ITV1’s hit entertainment series, Britain’s Got Talent, will enter the next stage of the competition with the live semi final shows on Monday the 26th of May.

Hosted by Ant & Dec, and with Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden on the judging panel, each live 90 minute show will feature eight contestants from the previous audition shows who will each battle it out to win the public vote. Two contestants from each live semi final will then go through to the grand final - one act voted by the public and one act by the judges.

The worldwide success of last year’s winner Paul Potts has been staggering and truly caught the public’s attention with his version of Nessun Dorma which has now sold over 2 million albums globally and hit number one in fourteen countries. The winner this year again gets to walk away with £100,000 and the chance to perform for HRH The Prince of Wales at this year’s Royal Variety Performance.

Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals will air on ITV1 at the following times:

Monday 9pm
Tuesday 8.30pm
Wednesday 8.30pm
Thursday 8.30pm
Friday 9pm*
