Series 11 was the eleventh series of Britain's Got Talent. It started on April 15 2017. Ant & Dec returned to host while Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams returned to the judging panel. Stephen Mulhern returned with Britain's Got More Talent. Ant & Dec filmed an intro for the series outside the National Portrait Gallery in London.
This is the only ever Series of the main show discounting The Champions (Series 1) to not include a Judges Vote in order to decide who should advance onto the Final from the second & third placed act of a Semi-Final. Additionally in this Series but one Wildcard act was selected as the Public Wildcard was scrapped, therefore leaving behind but the Judges Wildcard, which had been the case between Series 6 & Series 8.
This was the first and so far only ever series for every Golden Buzzer act to advance onto the Final as David Walliams' Golden Buzzer Kyle Tomlinson placed second in the Public Vote of the first Semi-Final, Ant & Dec's Golden Buzzer Matt Edwards placed second in the Public Vote of the second Semi-Final, Alesha Dixon's Golden Buzzer MerseyGirls placed second in the Public Vote of the fourth Semi-Final, and Amanda Holden's Golden Buzzer Daliso Chaponda won the Public Vote of the fifth and Final Semi-Final, however Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer Sarah Ikumu placed third in the Public Vote of the third Semi-Final and originally missed out on the Final, however she advanced onto the Final via the Judges Wildcard.
