Update June 6th 2010 - Please note the following article relates to Britain’s Got Talent Series 3. For information on the latest series of the show, please click here.

As we enter the month of June, there is no sign of the public obsession with Britain’s Got Talent receding and with the national tour set to begin shortly, it’s not likely to die down any time soon. Requests to hire acts from the show to appear at corporate events, private parties or organised functions are flooding in on a daily basis so this month’s guide offers some information on the most bookable Britain’s Got Talent acts.

The cost to hire a BGT act can fluctuate significantly according to a number of factors including the media exposure they continue to receive after the show and the demand for their time that this creates. As a general guideline it is possible to book some former BGT acts from as little as £500. However, the majority of acts that make it through to the finals have fee expectations of £2,000 or more. Some of the most successful acts, such as 2009 winners Diversity, can command over £10,000 for a performance. For a more accurate indication of booking fees you can contact one of our entertainment agents using our online form.
