Half term week for BGT is probably also related to logistics for the audience, many of whom will be families with their children

I see Ant is now a father so congratulations to him, his wife gave birth probably just in time for him to still be able to present the live shows!

To be fair they’ve not done it in half term every year - 2012 it was moved to compete with The Voice, 2016 aired the week before for a random reason which wasn’t really clear (and meant that the first episode was scheduled against the final episode of The Voice on the BBC), and in 2020 the final auditions episode aired the week after half term, so had the live shows gone ahead when they were scheduled then they might not have aired in the half term either.
