And for the first time in BGT, history, not only are they competing for the public vote, but also for the judges’ or Ant & Dec’s Golden Buzzer, which will send the act straight through to the final, with only two of the eight acts making it through.
The line up includes two magicians, three singers, a rock band, two dance and variety acts and a daredevil performer.
These acts will make up the first of five live semi-final rounds that will take place in the coming weeks.
But there is one terrifying performer who some viewers will not be happy to see again.
Auzzy Blood caused a controversy after “kids we left screaming and throwing up” after his “morbid and sickening” act.
Appearing on stage in gothic make-up, the performer held up giant corkscrews to the audience before carrying out his gory stunt.
Feeding the corkscrews through his nose and out his mouth, Auzzy Blood left the studio audience squealing and viewers at home complaining.
BGT was hit by 680 complaints after his dangerous act.
While another performer, who has landed a spot in the semi-final, was Akira Ohashi’s nude act, who shocked viewers when he stripped off on stage.
But furious viewers took to the regulator with 90 complainants were about his nudity during the routine.
Many viewers took to social media to slam Akira and Auzzy Blood’s routine.
“My daughters nearly throwing up and I just couldn’t look at all. #bgt no,” one parent fumed.
Another wrote: “I’ve sent an Ofcom complaint, my six-year-old was traumatised poor thing. It’s not even 9pm.”
A third person then said at the time: “That is an absolute NO for me.
“I personally believe the fact you came onto a show like this and stuck hooks through your nose is morally repugnant and totally out of keeping with a family show and a potential Royal Variety act. NO.”
Meanwhile, Jurassic rockers Heavysaurus have also landed a spot in the semi-final.
They gave the judges a show to remember as they headbanged their way through classic hits from rock gods, Queen and Bon Jovi.
Magician Eden Choi will also be back after he seamlessly impressed the judges and viewers with his card tricks.
The judges looked visibly amazed throughout his first audition and rose to their feet as Eden took a bow.
While eight-year-old Teddy Magic will also be back with more telepathic pranks and card tricks.
He received a standing ovation from the judges and audience when he wowed when he made champagne bottle pop without touching it.
Alesha Dixon’s Golden Buzzer act Linda Mudzenda impressed with her showstopping performance.
The 21-year-old wowed with her smooth rendition of Lauren Daigle’s You Say.
KSI said: “That was so touching, man, seeing how beautifully you sang. I could feel the nerves as you came to the mic and then you blessed this whole room with your voice.”
Alesha then teased: “About 15 minutes ago, KSI said to me: ‘What is it gonna take for you to press your golden buzzer?'”
Alesha then slammed the buzzer, leaving an emotional Linda in tears.
She’s not the only singer and Golden Buzzer act to make it through to the first semi-finals.
Bingo caller Vinnie McKee, 29, landed Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer with a tender version of The Proclaimers’ classic hit I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
Completing the line-up is The Blackouts, who give the judges an experience to remember as they plunged Blackpool’s Winter Gardens into darkness and perform a spectacular light show.
