The grand finale date for Britain’s Got Talent has been revealed by ITV and will feature a whopping feature-length broadcast to bring the show to a close.
A new season of the long-standing competition show hit screens earlier this year and welcomed judges Simon Cowell, 65, Amanda Holden, 54, Alesha Dixon, 46, and Bruno Tonioli, 69.
The series has seen plenty of twists and turns, from epic golden buzzer moments to temporary judge KSI being pranked by his brother on stage.
Now, as the remaining acts prepare for this weekend’s show, ITV has confirmed the details for the highly-anticipated finale.
It will take place on Saturday, May 31 and will air for a whopping two hours and 45 minutes, from 7pm to 9.45pm.

The show typically airs for two hours, so the extended finale is set to be impressive, though the finalists are yet to be confirmed.
During the series, there’s been a range of impressive acts including a performer put a corkscrew and meat hook through their head and nose, and out of their mouth.
The series has also been caught up in ‘fix’ rows including when singer Max Fox stunned the judges when he shouted out from the audience and begged to perform.
The judges were left baffled by the outburst and were convinced it was a production set up.
Max explained that he had tried to audition for 19 years but had never got through and begged Simon for a chance to take to the stage and person.
He pleaded: ‘Can you give me one opportunity? I can show you what I’ve got.’
The outburst caused visible confusion on the panel and Simon stood up and asked: ‘Come here, are you serious? Hang on, is this a wind-up?’

Max left audiences gobsmacked as he delivered a powerful rendition of Frank Sinatra’s My Way, earning a standing ovation and the Golden Buzzer.
However, some people afterwards accused the moment of being a set up and Simon attempted to clear up the claims last month on This Morning.
He said: ‘On my life, I swear to God that was not a set up, I honestly thought ‘Okay, someone’s put in there’ and I said to producers ‘Come on, this is a set up right?’ and they went ‘No’.’
Simon went on to explain: ‘I just thought we’d never show it and he wanted to sing in front of me and I thought why not.
‘I was laughing so much and when the golden buzzer happened I said, ‘No one’s going to believe this’.’
