Britain's Got Talent Confirms Extended Live Final May 31

ITV has confirmed that the Britain's Got Talent 2025 live grand finale will air on Saturday, May 31, starting at 7pm and running for an extended two hours and 45 minutes. This marks the conclusion of the show's 18th series, which began earlier than usual in February and featured a new format spreading semi-finals across several weeks with a Golden Buzzer twist during the live shows. The final will see the remaining acts, including confirmed finalists like Jasmine Rice, Vinnie McKee, Stacey Leadbeatter, and others, competing for a £250,000 prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance, with judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge KSI providing their final assessments. The extended runtime is similar to last year's finale, promising a spectacular and lengthy broadcast event at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London. The season has had notable moments including Max Fox's dramatic audition outburst and his potential surprise return in the finale as a wildcard. Fans can watch the finale on ITV1 and ITVX, continuing the tradition of Saturday night entertainment but with a fresh scheduling approach this year.
