Britain’s Got Talent fans have been loving the return of ITV’s flagship talent show – but they’ll have to go without this Saturday night.

The long-running variety show, which started in 2007, came back earlier than ever in 2025 but is absent from ITV’s primetime line-up tonight.

So far, thrills and spills from BGT 2025 have come in the form of Simon Cowell nearly being killed by a sledgehammer and fans thinking they’ve found the next Susan Boyle.

Judges Simon, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and Amanda Holden have been treated to some stellar (and some not so stellar) auditions so far, with six Golden Buzzers handed out.

And fans absolutely loved the guest judge appearance of YouTuber KSI, who stood in for Bruno during the talent show’s auditions in Blackpool.
