The line-up for tonight's (May 26) first Britain's Got Talent live semi-final has been revealed.
Nine acts will go on stage in front of Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon before members of the public vote for their favourite to advance to the live final on Saturday.
The two runners-up will then be at the mercy of the judges, who will decide which act joins the viewers' choice in the grand final.
The acts performing tonight are:

Darcy Oake
Darcy Oake is a professional magician from Canada who has been doing magic since the age of 10. He received four yeses from the judges after impressing them with his illusions and got a standing ovation from David, Amanda and Alesha. Oake admitted to Digital Spy recently that he has used magic to pick up girls in the past.
CountryViveAlthough the judges were first a bit bemused, CountryVive won them over with their energetic country dancing and got four yeses and a standing ovation. David even described them as "the answer to [their] prayers".
CollabroAlthough this boyband had only been together for a month, they received four yeses for their rendition of 'Stars' from Les Misérables, surprising Simon who admitted that he 'thought it was going to be awful'.
Christian SpridonDavid Walliams caused some uproar when he slammed his golden buzzer for Spridon, who performed Tom Jones's 'Sex Bomb'. The waiter received three buzzes but automatically made it through to the live shows when David came to his rescue.
Henrietta AdewoleMusic student Adewole gave a soulful version of Passenger's 'Let Her Go' in her audition. She impressed each of the judges, with Amanda complimenting her retro tone and Alesha liking the jazzy aspect of the rendition.
Lauren and TerrellBest friends Lauren and Terrell blew the four judges away in their audition with their fast-paced and slick choreography. Despite there only being two of them, David congratulated the pair on managing to fill the stage much more than some of the larger groups.
Jon CleggImpressionist Clegg managed to make all four judges laugh by incorporating a wide range of impersonations into his act, including Marge Simpson, Alan Carr and even Mr Nasty himself, Simon Cowell. Funny must run in the family blood as Clegg's father had previously appeared on ITV talent show New Faces.
Patsy MayPatsy May caught the attention of the judges after inviting Ant & Dec up on stage to be serenaded as she sang 'Dream a Little Dream'. Simon commented that he could see Patsy sitting in Amanda's judging chair next year.
