Who are the final acts and which received a golden buzzer?

Several acts took to the stage in the semi-finals to compete for a spot in the live final.
Over the semi-finals the judges and hosts were permitted to use one Golden Buzzer each to put an act through to the final, whilst the other finalist was selected by the public vote each week.
In previous series the Golden Buzzer has only been used in the audition rounds.
Let's take a look at this year's finalists...
Blackouts (Golden Buzzer):

Dance Group The Blackouts have impressed the judges and audience alike with their terrific staging and LED outfits.
They come from Switzerland and are no stranger to talent shows.
The group have previously got to the final of Switzerland's Got Talent in 2016 and Germany's Das Supertalent in 2024.
Vinnie McKee (Public vote):

Vinnie McKee is a Scottish singer-songwriter.
He was hugely popular in his audition where he scored Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer.
In the semi-final his powerful vocals were a hit with fans and he earned a place in the final through the public vote.
Olly Pearson (Golden Buzzer):

Just 11-years-old, Olly Pearson is one of the youngest of this year's finalists.
He started playing guitar aged just seven after seeing a neighbour playing one.
Olly has so far secured not one, but two Golden Buzzers - the first from Amanda Holden in his audition and another from Simon Cowell during the semi-finals.
Stacey Leadbeatter (Public vote):

Stacey is currently a supermarket worker but will the BGT final change that?
She has wowed audiences throughout the competition with her powerful vocal performances.
Before BGT, Stacey had only performed to a small crowd at the local pub.
Jasmine Rice (Golden Buzzer):

Jasmine Rice is an opera singer and drag queen.
She gained the Golden Buzzer from judge Bruno Tonioli during her semi-final episode with her vocal performance of Never Enough from The Greatest Showman.
Jasmine also received a standing ovation from all of the judges.
Ping Pong Pang (Public vote):

Ping Pong Pang are a fusion dance troupe from Italy, who also have experience in talent competitions after they made it to the final of the Italian version of the show.
The group, which has 15 core members and is led by two siblings, is a fusion of ping pong and dance.
They battled their way to the final through the public vote.
Joseph Charm (Golden Buzzer):

In a bit of a twist, comedian Joseph Charm got the Golden Buzzer from his own mum!
Judge Alesha Dixon let her press it on her behalf after Simon Cowell invited his mum to join the judges.
Joseph quit his job to pursue comedy so is living his dream performing to audiences.
Hear Our Voice (Public vote):

The Hear Our Voice choir is made up of 39 people who were impacted by the Horizon post office scandal.
This was when an IT error meant hundreds of sub-postmasters were falsely convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting.
The choir has been praised for coming together and won the audience's vote to make it through to the final.
Harry Moulding (Golden Buzzer):

Another magician who has made the final is Harry Moulding.
His semi-final show was one that will never be forgotten as his show-stopping performance ended with audience member Harry getting down on one knee to ask his girlfriend, Jess, to marry him.
His performance gained him the Golden Buzzer from guest judge KSI.
Binita Chetry (Public vote):

The youngest of this year's finalists is 9-year-old gymnast and dancer Binita.
She was voted in by the public after she impressed the audience and judges with her fiery performance.
After her semi-final performance Simon Cowell exclaimed: "This is what I call a moment where a star is born."
Wildcard act:

And... that's not all!
Two wildcard acts will also be performing in the final.
Viewers will be able to pick a Wild Card from the five people who come 3rd in each of the semi-finals.
AND the Judges will then also pick their own Wild Card from the remaining semi-finalists.
Bringing the total to 12 acts performing in Saturday's final.
When is the show on?

The live final of Britain's Got Talent will take place on May 31 at 7pm.
It will be shown on ITV and ITVX.
The winner will be announced live and will receive a cash prize of £250,000 and offered the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Show.
