Britain 's Got Talent ( series 11 ) - wikipedia Britain 's Got Talent ( series 11 ) Britain 's Got Talent Series 11 Broadcast from 15 April -- 3 June 2017 Judges Simon Cowell Amanda Holden Alesha Dixon David Walliams Presenter ( s ) Anthony McPartlin ( ITV ) Declan Donnelly ( ITV ) Co-presenter ( s ) Stephen Mulhern ( ITV2 ) Broadcaster ITV ITV2 ( BGMT ) Winner Tokio Myers Origin London Genre ( s ) Pianist Runner - up Issy Simpson Chronology ◀ 2017 ▶ Series Eleven of Britain 's Got Talent, a British talent competition series, began broadcasting in the UK during 2017, from 15 April to 3 June ; because the One Love Manchester concert was to take place on 4 June, the live final was brought forward a day to avoid clashing with it. Following the closure of Fountain Studios the previous year, the live episodes were broadcast from Elstree Studios. The change in location allowed for a revamp of the studio used by both the main programme and its sister show, Britain 's Got More Talent. For the first time in eleven years, this series featured no judges ' vote for each semi final - instead the acts getting the highest and second - highest tally of public votes would move on to the live final ; after the series ' conclusion, Cowell admitted that he disliked this format change. In addition to the judges not voting for an act, the Public Wildcard format was dropped from the show, while the number of acts making it into the semi-finals was reduced to 40, returning to the original semi-final format used prior to the sixth series. The eleventh series was won by musician Tokio Myers, with magician Issy Simpson finishing in second place and comedian Daliso Chaponda in third place. During its broadcast, the series averaged around 9.1 million viewers.

No incidents occurred this year that would force any of the judges to be absent from these or require someone to stand - in for them. This series saw a reduction in the number of semi-finalists, along with, for the first time in eleven years of the show 's history, the axing of the judges vote. Its removal meant that the public vote now decided on which two semi-finalists moved on, with the acts receiving the highest and second - highest tally of votes automatically entered into the live final. The change in format for semi-finals was not announced until 27 May 2017 ; on 5 June, Cowell admitted he disliked this change, and intended to return to the original format for the next series. Of the participants that took part, only forty made it into the five live semi-finals - of these acts, singer Sarah Ikumu, dance group MerseyGirls, comedian Daliso Chaponda, comic magician Matt Edwards, and singer Kyle Tomlinson, each received a golden buzzer during their auditions - with eight appearing in each one, and eleven of these acts making it into the live final ; because the Judges ' vote was dropped, this series did not feature a `` Public Wildcard '', but still maintained the `` Judges ' Wildcard '', which was Sarah Ikumu, after she placed 3rd in the public vote in the third semi-final. The following below lists the results of each participant 's overall performance in this series : Winner Runner - up Third place Finalist Semi-finalist ( placed 3rd in public vote ) Semi-finalist ( eliminated ) Judges ' wildcard ( previously eliminated act reinstated into the final by the judges ) Golden buzzer Participant Age ( s ) Genre Act From Semi-final Result Angelicus Celtis 12 - 17 Singing Choir Llanelli, Wales Eliminated Code 3 14 - 16 Dance Dance Trio Dartford 5 Eliminated Daliso Chaponda 37 Comedy Stand - up comedian Manchester ( originally Malawi ) 5 Third place David Geaney 22 Dance Dancer Ireland Eliminated Destiny Chukunyere 14 Singing Singer Birkirkara, Malta Eliminated Dizzy Twilight 65 Variety DJ Wiltshire Eliminated DNA 29 & 43 Magic Mentalists London Finalist ( Won Public Vote ) Empire Dance Crew 15 - 27 Dance Street Dance Troupe London Eliminated Grace & Ali 17 & 16 Dance Dancing Duo Hartlepool / Middlesbrough Eliminated ( Placed 3rd in Public vote ) Harry Gardner 16 Singing / Music Singer / Pianist Essex Eliminated Issy Simpson 8 Magic Magician Blackpool Runner - up Jamie Lee Harrison 24 Singing Singer Newcastle 5 Eliminated ( Placed 3rd in Public Vote ) Jay Wynn 36 Singing Singing Robot Gloucester Eliminated Jess Robinson 34 Comedy Impressionist London 5 Eliminated John Parnell 63 Variety Hula - Hoop Artist Nuneaton Eliminated Jonny Awsum 39 Singing Comic Singer Croydon Eliminated Josephine Lee 30 Magic Illusionist London Eliminated Kyle Tomlinson 15 Singing Singer Sheffield Finalist ( Placed 2nd in Public Vote ) Leah Barniville 14 Singing Classical Singer Ireland Eliminated London School of Bollywood 18 - 27 Dance Bollywood Dance Troupe London Eliminated Lords Of Strut 35 & 36 Dance / Comedy Comic Dance Duo Cork 5 Eliminated Martin & Faye 47 & 10 Singing Singing Duo Warrington Eliminated Matt Edwards 34 Magic / Comedy Comic Magician Suffolk Finalist ( Placed 2nd in Public Vote ) MerseyGirls 14 - 17 Dance Dance Group Wirral Finalist ( Placed 2nd in Public Vote ) Miss Treat Vibe 19 - 24 Singing Girl Group Sheffield / South London / Swindon / Birmingham Eliminated ( Placed 3rd in Public Vote ) Missing People Choir 32 - 71 Singing Choir London 5 Finalist ( Placed 2nd in Public vote ) Ned Woodman 8 Comedy Stand - up Comedian Maidstone Finalist ( Placed 2nd in Public Vote ) Niels Harder 26 Magic / Comedy Comic Magician Amsterdam, Netherlands Eliminated Paws With Soul 24 - 29 Dance Dance Troupe London Eliminated PC Dan 33 Dance Dancer Kingston Eliminated Perfect Pitch Creation 8 - 14 Singing Choir Derbyshire 5 Eliminated Reuben Gray 16 Singing / Music Singer / Guitarist Surrey Eliminated ( Placed 3rd in Public vote ) Ryan Tracey 35 Variety Balloonist Omagh Eliminated Sarah Ikumu 16 Singing Singer Milton Keynes Finalist ( Won Judges ' wildcard ) St. Patrick 's Junior Choir Drumgreenagh 8 - 12 Singing Choir Rathfriland Eliminated TapTastik 19 - 62 Dance Tap Dance Troupe Brighton Eliminated The Pensionalities 84 & 75 Singing Singing Duo Doncaster Finalist ( Won Public vote ) TNG Characters 16 - 25 Dance Dance Troupe West London 5 Eliminated Tokio Myers 32 Music Pianist / Drummer / Remixer London Winner Tyrone & Mina 36 & 35 Danger Knife Throwing Duo Argentina / Spain Eliminated ^ 1 Both performers came from one or the other location. ^ 2 MerseyGirls initially auditioned for the show as `` Just Us ''. ^ 3 Each member of the group came from one of these locations. ^ 4 The Pensionalities initially auditioned for the show as `` The Pensionaires ''.

Part of these changes included an amendment which required any foreign participant taking part on Britain 's Got Talent to have the proper visas that gave them `` the right to live and work in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Republic of Ireland ''. A check of the pair found that they only had visitation rights to the UK on their visas, which would have forbidden them further entry into the competition had the mistake not occurred. Although the pair got no further than the auditions, a spokesperson later stated that while their visas did not deny them entry into the competition, they would have had to change them if they won the series and sought to claim the prize money afterwards. Lip - synching / miming claims Following the first semi-final, several viewers took to social media to criticise St. Patrick 's Junior Choir of cheating, claiming that they were miming in their performance. These accusations were made, when the choir 's performance was immediately stopped by the show 's hosts because of technical difficulties, whereupon a piece of recording of them singing played for a short while in the background as they prepared to restart their song. However, the show refuted the claims of miming, explaining that while fixing the technical error, which was caused by the wrong track being provided for the choir to perform to, a recording from their rehearsal had been accidentally played while they were trying to rectify this. Holden 's dress complaint Following the fourth semi-final, several viewers took to social media to criticise Amanda Holden over her choice of outfit she wore during the live episode. The accusations were against a dress, designed by Julien Macdonald, that featured a plunging neckline that revealed a large part of her chest, which viewers felt was inappropriate to be shown on TV before the 9pm watershed. Although Ofcom received over six hundred complaints in regards to this matter, the regulator chose not to investigate the matter further. Other criticisms During its broadcast, a number of viewers made minor criticisms against the show in a couple of areas : Following the audition of child comedian Ned Woodman, several viewers criticised the performance for being `` disrespectful '' and for having a misogynist nature, after a joke he made in which he compared Amanda Holden to `` a dog ''. Following an episode of Britain 's Got More Talent, in which for a segment Stephen Mulhern quizzed the judges on the most Googled questions about them, several viewers took to social media to accuse the show of lying, when Mulhern stated that the most common Google question for David Walliams was - `` is David Walliams dating Simon Cowell ''. Their accusation stated that this was untrue, with several providing screenshots that showed the actual top question to be - `` is David Walliams dead ? ''.
