ITV bosses have confirmed the date for the highly anticipated Britain's Got Talent 2025 final.
Running for a whopping two hours and 45 minutes, the Britain's Got Talent: Live Final gives fans the chance to vote for for a winner throughout the night.
Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli will be on hand to give their final thoughts — as will influencer KSI.
The Sun revealed KSI would be back for both the live semi-final and final.
When is the Britain's Got Talent: Live Final 2025?
The highly anticipated showpiece of Britain's Got Talent 2025 is officially scheduled to air on Saturday, 31st May.
The sensational spectacle will kick off at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
It marks the culmination of the show's 18th series, which featured a new format for both auditions and live shows.
BGT 2025's new schedule
This year's BGT started earlier than usual, with auditions commencing in February and live shows running weekly from late April.
Unlike previous years, where the semi-finals were broadcast on consecutive nights, the 2025 series spread its semi-finals across several weeks, each one airing on a Saturday evening.
This change allowed BGT to occupy an extended Saturday night slot throughout spring.

Road to the Live Final
The 2025 series introduced a significant twist: the Golden Buzzer was available during the semi-finals — not just the auditions.
Each night, a judge or hosts Ant & Dec could send one act directly to the final, bypassing the public vote.
Other finalists were determined by the public vote.
As of May 22, 2025, the confirmed finalists are:
Despite being voted out, Max Fox also dropped a big clue that he will make a surprise comeback in the final.

Following his elimination from the show, he wrote on Instagram: 'What a ride!
'Last night my Britain's Got Talent journey came to an end — but I've never felt prouder.
'From standing in the audience with a dream in my heart… to singing on that stage in front of millions, this experience has been nothing short of life-changing.
"I've waited 19 years for that moment — and every second of it was worth it.
'To everyone who voted, shared kind words, and believed in me — thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"Your support has meant more than you'll ever know.
'This might be the end of BGT for now… or maybe not — wildcard, anyone?'
The full list will be confirmed after the fifth semi-final, which takes place on Saturday, May 24, 2025 — a week before the final.
On May 31 we will see the remaining acts compete for the coveted crown of BGT champion.
The winner will receive a massive cash prize of £250,000, as well as the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.

The Chase star forced to give away comedy show tickets for FREE just days before hitting the stage
The ITV star surprised fans last year as she embarked on a new adventure UP FOR GRABS The Chase star forced to give away comedy show tickets for FREE just days before hitting the stage Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Chase star Jenny Ryan is giving away comedy show tickets for FREE just days before she takes to the stage. The quizmaster, 43, is set to appear at The Pleasance Theatre in London over multiple dates in July and August. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Jenny Ryan has been forced to give away free tickets to her comedy show in London Credit: Instagram/@jenny_from_the_quiz 2 The ITV star will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday Credit: Splash Jenny will be performing a special singalong comedy investigation all about Swedish pop group Abba. The descriptions says she will go "public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse". Tickets are usually priced around £15, but a number of tickets have been released for her July 5 show for no cost at all. Fans can bag themselves a free ticket to her one-hour show and will only need to pay a £4 admin fee. While those keen to be in the audience can also purchase a ticket for a little as £10, as stated on the website, depending on the day you go. Although fans may be able to secure themselves a bargain, a show insider said it's not highly unusual that free tickets are given away. A rep for the show told The Sun: "Often in hot weather for preview shows, if they're not completely sold out, it is standard practice to offer some complimentary tickets." Jenny will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday. Jenny, known to many as The Vixen from The Chase, surprised fans last year as she embarked on a new adventure. Jenny hit the road last September with her Out of the Box tour, which ran until November. Watch as The Chase's Jenny Ryan reveals new role away from ITV show At the time she shared her excitement and nerves about stepping away from her stern quizmaster persona with the new venture. Speaking to show host Ed Balls on GMB, Jenny explained: "We took the show to Edinburgh Fringe last year really on sort of a whim. "It's a big risk to take something like this, as presenters know, after a stern role and you try something new. "It's a bit of a challenge for people to change their expectations and perceptions of you." The former MP joked "Tell me about it!", referencing his segue from a political career into presenting. When Ranvir Singh suggested that Jenny might find it difficult to return to The Chase after opening up to audiences, she said: "Putting myself out there to show a softer side of me, putting everything out there, my background, everything… was a bit of a risk. "But we sold out [at the Fringe] and we got such excellent feedback."

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Billykiss went head-to-head with Meg tonight and fans are praising her Credit: Eroteme 4 Viewers said it was about time someone delivered some home truths to Meg Credit: Eroteme 4 Dejon tried to defend his relationship with Meg - despite fans calling him a 'game player' Credit: ITV 4 Yasmin picked Dejon as the 'least dedicated' Credit: ITV The aim of the game is for the Islanders to fly through the city, pair up with their Lois Lanes, and then lift and hold a steel girder overhead before picking up a newspaper with a headline. Together, the pairs had to decide which of the male Islanders they think have the most and least of that trait. Yasmin and Gio choose Dejon as the least dedicated. Yasmin explained her reasoning: 'I don't feel like you've dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience. "I hope you've only dedicated to getting to know one person…' Dejon remarked: 'I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman.' Yasmin continued: 'There's other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you…' Meg interjects: 'Well he clearly doesn't want her.' Billykiss: 'Well he didn't say that. He didn't say he didn't want me." Meg hit back: "It's not up to you guys, we will decide ourselves." Love Island fans hit out at Islander branding him 'fake' and insist he's 'using girl' to stay in the villa She then said to Dejon: 'You say you're open then when she's not around you don't act like you're closed.' Dejon reacted: 'I don't care about any of your opinions, I know what I want and that's Meg." Billykiss replied: "Well close things off, even on the date when I asked if you were open and you wanted to get to know me, you said yes." Dejon fired back: "Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what? "I don't understand why you're still going on.' After some choice words between her and Meg, the exchange ended with Billykiss told Dejon: 'You don't want to hear the truth which is why you're feeling sour.' Viewers were full of praise for Billykiss as she finally delivered some home truths to Meg and Dejon. One wrote: "PLEASE WE NEED TO VOTE MEG AND DEJON OFF PLEASE!!" A second posted: "Meg stfu and leave the villa, don't bring your bitchy attitude to billykiss she's only saying what everyone thinks." A third said: "They're clocking Dejon it's been a month, he's not closing things off with Meg and has his tongue out whenever a new bombshell comes in. Game player." A fourth commented: "Close it then Dejon!! Like she needs to close her big mouth when kissing you. You don't want her and you know it." Another said: "Billykiss say your truth!!! Dejon is there to win, close it off if you don't want anyone else!"
