Here's a look at who will be competing in the final The judges have a big decision to make tonight. (Image: WireImage ) It's finally time for this year's Britain's Got Talent final, and after three months of auditions and semi finals the line-up has now been revealed. This year's panel of judges, including Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge KSI have had a challenging task selecting the finalists from a plethora of talented acts vying for a spot in the grand finale on tonight, Saturday, 31 May. The victorious act will walk away with a hefty £250,000 cash prize, an opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, the prestigious title of Britain's Got Talent Winner 2025, and of course, significant bragging rights. Guest judge KSI is even set to return for tonight's show, this time as a special guest performer. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter This year's final promises a diverse range of talent, from magicians to dancers. So, who has made it through to the final? BGT Finalists The Blackouts Olly Pearson Jasmine Rice Joseph Charm Harry Moulding Vinnie McKee Stacey Leadbeatter Ping Pong Pang Hear Our Voice choir Binita Content cannot be displayed without consent According to reports, this year's competition is incredibly tight, with very little separating the top two favourite acts - the Hear Our Voice choir and The Blackouts. Kayley Cornelius from Betfred has hinted at a nail-biter, asserting: "Looking at the current odds, it's only a matter of percentages separating the top two favourite acts, suggesting it's going to be a really tight race to see who is crowned this year's winner. At 15/8, Hear Our Voice are just clinging on to the favourite spot, but only just. Telling their emotional story through the power of song, their harmonies have struck a strong chord with viewers at home, and the emotional vote could ultimately sway things in their favour." Article continues below She added, casting light on shifting dynamics, "However, it's worth noting that up until this week, The Blackouts were the unwavering favourites in the betting markets, and now perched just behind at 2/1, a strong performance on Saturday night could still see them walk away as winners!". The grand finale of Britain's Got Talent will be live tonight, May 31, and enthusiasts can tune in from 7pm on ITV1 or stream it on ITV X.

‘The Legend Of Zelda' Movie May Land A Perfectly Cast Princess, Per Report
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 20: Hunter Schafer attends the HBO Max FYC event for 'Euphoria' at ... More Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 20, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/WireImage) It remains to be seen where Wes Ball's upcoming Legend of Zelda movie is a good idea at baseline, but now a casting search appears to be spooling up for its major roles, including the titular princess. A new report from inside DanielRPK reveals that a specific actress is being eyed for the role, one that social media fans were theory-casting even before this news broke. That would be Euphoria's Hunter Schafer. As soon as the movie was announced, side-by-side comparisons started emerging about how perfectly she would fit into the role. Now, the film may have taken that to heart and may be pursuing the star. Schafer first rose to prominence in Euphoria, the controversial HBO teen drama that is finally filming its third season after a lengthy break, Schafer included. Since then, she's appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness and the horror film Cuckoo. She's about to star in the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 series and has 5-6 other projects on the way. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess It is not yet clear which game story is being adapted for The Legend of Zelda movie, one that many were surprised was going to be live-action at all, given what Nintendo did with the massively profitable Super Mario Bros. movie. It feels like a big risk, but much of this will come down to casting. It's easy to see Schaefer as a good Zelda, but the key role will be Link, a character who barely, if ever, speaks in the games, and it's going to be very interesting to see how that aspect is handled. Here's what Zelda superfan and the film's director Wes Ball said about the project to Totalfilm back in March of 2024: "I have this awesome idea," Ball said. "I've been thinking about it for a long freakin' time, of how cool a Zelda movie would be... I want to fulfill people's greatest desires. I know it's important, this [Zelda] franchise, to people and I want it to be a serious movie. A real movie that can give people an escape." So, this seems to be pitched as high fantasy rather than the more cartoony versions of the game we've seen. And that makes a lot of sense for live-action. I hope we hear more about the film soon, and if it's confirmed that Schafer will play Zelda? That would be a great start. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Florence Pugh plays health worker on the brink in Yungblud's new music video First-look photos from the music video, being released at 4pm on Friday, show Pugh's character, who is dealing with grief and exhaustion, wearing a set of angel wings Florence Pugh (Image: Dave Benett/WireImage ) Oscar-nominated actress Florence Pugh stars as a health worker on the brink in a music video for Yungblud's latest single – Zombie. First-look photos from the music video, being released at 4pm on Friday, show Pugh's character, who is dealing with grief and exhaustion, wearing a set of angel wings. Singer Yungblud said: "The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. "It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment." He added, "We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f****** scary." The music star, 27, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, treated fans to a preview of his track at a surprise gig in London in March. Zombie is the third single he has released from his forthcoming fourth studio album, Idols, out on June 20. The singer, known for songs including I Think I'm Okay, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, and Fleabag, is also known for creating BludFest, which offers cheaper tickets compared to many other UK music festivals. Article continues below The singer has had two number one albums in the UK chart with Weird!, in 2020, and his self-titled album in 2022. Earlier in the year, he received the disruptor of the year award at the Nordoff and Robbins Northern Music Awards, held in Liverpool. Pugh, 29, who is known for her roles in Little Women (2019), Don't Worry Darling (2022), and Dune: Part Two (2024), previously appeared in Rachel Chinouriri's music video for Never Need Me.

Royal bride reveals the most ‘disgusting' part about her wedding, says husband ‘still gets upset about it'
'Disgusting.' That's not a word you hear too often when it comes to the royal family unless it's some anonymous Windsor source huffing down a Bakelite phone about Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's latest home shopping network juicer side-hustle. Advertisement That or someone has left oat milk in the palace fridge again. But not today with a royal bride having come out and given a shockingly (and wonderfully) candid interview, revealing she didn't pick out her own wedding dress, knew very few people at the reception, and even admitted that there was one detail she found 'disgusting.' 6 This week, Sophie Winkleman, who is also Lady Frederick Windsor, has given a new interview and admitted some wonderfully indiscreet details about her own royal wedding. WireImage Everyone says a polite hello to Sophie Winkleman, who is also Lady Frederick Windsor, and while she might not be a household name in Australia, she is very much in the royal bosom. Advertisement Back before it was restricted to working members of the royal maily, she used to be able to be spotted the Buckingham Palace balcony, and these days you are likely to spy her having a jolly old time of it with 'dear friend' King Charles in the royal box at Ascot or doing her bit to support Kate, The Princess of Wales' annual Christmas concert. Extra points if you knew her daughter, Maud Windsor, used to be in the same London class as Prince George and was a bridesmaid at Princess Eugenie's wedding. 6 Lord Freddie Windsor poses with his bride Sophie Winkleman in the Base Court, after their wedding in the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace on September 12, 2009, in Richmond upon Thames, England. PA Images via Getty Images Specifically, Sophie is married to Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and the King's second cousin, and while Freddie is so far down the line of succession you have to squint at number 54, but still, the couple are very much in the titled thick of it. Advertisement (Lord Frederick was 17th in line when he was born.) This week, Sophie, who also happens to be a working actress, has given a new interview and admitted some wonderfully indiscreet details about her own royal wedding. The year was 2009, long before the Windsors would 'welcome' another TV gal into their midst, and with Prince William yet to pop the question to long-time squeeze Kate Middleton, what the UK needed was a royal wedding. Advertisement A guest list was assembled about the length of an abridged copy of Burke & Peerage, Hampton Court Palace was rightfully booked for the affair, and various HRHs were assembled (Princess Eugenie, the Duke and Duchess of Kent). However, now Sophie has admitted that there was a part of the day she found 'disgusting.' Speaking to the Telegraph this week, she said: 'It was such a blur because we had to move to Los Angeles the day after and I had to start a brand new job the day after that…I'd been so concentrating on the work that I hadn't thought about the wedding.' Enter unto the breach her future mother-in-law and longtime Buckingham Palace balcony stalwart Princess Michael of Kent, who 'sort of took it all over,' said Sophie. 'I actually didn't mind at all. I thought, 'Great, do everything''. The end result, based on photos, is of a frou-frou-y affair that even diehard Cinderella-stans might have considered OTT; 'fairytale' was never going to be used as an adjective. In the cold light of 2025, Sophie does not sound exactly enamoured of all that bugle-beaded 'everything'. 'My hair was so disgusting, and Freddy still gets upset about it. It was just disgusting. And my mother-in-law chose my dress, which was very sweet and puffy, but I looked barking,' she told the Telegraph. Advertisement 6 'My hair was so disgusting, and Freddy still gets upset about it. It was just disgusting. And my mother-in-law chose my dress, which was very sweet and puffy, but I looked barking,' she said. Getty Images 'I look back on it and think I should have worn a simpler dress, and I should have got my hair blow-dried by someone who'd done it before'. This is not the first time that deliciously unfiltered Sophie has pulled back the curtain on her Windsor nuptials and what goes into planning a royal hitchin.' 'I didn't know anyone at my wedding. I had my best pals there, but basically it was full of faces I'd never seen before,' she told Tatler in December last year. Advertisement During that same interview, she enthused about Princess Michael having 'brilliantly' 'taken full personal charge' of the 400-person event and said, 'I was so determined not to be a bridezilla, I didn't even work out my hairstyle and I cannot tell you how disgusting it looked.' Coming up the aisle, the first thing I said when I saw Freddie was, 'I'm so sorry about the hair.'' He said, 'Yes, what on earth have you done?'' Advertisement While the Sussexes have hardly been tight-lipped about what a rough trot Meghan had joining Crown Inc., Sophie has only ever raved about her extended in-laws. She told Tatler last year: 'Behind the camera, they're really fun, clever, kind people…I love Catherine and William, but they're so busy and don't live in London, so I don't see them much.' Meanwhile, Charles 'is a very dear friend.' 'I spend a bit of time with him,' she told the Times in 2020. Advertisement 'You see how he works all day long, has a quick supper, and then disappears until about 4 am to write letters. 6 Frederick Windsor and Sophie Winkleman arrive for the Lord Mayor's reception for the National Service of Thanksgiving at The Guildhall on June 03, 2022, in London, England. Getty Images 'He cares about so many things, and he comes up with brilliant solutions. 'I've been incredibly welcomed with open arms by all of them. I haven't had a single negative experience. 'They'd never tell me off at all if I wanted to play some [racy] role. Everyone's looked after me.' And she means that quite literally. 6 Lady Sophie Windsor, Queen Camilla, King Charles III, and Lord Frederick Windsor watch the racing from the Royal Box as they attend day 5 of Royal Ascot 2023 at Ascot Racecourse on June 24, 2023, in Ascot, England. Getty Images The late Queen and Charles both offered practical support after Sophie broke her back in a 2017 car crash, as she thought she was 'a goner.' After the accident, Charles (then the Prince of Wales) tasked his Clarence House cook to provide Freddie and Sophie's family with twice-a-day meals, 'for weeks on end . . . It was life-saving.' Then, during her recuperation, Queen Elizabeth suggested a solution to help her manage the pain of rehab. Keep up with today's most important news Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.

She told us that when horses had broken backs, they swam, and so she let me use her pool at Buckingham Palace. 'That's the reason I got better. It was so typically thoughtful.' Blimey. The Palace pool. 'Disgusting' hair. Looking 'barking.' 6 Lord Frederick Windsor and Sophie Windsor, with Maud Windsor and Isabella Windsor, attend the 'Together At Christmas' Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 6, 2024, in London, England. Samir Hussein/WireImage It would be remiss of me here not to play a quick game of Sussex Subbing. What if all of this had come out of Meghan's mouth instead? Imagine a lit match going off in a fireworks factory built on top of an oil refinery. Kablooey. There is a lesson in all of this for any Cinderella-ish aspirants. Don't overlook the very clear benefits to being wed to No. 54 rather than anyone in the single digits, of marrying far farther down the royal rung. Just think, all the invitations to Ascot and Westminster Abbey, none of the wing-clipping self-sacrifices of senior royaldom, and the occasional chance to do a lap in the palace pool.
