – Choir group
  • Jake Banfield – Magician
  • James Miller – Singer
  • Juan Carlos – Dancer
  • Mr. Cherry – Stunt act
  • SOS! – Boyband

In each semi-final episode, there is one golden buzzer available, which can be pressed only by the chosen judge or guest judge that week.

The golden buzzer sends one act straight through to the final.

The only other way to make it through is to top the public vote at the end of the night.

When is Britain’s Got Talent on tonight?

Tonight’s semi-final will air at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

The episode will end at 9pm and will be followed by a new reality game show, Nobody’s Fool, hosted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack.
