The fourth series of British talent competition programme Britain's Got Talent was broadcast on ITV, from 17 April to 5 June 2010;[1][2] due to live coverage of the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final on 22 May, the sixth audition episode of the series was pushed back a day to avoid clashing with it.
[3] Production on the fourth series during the filmed auditions required Louis Walsh to step in as a guest judge, after Simon Cowell became ill and unable to partake in certain sessions.
[4] The fourth series was won by gymnastic troupe Spelbound, with dance duo Twist and Pulse finishing in second place and drummer Kieran Gaffney third.
Both the production staff and the broadcaster decided for the live semi-finals to follow a similar format incorporated in the live final – each set of semi-final performances were held in one episode, followed by a break to allow ITV to air another programme or a news programme, so as to give time for the public vote to be counted.
The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this series: The Club Is Alive Usher ("OMG") and Dizzee Rascal & James Corden ("Shout")
