The glitz, glam, and tension of the Britain's Got Talent live shows returned on Monday night for the first time in two years. Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were back on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo for the first of the ITV show's five semi-finals.
They were joined by judges Amanda Holden, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon, and Simon Cowell as they and the viewers whittle down the huge number of acts to just 10 ahead of the grand final which airs on Sunday (June 5).
The first show of the week saw 77-year-old singer Mel Day, the London Community Gospel Choir, magic act The Witches, impressionist Suzi Wild, and dance group Born To Perform among those taking to the stage.
