Your Complete Guide to Voting in Britain’s Got Talent 2025
Britain’s Got Talent 2025 is gearing up for its most exciting final yet, and your vote will help decide who takes home the crown. Whether you’re glued to your phone or prefer the classic call-in experience, there are several ways to make your favorite act’s night.
Britain's Got Talent voting options come with their own perks and quirks, so let's break down exactly how each method works—no confusing jargon or hidden steps.
How to Vote: All the Ways Explained
If you want to vote online, you just need to hop onto the ITV website or use the Britain’s Got Talent app during the live show. Voting is 100% free this way. If it's your first time, you’ll be asked to enter your UK mobile number. ITV sends you a passcode by text just to check you’re really in the UK. Once you verify, you’re ready to support your favourite act with no extra charges.
If you still like the thrill of calling in your vote, you can do that too. Each finalist gets their own short dial code that pops up on your TV when it's time to vote. You can vote by sending a text message to their code (standard network rates apply) or calling a special phone number for your act. You’ll get a quick confirmation so you know your vote went through, but be aware: these votes aren’t free, and there can be a slight delay in some cases.
For the folks in the semi-finals, things get even more interesting. Each night sees eight acts compete, but only two move on to the grand final. Sometimes a judge, or even a celebrity guest, slams the famous golden buzzer for a standout act—that instantly guarantees them a spot in the final. The second spot goes to the act that gets the most public votes. If the buzzer stays silent, then the two acts with the highest public votes make it through.
In the final, it’s all up to you and other viewers. Judges can’t override the public’s choice with a buzzer or secret save. The results, announced live, reflect only the audience votes. But what if there’s a tie? The judges step in, and if they also can’t agree, the head judge gets the last word.
Every time voting opens, updated numbers for all acts are shown on screen. It's quick and clear—no endless searching. Online and app votes count instantly, while text and call votes give fast feedback once your vote lands.
- Online/app voting: It’s free, needs UK mobile verification, and works instantly.
- Text/phone voting: Costs may apply depending on your network, but you'll get confirmation as soon as you've cast your vote.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a super fan who never misses a series, the voting setup is designed to be easy, fair, and safe for everyone in the UK. So grab your phone or open your laptop when the hosts shout ‘lines are open!' It’s your chance to make talent show history.
