The eight contestants competing in tonight's first Britain's Got Talent semi-final have been revealed.

After a delay of more than three months, the series is back with a new socially-distanced format that will see the episodes recorded in advance, the judges sitting on separate desks, and the studio audience appearing virtually from their homes on a giant video wall.

Former BGT winner Ashley Banjo is also making his debut tonight, having been drafted in to replace Simon Cowell following his serious back injury last month.

Scroll on to discover which eight acts will be taking to the stage and a first picture peek of their performances!
