BGT'S much anticipated live semi finals are returning to our screens after a two-year wait.
There is plenty of talent lined up to impress the Britain's Got Talent judges, including the golden buzzer acts.
Who is through to the semi finals of Britain's Got Talent?
Variety acts from up and down the country have been auditioned by the BGT panel and are ready to take on the live shows.
The judges this year are made up of music mogul Simon Cowell, pop star Alisha Dixon, comedian David Walliams and actress Amanda Holden.
Viewers were left in suspense as the judges deliberated which acts should go through to the semi-finals – but didn't reveal their decisions.
Joining the Golden Buzzer acts will be performers who made it through the second stage of the show on Saturday, May 28.

- London Community Gospel Choir – This choir won over the judges with their medley of Love Train by The O’Jays and Anytime You Need a Friend by Mariah Carey.
- Jamie Leahey – Ventriloquist Jamie and his puppet Chuck amazedAlesha who couldn't believe he was just 13-years-old.
- Maxwell Thorpe – Amanda Holden was moved to tears during Maxwell's rendition of Caruso.
- Suzi Wild – Impressionist Suzi jumped from the Queen to Lorraine Kelly in her hilarious audition.
- The Witch – Spooky magician the Witch terrified Alesha but their identity is unknown and much speculated.
- Junwoo – Another magician with a less terrifying act is Junwoo whose sleight of hand would have won a golden buzzer from Ant and Dec if they hadn't already used theirs.
The Golden Buzzer acts are:
- Loren Allred – The classical singer was the first act to receive the Golden Buzzer. She was selected by Amanda Holden after her performance of 'Never enough.'
- Axel Blake – Head judge Simon Cowell hit the buzzer after Axel left the panel in hysterics after his comical stand-up routine.
- Born To Perform – Children's dance trouped BTP wowed David Walliams so much with their Hairspray routine that he awarded him his Golden Buzzer.
- Flintz and Taylor – Alesha Dixon chose the musical duo who met during lockdown for her Golden Buzzer act.
- Keiichi Iwasaki – Presenters Ant and Dec stormed the stage to award their Golden Buzzer to magician Keiichi.
How does the golden buzzer work?
Although most acts can expect to receive feedback and a yes or no vote from the judges, special acts might receive the Golden Buzzer opportunity.
Once per series each judge can catapult an act straight to the semi-finals with the Golden Buzzer.
Presenters Ant and Dec also have one opportunity to award a Golden Buzzer and guarantee their favourite act a spot in the semis.
