What talents will the BGT acts be performing?

It has been a while since the BGT auditions first began - and when they ended. Starting way back in February, the ITV series has been on for months now and you may have forgotten what talents each of the acts do.

Albert Amores - acrobatics

The 18-year-old from Spain who wowed the judges during the auditions with his spectacular skills. He started by being lifted into the air above the stage before pulling off some jawdropping acrobatics.

Bao Cuong - danger act

It wouldn’t be a BGT semi-final without an act that you definitely shouldn’t try at home. The Vietnamese performer swallowed a flaming sword during his audition - what could he possibly do to up the stakes tonight?

Electric Umbrella - choir

This choir - which ages in range from 5 to 66 - were one of the golden buzzer acts during the auditions. During the auditions they performed an original song - will they have another up their sleeves?

Harry & Lewis - dancers

Duo Harry and Lewis impressed the judges with their dance routine in the audition stage. They are aiming to “make a difference” in the dancing world, they told the judges on their last performance.

Jasmine Rice - singer

Another act who has travelled from across the world to take part in BGT 2025. Jasmine Rice is a drag queen and opera singer - she served stunning vocals in the auditions.

Mickey Callisto - singer

Next up will be another singer, Mickey from Sunderland took on one of Queen’s iconic bangers in the audition stage - and really showed off his vocal range. But what will be attempted this weekend?

Ping Pong Pang - dance group

This dance troupe from Italy impressed in the auditions with their mix of dance and ping pong. Will they be serving up another successful routine tonight?

RuMac - singer/ accordionist

Finishing the night will be 32-year-old RuMac from Sunderland. He played ‘Yes Sir, I Can Boogie’ in his audition - what will he have up his sleeve for the semi-final.
