BGT reveals two more acts for live final as Viggo Venn and Olivia Lynes join line-up

Britain's Got Talent has confirmed two more finalists ahead of the 2023 finale, as the second semi-final came to a close on Tuesday night.

Viggo Venn and Olivia Lynes were the two acts revealed to have made it through after a public vote and a judges vote.

Tuesday night’s bill saw dancers Yo Highness, Nathan & Joanne and comedic act Viggo Venn all take to the stage one more time.

Joining them were singers Johns’ Boys, Olivia Lynes, Lewis Fuller and Tia Connolly, and daredevil Andrew Stanton.

But only two acts were able to go through for the big final this coming Sunday, while all eight acts pulled out all the stops to get there.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were on hand for proceedings as ever, as they confirmed the top three acts of the night, before announcing who had made it through.

First to be confirmed for the final was comedy and dance act Viggo, who shared his love for Hi Vis jackets - before getting everyone on their feet.

Despite not impressing everyone during the first audition, the act won the judges over this time as Alesha and Simon both confessed they loved his act.

The judges even claimed it was the best act of the night, and were thrilled when he made it through to the final based on the public vote.

Olivia then had to face fellow top three act Johns’ Boys, a choir group, as the judges were asked to choose which act to send through.

While Bruno saved Johns’ Boys, Simon, Amanda and Alesha all picked young singer Olivia which left her in tears.

Ant and Dec rushed to praise the youngster, before she and Viggo reunited on stage after both winning a place in the final.

It comes after two hopefuls were confirmed to be the first 2023 finalists on Monday, as dancer Musa Motha and singer Amy Lou won the first Britain's Got Talent semi-final of the series.

The duo will now be joined by the latest winners of semi-final number two, with their thought to be 10 acts in total who will compete.

Talented dancer Musa, 27, was sent straight through to the final by viewers, so it went down to the judges' vote.

Ukelele musician and school teacher Abi Carter-Simpson and sunbed receptionist-turned-singer Amy Lou went up against one another.

As the judges struggled to decide, it went to the public vote and Amy Lou came second in the public vote.

Among those who also performed on the night included Gamal John, 36, who wowed the judges with his rendition of James Brown classic It's A Man's Man's World at his audition.

Sadly the amazing singer didn’t reach the top three, despite many viewers believing he could win the show.

Britain's Got Talent's live semi-finals air all this week at 8PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
