Britain’s Got Talent has confirmed its full slate of finalists ahead of the highly anticipated final on Sunday 4 June.

A number of talented acts competed this week in the semi-finals for a shot at glory in this year's BGT final - with two acts qualifying for the final from each semi final in the run up to the 2023 showdown.

Over the years the show has catapulted many contestants to fame and the remaining contestants are hoping to follow in the footsteps of previous winners such as Diversity, Attraction and Axel Blake.

This year has already seen the likes of hi-vis man Viggo and Welsh singer Travis George reach the final, with other hoping to join them for a chance of winning the £250,000 and a slot at the Royal Variety Performance.

The final of this year's show is expected to attract a huge audience of viewers but who has made it to this year’s final and how many places are still up for grabs? Here is everything you need to know.

Who progressed from Friday’s semi-final?

Cillian O’Connor and Lilliana Clifton were the final two acts to book their place in Sunday’s final.

Cillian is a magician who wowed the audience with his display in Friday’s semi-final.

Lilliana is a dancer and her routine left viewers spell-bound.

Who progressed from Thursday’s semi-final?

Malaki Bayoh and Duo Odyssey were the fourth acts to book their place in the grand finale.

Bayoh is a talented 13-year-old singer and one of the favourites to win the entire competition.

During his Britain's Got Talent audition Bayoh wowed judges with his incredible vocals and he ultimately earned the golden buzzer from judge Simon Cowell.

Bayoh again impressed in the semi-finals and his performance brought judge Bruno Tonioli to tears as he won the public vote.

Duo Odyssey had to wait a while longer to secure their place in the grand finale.

The dance act won the votes of Bruno Tonioli and Amanda Holden but their competitors MB14 were saved by Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell.

This deadlock brought it back to the public vote and it was Duo Odyssey who progressed to the final.

Who progressed from Wednesday’s semi-final?

Ghetto Kids and Travis George were the third successful semi-finalists of this year’s show and they have secured their place in the final.

The Ghetto Kids are a dance and music group which have performed together since 2014. The dance troupe delighted audiences with a break-dance routine to Mi Gente by J Balvin and Willy William, which was mixed in with the popular 2010 World Cup hit (Waka Waka) This Time For Africa by Shakira

The group were joined in the final by 22-year-old Welsh singer Travis George.

George impressed the judges by singing Stars from Les Miserables in his first audition. He later followed that up with a semi-final performance of Bring Him Home, also from Les Miserables.

Who progressed from Tuesday’s semi-final

Viggo Venn and Olivia Lynes were the second batch of successful semi-finalist on Tuesday 30 May. Venn’s energetic rendition of the Eminem hit My Name Is and his hi-vis jacket dance proved hugely popular with audiences as he won the public vote.

Venn was joined in the final by 11-year-old singer Olivia Lynes who won the judge’s vote with an impressive cover of the Frozen classic Into the Unknown. Lyne was also Amanda Holden’s golden buzzer act earlier in the show during the audition phase of the series.

Who progressed from Monday’s semi-final?

Musa Motha impressed in the first semi-final on Monday 29 May and won the hearts of the public with a dance routine using a crutch. The dancer revealed earlier in the competition that he had a leg amputated due to cancer when he was younger.
