Eva Abley

The 14-year-old comedian got a standing ovation from the audience and all four judges during her first audition, where she made jokes about living with cerebral palsy. The young star has since taken the competition by storm with stand-up routines taking aim at the likes of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and judge Simon Cowell.

Loren Allred

Loren Allred wowed audiences in her audition as she belted out Never Enough - the song that she is famous for singing in 2018 hit film The Greatest Showman. Despite her voice being heard around the world, the American-born star said that she wanted to step out from her usual behind-the-scenes singing role - and judge Amanda Holden sent her straight through to semi-finals by hitting the Golden Buzzer.

Tom Ball

Music and drama teacher Tom was called an “inspiration” by Alesha Dixon after leaving the audience and judges stunned by his rendition of Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall, the theme of James Bond flick Spectre. The talented 24-year-old has since become one of the favourites to win the competition, earning himself a place in the final after a powerful performance of Conchita Wurst’s Eurovision hit Rise Like A Phoenix.

Axel Blake

The 33-year-old comedian was another Golden Buzzer act, with Simon Cowell being the one to hit the button after being left in stitches by Axel’s stand-up routine. A property maintenance worker from London, Axel's semi-final performance had the audience roaring with laughter as he cracked jokes about the everyday struggles of relationships and commuting.

This musical duo were Alesha Dixon’s Golden Buzzer act, with the judge becoming moved by Flintz’ original song about getting in with the wrong crowd. The rising stars, aged just 22 and 17, met via Instagram during the Covid-19 lockdown and ended up writing a song together despite living in different cities - the first day they met in person was at their BGT audition, where they blew the judges away with Flintz performing the rap that he wrote himself accompanied by T4ylor on the piano.

Aneeshwar Kunchala

The youngest of this year’s BGT finalists, seven-year-old Aneeshwar was dubbed a “mini David Attenborough” after performing a poem about saving the planet in his first audition. The young conservationist continued with his passionate message in the semi-final, imploring the audience to help save the animals by changing their ways.

Jamie Leahey

13-year-old ventriloquist Jamie made it to the final with his cheeky chicken friend Chuck, leaving the audience in stitches with his comedy routine and rendition of Me And My Shadow by The Rat Pack. The talented young star taught himself how to be a ventriloquist during lockdown after his grandma bought him a monkey puppet.

Ben Nickless

Ben impressed the judges by pulling off 20 different impressions in just one minute at his audition. The semi-final saw the impressionist trying his hand at what various stars would sound like if they sang The Greatest Showman hit This Is Me, including Gary Barlow, Piers Morgan, Joe Wicks and BGT presenters Ant and Dec.

5 Star Boys

These five young schoolboys took to the stage to “spread the word for boys who dance” after being bullied due to their talent. Adam, Beau, Joey, Ollie and Toby-Jay left the judges in tears with their dance performance, and continued their moving anti-bullying message in the semi-finals by dancing to This Is Me.

Maxwell Thorpe

The 32-year-old Sheffield star was a busker for ten years before being encouraged by his friends and family to audition. Despite being “very nervous” Maxwell blew judges away by belting out opera classic Caruso, and viewers were left with goosebumps after his semi-final rendition of Now We Are Free.

Judges will also pick one extra wildcard act from the series to compete in the final alongside the other ten performers, with the surprise eleventh act set to be announced on Sunday.
