Do you watch Britain's Got Talent?

  • Published

Britain's Got Talent is top-level Saturday night viewing for families up and down the country.

But this weekend, it won't go out on Saturday - it'll be available to watch on Sunday instead.

It means fans won't miss out on the BGT experience, even if they want to watch Eurovision.

That's because Saturday night is also the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, where Olly Alexander will be representing the UK from Malmo in Sweden.

Will you be watching one, or both? Let us know in the comments below.

Olly will be hoping to wow the judges and viewers at home with his original song 'Dizzy'.

Eurovision is a massively popular event and over 162 million people tuned in to watch the three live finals in 2023.

The BGT switch to Sunday means people can watch both live on TV and not have to choose (or flick) between them.

When is Britain's Got Talent on this week?

This week's Britain's Got Talent will be on ITV1 and ITVX at 7:40pm on Sunday 12 May.
