Who is in the BGT 2025 final?
BRITAIN’S Got Talent 2025 has already seen a shedload of soon-to-be stars wow the judges, hoping to go all the way and take to the stage at the Royal Variety Performance.
The first flurries of fantastic finalists have already been confirmed. Here’s everything you need to know about them.
Vinnie McKee
Vinnie McKee is a singer-songwriter from Liverpool who works as a bingo caller when he’s not performing.
His audition received a standing ovation, with his soulful voice quickly making him a fan favourite.
Simon Cowell even jumped up and pressed the Golden Buzzer during his rendition of I’m Gonna Be by The Proclaimers — the first time it was pressed this series.
In the first live semi-final, Vinnie’s emotional rendition of Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars resonated with both the audience and the judges, securing him the top spot through the public vote.
Commenting on his performance, Simon said: “I absolutely love that version. You’ve got this beautiful semi-classical voice.
“This is the sort of moment I love, when somebody has waited for something all their lives to be given an opportunity.”
The Blackouts
Swedish dance group The Blackouts have stunned spectators with their innovative routines blending high-energy choreography, acrobatics, precision dance moves and cutting-edge LED technology.
During the auditions they impressed judges Simon, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon so much that they all pressed the Golden Buzzer at once.
During the semi-finals, Amanda was so blown away by their creativity and technical skill that she gave them the golden treatment once again, sending them directly to the final.
Olly Pearson
Olly Pearson is an 11-year-old guitarist from Manchester who has charmed the judges and audience alike.
Despite his tender age, his guitar playing displays a level of maturity and technical proficiency that is rare even among seasoned musicians.
His semi-final performance was a medley of songs including AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, Guns And Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine and Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer.
Simon reached for the Golden Buzzer to ensure Olly’s place in the final, after Amanda had done the same at the audition stage.
Olly said getting to the final of the ITV show was the “coolest thing in my life”.
Stacey Leadbeatter
Supermarket worker Stacey Leadbeatter from Yorkshire rounds out the list of finalists so far.
The singer impressed the judges so much in her audition that she received the Golden Buzzer from YouTube star KSI after the audience practically demanded that someone did.
In the second semi-final, Stacey’s moving rendition of Leona Lewis’ version of Snow Patrol’s Run struck a chord with viewers, earning her the majority of the public vote and a well-deserved spot in the final.
As the semi-finals continue on ITV1 at 7pm on Saturday, May 10, 2025, more acts will join these fab four acts in the show’s final.
