"ITV and Britain's Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause"
ITV has announced that the Britain's Got Talent final has been moved to Saturday as a result of the Ariana Grande Manchester charity concert.
It will now take place on Saturday, June 3 at 7.30pm instead of Sunday, with the British Soap Awards moving from Saturday night to Tuesday, June 6 at 8pm.
"Ariana Grande's 'One Love Manchester' benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together, and will raise funds for the Red Cross's Manchester Emergency Fund," an ITV spokesperson said.
"ITV and Britain's Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain's Got Talent Final from Sunday night."
Last night's (May 30) second semi-final saw magicians Issy Simpson and Matt Edwards grab a place in the final, joining 15-year-old singer Kyle Tomlinson and mind-reading duo DNA.
It also saw grandmother Dizzy Twilight DJ-ing inside a spaceship and singer Harry Gardner bring the audience to tears by dedicating his performance to his late nan.
Viewers also thought they spotted a funny error on Britain's Got More Talent in a segment where Stephen Mulhern got the panel to guess what were the most commonly Googled questions for each of them.
Britain's Got Talent continues tonight (May 31) at 7.30pm on ITV with the third semi-final featuring London School of Bollywood, Martin & Faye, Ned Woodman, Jay Wynn, Sarah Ikumu, David Geaney and Tokio Myers.
