It was announced on 27 May 2017 on ''Britain's Got More Talent'' that for the first time in the show's 11 year history, there will be no judge vote during the live shows. This means that the two highest acts voted by the public will go through to the live final. The judges vote will be replaced by a judges' wild card, where the judges will get their own wild card to send an act through to the live final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/britains-got-talent/311746-britains-got-talent-2017-confirm-brand-new-twist-live-shows.html |title=Britain's Got Talent 2017 confirm brand new twist for the live shows &#124; Britain's Got Talent 2017 |website=TellyMix.co.uk |date= |accessdate=30 May 2017}}</ref>

As part of the move to [[Elstree Studios (Shenley Road)|Elstree Studios]], the show went under a revamp of its design. The new look studio is set on Stage 1 (also known as The George Lucas Stage), which is the largest studio at Elstree Studios. The studio is much bigger and will seat more people. The seating plan is now in a semi circle shape where the audience will sit around the side and opposite the stage. The studio has a color-changing chandelier at the center of the roof, along with a LED circle screen with the Britain's Got Talent logo displayed in gold. Britain's Got More Talent also went under a revamp with the studio getting a color change. The Britain's Got More Talent studio still has the window looking onto the main studio as normal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/britains-got-talent/311733-britains-got-talents-brand-new-live-set-studio-revealed.html |title=Britain's Got Talent's brand new live set and studio revealed &#124; Britain's Got Talent 2017 |website=TellyMix.co.uk |date= |accessdate=30 May 2017}}</ref>

The eleventh series of British talent competition programme '''''[[Britain's Got Talent]]''''' was broadcast on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], from 15 April to 3 June 2017; because the [[One Love Manchester]] concert was to take place on 4 June, the live final was brought forward a day to avoid clashing with it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metro.co.uk/2017/06/02/little-mix-cancel-britains-got-talent-final-performance-after-shows-switch-to-saturday-night-6680507/|title=Little Mix cancel Britain's Got Talent final performance after show's switch to Saturday night|website=Metro|first=Caroline|last=Westbrook|date=2 June 2017|access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref><ref name="final date">{{cite web|url=http://www.itv.com/britainsgottalent/insider/britains-got-talent-grand-final-moves-to-saturday|title=Britain's Got Talent Grand Final moves to Saturday|date=31 May 2017|access-date=31 May 2017}}</ref> Following the closure of [[Fountain Studios]] the previous year, the live episodes were broadcast from [[Elstree Studios (Shenley Road)|Elstree Studios]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.elstreestudios.co.uk/News/Britains_Got_Talent.aspx |title=Britain's Got Talent |website=Elstreestudios.co.uk |date=28 February 2017 |access-date=30 May 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170613172345/http://www.elstreestudios.co.uk/News/Britains_Got_Talent.aspx# |archive-date=13 June 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The change in location allowed for a revamp of the studio used by both the main programme and its sister show, ''Britain's Got More Talent''.<ref name="Studio Move">{{cite web|url=http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/britains-got-talent/311733-britains-got-talents-brand-new-live-set-studio-revealed.html |title=Britain's Got Talent's brand new live set and studio revealed &#124; Britain's Got Talent 2017 |website=TellyMix.co.uk |access-date=30 May 2017}}</ref>

The eleventh series was won by pianist [[Tokio Myers]], with magician Issy Simpson finishing in second place<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2017/06/03/britains-got-talent-final-will-comedian-daliso-chaponda-take/|title= Britain's Got Talent Final winner: musician Tokio Myers triumphs – just ahead of magician Issy Simpson|date=3 June 2017|work=The Telegraph|access-date=7 June 2017}}</ref> and comedian Daliso Chaponda third. During its broadcast, the series averaged around 9.1&nbsp;million viewers.
==Semi-finals==
The semi-finals ran from 29 May to 2 June 2017. As in previous years, the performance show aired from 7.30pm to 9pm, and the results show aired at 9.30pm after ''Coronation Street''. However this year (unlike previous years) only eight acts performed in each semi-final, and there were no judges' vote; instead the two acts with the most amount of public votes in each semi-final advanced to the final.


==Series overview==
Each results show featured a guest performance. Alfie Boe performed on 29 May, followed by [[Camila Cabello]] on 30 May. The cast of Bat Out of Hell: The Musical performed on 31 May, followed by [[Richard Jones (magician)|Richard Jones]] on 1 June. [[5 After Midnight]] performed on 2 June. [[Diversity (dance troupe)|Diversity]] will perform during the final on 3 June.<ref name="Semi Final Guests">{{cite news|url=http://www.itv.com/britainsgottalent/insider/little-mix-diversity-camila-cabello-more-for-bgt-lives|title=Little Mix, Diversity, Camila Cabello & more to perform at BGT Semi-Finals|date=27 May 2017|work=Britain's Got Talent|publisher=[[itv.com]]|accessdate=28 May 2017}}</ref>

This change in format was not announced until 27 May 2017;<ref name="Format Twist" /> on 5 June, following the conclusion of the eleventh series, Cowell admitted he disliked this change and had production staff informed it would not be used for the next series.<ref name="Cowell Dislike" />


Of the participants that took part, only forty made it into the five live semi-finals – of these acts, singer Sarah Ikumu, dance group MerseyGirls, comedian Daliso Chaponda, comic magician Matt Edwards, and singer Kyle Tomlinson,<ref name="Anth, Gee">{{cite news|last1=Anth|first1=Gee|title=Britain's Got Talent 2017: David Walliams and Amanda Holden press their golden buzzers!|url=http://www.twitcelebgossip.com/24512-britains-got-talent-2017-david-walliams-amanda-holden-press-golden-buzzers/|access-date=11 April 2017|publisher=Twit Celeb Gossip|date=3 February 2017}}</ref> each received a golden buzzer during their auditions – with eight appearing in each one – returning to the original arrangement before the sixth series – and eleven of these acts making it into the live final; the wildcard act chosen by the judges was Sarah Ikumu, after she placed 3rd in the public vote in the third semi-final. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this series:
It was announced on 2 June that, due to the final being brought forward to 3 June to avoid interfering with the [[One Love Manchester]] benefit concert, [[Little Mix]] would be unable to perform.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metro.co.uk/2017/06/02/little-mix-cancel-britains-got-talent-final-performance-after-shows-switch-to-saturday-night-6680507/|title=Little Mix cancel Britain's Got Talent final performance after show's switch to Saturday night|website=Metro|first=Caroline|last=Westbrook|date=2 June 2017|accessdate=2 June 2017}}</ref>

===Professional acts===
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center; width:60%;"
During the auditions, several acts were found to be professional, including Chinese Acrobatics Gao Lin and Liu Xin, who had already performed in China's Got Talent season 5 and inaugurated season of Asia's Got Talent, as well as a performer in several Chinese TV shows.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Daly|first1=Helen|title=Britain's Got Talent: Gao Lin and Liu Xin forced to leave competition after show blunder|url=http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/796911/Britain-s-Got-Talent-2017-Gao-Lin-Liu-Xin-banned-immigration-blunder|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=Daily Express|date=26 April 2017}}</ref> Another singer act Sian Pattison had been discovered to be a professionally trained singer.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jones|first1=Lucy|title=Britain’s Got Talent fans fuming after Sian Pattison says she is frightened of singing in public despite having professional music experience|url=https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3451339/britains-got-talent-fans-fuming-after-sian-pattison-says-she-is-frightened-of-singing-in-public-despite-having-professional-music-experience/|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=The Sun|date=1 May 2017}}</ref> Also Tanba from Japan, who was a magician, was also disclosed to be a professional magician in Japan. None of these acts appeared in the episode of Judges Cut or in the Top 40. Some reports said these acts were axed by Simon Cowell, as he did not want 'Second Chance Charlies'; however, this was not verified by BGT or ITV.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Franklin|first1=Lauren|title=Simon Cowell axes several Britain’s Got Talent performers after they’re exposed as secret professionals|url=http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/796911/Britain-s-Got-Talent-2017-Gao-Lin-Liu-Xin-banned-immigration-blunder|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=The Sun|date=27 May 2017}}</ref>

===St. Patrick's Junior Choir===
When the choir first began their performance of [[Katy Perry]]'s "[[Roar (song)|Roar]]", Ant & Dec almost immediately stopped them for technical difficulties. Viewers on Twitter and other social media websites complained, accusing the choir of miming because they were out of sync with the backing track. However, it was denied by the crew who said that it was an accident and they had played the recording of the rehearsal of the choir for the semi-final.<ref>{{cite news|last1=O'Sullivan|first1=Kyle|title=Britain's Got Talent hit by cheat claims after viewers accuse school choir of miming|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/britains-talent-hit-cheat-viewers-10525505|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=The Mirror|date=29 May 2017}}</ref>

===Most googled David Walliams question===
In ''More Talent'', Stephen Mulhern had the judges play a game in which they guessed the most googled questions about them. He revealed that the most common google search question about David Walliams was "is David Walliams dating Simon Cowell", which Stephen claimed was a "verified" fact. A number of viewers took to Twitter and Facebook to accuse the show of lying, providing screenshots showing that the actual top question was "is David Walliams dead?".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Minn|first1=Hayley|title=Stephen Mulhern accused of lying on Britain's Got More Talent about most Googled question about David Walliams|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/stephen-mulhern-accused-lying-britains-10531865|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=The Mirror|date=30 May 2017}}</ref>

===Ned Woodman===
During his audition, child comedian Ned Woodman compared Amanda to previous act Marc Métral & Wendy, asking why everyone was "excited by the talking dog" when "Amanda Holden has been on the show for years". The comment caused outrage from a number of viewers over its "misogynist" nature.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bullock|first1=Andrew|title=Viewers appalled at 'disrespectful' child comic Ned Woodman's Britain's Got Talent routine slating the judges... which was 'written by his parents'|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4414960/Viewers-appalled-child-comic-Ned-Woodman-BGT.html|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=Mail Online|date=15 April 2017}}</ref> During ''More Talent'' Amanda also criticized Ned's audition stating that, she doesn't like kids who "are inapprorpriate and say stuff that's wrong for their age", adding "He did call me a dog in his first audition, which is unacceptable, but he was brilliant tonight." She also accused him of not writing his own material, stating that she'd "like to know what jokes Ned wrote himself". She further praised his semi-final performance, describing it as less hurtful, and funny.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Minn|first1=Hayley|title=Amanda Holden accuses Ned Woodman of not writing his own jokes|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/amanda-holden-accuses-ned-woodman-10538431|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=The Mirror|date=31 May 2017}}</ref>

===Amanda Holden's dress===
On the fourth semi-final, judge Amanda Holden wore a dress (by designer [[Julien Macdonald]]) with a plunging neckline which revealed a large part of her chest and breasts. This was widely criticised as inappropriate for a family show.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Minn|first1=Hayley|title='It's a family show!'

The eleventh series of British talent competition programme Britain's Got Talent was broadcast on ITV, from 15 April to 3 June 2017; because the One Love Manchester concert was to take place on 4 June, the live final was brought forward a day to avoid clashing with it.[1][2] Following the closure of Fountain Studios the previous year, the live episodes were broadcast from Elstree Studios.[3] The change in location allowed for a revamp of the studio used by both the main programme and its sister show, Britain's Got More Talent.[4]

For the first time in eleven years, this series featured no judges' vote for each semi-final – instead the acts getting the highest and second-highest tally of public votes would move on to the live final;[5] after the series' conclusion, Cowell admitted that he disliked this format change.[6] In addition to the judges not voting for an act, the Public Wildcard format was dropped from the show, while the number of acts making it into the semi-finals was reduced to 40, returning to the original semi-final format used prior to the sixth series.

The eleventh series was won by pianist Tokio Myers, with magician Issy Simpson finishing in second place[7] and comedian Daliso Chaponda third. During its broadcast, the series averaged around 9.1 million viewers.

Series overview

[edit]

Following open auditions held the previous year between October and December,[8] the Judges' audition took place between January and February 2017, within Blackpool, London, Birmingham and Salford.[9] Along with discontinuing the use of the Public wildcard format, production staff changed the rules to suspend the use of the Judges' vote – the change meant that the voting system would be purely conducted by a public vote, with the semi-finalists receiving the highest and second-highest tally of votes respectively automatically securing a place in the live final. This change in format was not announced until 27 May 2017;[5] on 5 June, following the conclusion of the eleventh series, Cowell admitted he disliked this change and had production staff informed it would not be used for the next series.[6]

Of the participants that took part, only forty made it into the five live semi-finals – of these acts, singer Sarah Ikumu, dance group MerseyGirls, comedian Daliso Chaponda, comic magician Matt Edwards, and singer Kyle Tomlinson,[10] each received a golden buzzer during their auditions – with eight appearing in each one – returning to the original arrangement before the sixth series – and eleven of these acts making it into the live final; the wildcard act chosen by the judges was Sarah Ikumu, after she placed 3rd in the public vote in the third semi-final. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this series:
