Why isn't Britain's Got Talent on tonight? ITV show in major scheduling shake-up

Britain's Got Talent fans are set for a huge disappointment tonight as the talent show has been removed from the schedule in a huge shakeup.

The latest series has already introduced a number of changes, with the semi-finals taking place over a number of Saturday nights as opposed to the show airing on consecutive week nights. Plus, for the first time ever the , meaning each week one judge can put one act straight through to the final.

However, fans will have to wait an extra day to watch the fourth final as the show has been booted out of its usual slot. In a huge move by show bosses, it will miss out on primetime scheduling.

Instead, viewers will be tuning into ITV to watch the Final as Crystal Palace and Manchester City go head to head at Wembley. The football match kicks off at 3pm, but scheduling bosses have allowed for any run over time.

It means Saturday night telly will look very different at the match will be followed by Deal or No Deal Celebrity Special, Beat The Chasers, and The 1% Club, instead.

Britain's Got Talent will air its next live semi-final on Sunday from 7 to 9pm. The move also sees the show not have to compete with the final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The ITV talent show will conclude on Saturday 31 May as two more semi-finals will take place before then. This past weekend saw dance act Ping Pong Pang secured a spot in the final alongside drag queen opera singer Jasmine Rice.

The two acts will next perform in the 2025 final. Jasmine Rice received the Golden Buzzer vote from that put her straight into the final.

It meant Jasmine didn't need to go through the nail-biting results at the end of the show as she secured her spot straight after her show-stopping performance.

The other acts, however, had to wait until all the viewers votes had been counted to know their fate. Coming in last was danger man Bao, followed by musician Rumac. He had a though time on stage, having received buzzers from Bruno, Amanda and Alesha but managed to carry on performing.

Rumac was followed by Harry and Lewsi, Mickey Callisto, Albert Amores and Electric Umbrella. It meant dance group Ping Pong Pang had secured enough votes to send them into the final alongside Jasmine Rice.

The pair join Vinnie McKee (singer), The Blackouts (dance group), Stacey Leadbeatter (singer), Olly Pearson (guitarist) already in the final.

This weekend's scheduling move hasn't been the first of the series as Britain's Got Talent started in February this year rather than its usual April slot. And instead of a week of semi-finals, they are being spread out and shown on Saturday nights instead.

The upcoming final will see the last remaining BGT contestants hope to impress the judges and the public one last time for a chance to win £250,000 and a spot performing at the Royal Variety Performance.
