The eleventh series of Britain's Got Talent premiered on 15 April 2017 and concluded on 3 June 2017. Ant & Dec returned to present the main show on ITV, whilst Stephen Mulhern returned to present the spin-off show Britain's Got More Talent on ITV2. Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden returned for their eleventh series on the judging panel and Alesha Dixon as well as David Walliams returned for their sixth series. It was the first series that AO.com have sponsored the show, and the first series to have its live shows be filmed at Elstree Studios, following the closure of Fountain Studios.
Musician Tokio Myers was declared the winner of the series on 3 June. Magician Issy Simpson was runner-up while comedian Daliso Chaponda came third.
It was announced on 27 May 2017 on Britain's Got More Talent that for the first time in the show's 11-year history, there will be no judge vote during the live shows. This means that the two highest acts voted by the public will go through to the live final. The judges vote will be replaced by a judges' wild card, where the judges will get their own wild card to send an act through to the live final.
As part of the move to Elstree Studios, the show went under a revamp of its design. The new look studio is set on Stage 1 (also known as The George Lucas Stage), which is the largest studio at Elstree Studios. The studio is much bigger and will seat more people. The seating plan is now in a semi circle shape where the audience will sit around the side and opposite the stage. The studio has a color-changing chandelier at the center of the roof, along with a LED circle screen with the Britain's Got Talent logo displayed in gold. Britain's Got More Talent also went under a revamp with the studio getting a color change. The Britain's Got More Talent studio still has the window looking onto the main studio as normal.
