Which acts are in the first Britain’s Got Talent 2019 semi-final?

It’s that time of year again in which Britain’s Got Talent takes over your TV screens for the entire week – as the 2019 live semi-finals begin.

Saturday night’s show saw the 40 acts which have made it through to this year’s live shows revealed, following an intense amount of deliberation from the judges.

Each semi-final will see two acts make it to the final on Sunday 2 June – the winner of that night’s public vote, followed by one act chosen by the judges from the next two most popular.

And among those who will be performing across the week include this year’s five Golden Buzzer acts – Flakefleet Primary School Choir, Kojo Anim, Akshat Singh, Giorgia Borg and Chapter 13.

Two of them will be competing in Monday night’s show – but who will be joining them in their bid to win a place in the final?

Here’s who you’ll be watching – and voting for – on Monday night.

Dave and Finn

Policeman Dave Wardell and his heroic dog Finn – who saved his life and almost lost his own in the process – reduced Simon Cowell and a fair few viewers to tears when they appeared earlier in the series. Will their canine mind-reading act land them in the final?

Flakefleet Primary School – GOLDEN BUZZER

The first Golden Buzzer of the series, David Walliams hit the magic button for Flakefleet Primary and their headteacher Dave McPartlin, who wowed everybody with their literal reworking of Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now – costumes, props and all. Walliams called their act ‘one of the most joyous things I’ve ever seen’, after breaking down in tears watching them.

Brian Gilligan

Singer Brian Gilligan tugged at a fair few heartstrings earlier in the series with his emotional rendition of Lady Gaga’s I’ll Never Love Again. He’s no stranger to the West End stage, but how will he fare on the Britain’s Got Talent semi-final stage?

The Haunting

In a series which has had no shortage of impressive magicians, Elizabeth Best – the brains behind this seriously creepy act – succeeded in scaring the living daylights out of Amanda Holden and everybody else with her haunted theatre illusion in the first show of the series. Our nerves have only just recovered in time to see what she has in store for us this time.

KNE

Dance troupe KNE had everybody fooled in the final auditions show of the series this weekend, with member Kyle initially appearing to be a singer and pianist before other dancers appeared for a high energy routine. What will they bring us in the live shows?

Rosie and Adam

One of the more daring acts of the series, rollerskating duo Rosie and Adam showed off some impressive acrobatics and dance moves on wheels earlier in the series – winning a well-deserved semi-final place.

Tony Rudd

BGT doesn’t have too many impressionists this year but this one made enough of an impression (ahem) to make it through to the live shows. Tony Rudd’s rapid-fire act saw him deftly impersonate everybody from Michael McIntyre to the Minions (the outfit might just be a bit of a giveaway there) – and no doubt he’ll have even more gems up his yellow sleeves for the semi-final.

Akshat Singh – GOLDEN BUZZER

Ant and Dec’s Golden Buzzer act is teenage dancer Akshat, who showed off some nifty moves to Nicki Minaj’s Starships earlier in the series and won his way straight through to the live shows as a result. Can he take things one step further and nab a final spot?

When is Britain’s Got Talent on?

The first live show kicks off on Monday night on ITV at 7.30pm with the results show at 9.30pm.
