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.

I removed breast implants after terrifying cancer scare, reveals This Morning's Josie Gibson as she tells of her ordeal
THIS Morning star Josie Gibson has revealed she went through a terrifying cancer scare after finding a large lump in her breast. She discovered it was related to one of her breast implants and had them both removed. 4 Talking about the 2023 ordeal for the first time, Josie, 40, told the Sun on Sunday: 'I had a big lump underneath my left boob and I was getting really worried about it. 'You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened. 'So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I've done.' Josie, a regular presenter on the ITV show, had a breast enhancement operation in 2013 to take her from a B cup to a DD. But she has no regrets about having them removed ten years on, insisting she now has 'peace of mind'. It has inspired Josie to join forces with tombola bingo and charity Breast Cancer Now for their new 'eyes down, check up' campaign. Josie has been busy pounding the streets for the campaign, which aims to raise awareness of symptoms and changes to watch out for, as well as raise up to £1million for charity. She said: 'We only ever talk about breast cancer when something bad happens. Let's make it part of the conversation.' Josie, who launched diet website Slimmables in 2015, is also now busy renovating her £1.1million home outside Bath, living in a caravan on site. And the star, who found fame on Big Brother in 2010, revealed the stress of the project has left her going grey. Tombola in Partnership with Breast Cancer Now She said: 'Basically, I've just made my life a lot more stressful. Put it this way, I've been dying my hair.' Hands-on Josie is getting stuck into the renovation with the help of family and pals and jokes: 'I've been doing so much manual labour, I have embraced my inner bloke.' The single mum to Reggie, six, has apple trees on the property and even hopes to make her own cider. She jokes that Jeremy Clarkson, who produces his own Hawkstone Cider, better watch out, adding: 'It's a cider off, Clarkson!' The process will be documented in the proud Bristolian's upcoming ITV series Josie's Taste of the West Country. To find out more about the campaign, visit If you're worried about breast cancer, speak to expert nurses now by calling Breast Cancer Now's free helpline on 0808 800 6000. 4 What are the signs of breast cancer? BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer. If it's treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, but it's always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following: a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood) a lump or swelling in either of your armpits dimpling on the skin of your breasts a rash on or around your nipple a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast Source: NHS 4

We're always separate, you know."
