The Britain's Got Talent semi-final week is a regular addition to the TV calendar and that time has almost come round again. After weeks of auditions, the judges have finally made their decision on who they think has what it takes to perform in front of royalty. With a huge array of talent shown over the last couple of weeks, it is now time for the general public to choose their winner.
The semi-finals, which will run every night this week ahead of the finals this weekend, will pit the judges' favourite contestants against each other in a bid to show Her Maj what they can do at the Royal Variety Performance. But when is the first semi-final and where can you watch it?
