Following the first epic semi-final of the week, we have our first two Britain’s Got Talent finalists.

Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli returned to their judging duties tonight as eight acts took to the stage, all hoping to win over the public.

These acts were: Sven Smith, The Trickstars, Trey Braine, Sslaubi Performance Troupe, Taryn Charles, Bikoon, Stardust, and Innocent Masuku.

However, only two could go through to the final, and they were Innocent Masuku and Ssaulabi Performance Troupe.

Opera singing powerhouse Innocent received the most votes from the public, sending him straight through after an incredible closing performance.

Meanwhile, dog act The Trickstars and martial arts stars Sslaubi Performance Troupe found themselves in the top 3, meaning the judges had the power to choose who went through.

While the panel heaped praise on both acts, it ended up being a clean sweep, as all four voted in favour of Ssaulabi Performance Troupe.

This means they now have a chance to follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner, comedy clown Viggo Venn.

Alas, dog training act The Trickstars suffered yet another blow, as she noted it felt like a repeat of 2016 ‘all over again’, when she also failed to make it to the final.

In true BGT style, semi-final week kicked off in utterly chaotic style.

We had rollerblading daredevils Stardust dragging judge Bruno on stage and suspending him in the air as part of their act, plus Sven running riot with his air guitar.

Also performing on Monday night’s show were the West End cast of Disney’s award-winning musical The Lion King.

Britain’s Got Talent’s semi-finals continue tomorrow night on ITV1 and ITVX.
