Britain's Got Talent is set to return to ITV this weekend for the first live semi-final of the series. Eight acts will take to the stage to perform for the judges and compete for the public vote.

Exciting Line-Up
Tonight (April 26), magicians, singers, and dancers will all be featured as the official line-up has now been confirmed. A hefty £250,000 cash prize is up for grabs, along with a spot on the bill of the Royal Variety Performance. The acts are not only competing for the public vote but also for the judges' or Ant and Dec's Golden Buzzer, which will send the act straight through to the final. Only two of the eight acts will make it through.
