Britain's Got Talent 2025 Returns February 22 with KSI as Guest Judge

Britain's Got Talent (BGT) is set to return for its 18th series on February 22, 2025, marking a significant schedule change as it will launch earlier than usual and run for approximately three months. This season features judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge KSI, alongside hosts Ant and Dec. The live shows will now be spread out over the traditional Saturday night schedule rather than condensed into a single week of semi-finals, allowing for a more extended viewing experience. Simon Cowell emphasized the importance of audience engagement, referring to them as the 'fifth judge,' and shared reflections on the show's enduring appeal and the diverse talents it showcases. Contestants will compete for a £250,000 cash prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance, with hopes of receiving a coveted Golden Buzzer that guarantees progression to the live semi-finals. This milestone 18th season aims to captivate audiences with a mix of emotional performances and spectacular displays of talent.
