After a week of rowdy semi-finals, we have our Britain’s Got Talent 2024 finalists.
The past five nights have seen all kinds of weird and wonderful acts take to the stage in front of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli, all hoping to secure a place in Sunday’s grand final and inch closer to winning.
Alas, there wasn’t room for everyone.
Friday night’s live semi-final added two more to the bill, completing the final and promising a proper spectacle this weekend, with the competition tight.
Comedian Alex Mitchell and magician Trixy join the other successful performers, beating fellow semi-finalists Gambino Akuboy, AmaSing, Denise and Stefan, Messoudi Brothers, The Dark Hero and CyberAgent Legit.

Singer and pianist duo Denise and Stefan did find themselves in the top three, however, only Bruno voted to put them through, with the other judges siding with Trixy.
Free from that agonising wait, however, was teaching assistant Alex, who won tonight’s semi with the most public votes, sending him straight through.
The final now also consists of: Abigail & Afronita, Northants Sings Out, Jack Rhodes, Haribow, Innocent Masuku, Ssaulabi Performance Troupe, Mike Woodhams, and Sydnie Christmas.
In his winning stand-up performance, Alex, who was diagnosed with a neurological condition a year ago, poked fun at his autism and his tics.
‘If me being here tonight proves anything, if you’ve ever felt slightly written off, slightly like you don’t fit, like the world doesn’t have a place for you – tonight you are seen and you are valid,’ he told the audience.
‘Love will always win,’ the Leeds-based comic added.
Magician Trixy, who works as a traffic light engineer from south London, wowed everyone as he performed a mathematics trick and brought out 2023 Britain’s Got Talent contestant ‘naked man’ Tonikaku for a surprise reveal.
The last semi-final show also saw a live performance from judge Alesha.
