Ten acts have made it through to the highly-anticipated final show of Britain's Got Talent.
For the first time, all of the performers will face the public vote after a number of Golden Buzzers sent contestants straight through.
The Blackouts, Olly Pearson, Jasmine Rice, Joseph Charm, and magician Harry Moulding were the acts to receive the five golden buzzers.
The acts who won each of the semi-final shows were Vinnie McKee, Stacey Leadbeatter, Ping Pong Pang and Hear Our Voice.
Eight-year-old singer Binita Chetry was the last artist announced to win the public vote.
This comes as the long-running variety competition was engulfed with controversy over the 'biggest set up ever.'
Harry Moulding claimed that he was "going to create a special moment of real magic for one person" at the start of his act.
The performance was full of incredible tricks which involved pop star references and predictions before the live show.
One contributor - who was also named Harry - appeared in a pre-recorded VT that was filmed in Paris.
His girlfriend Jess was sat in the audience and she was 'randomly' chosen by the magician to come onto the stage.

At the end of the clip, Harry miraculously appeared in front of Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden and KSI.
He got down on one knee and popped the question to his partner, who tearfully accepted.
After KSI chose to send the act straight through to the final with his Golden Buzzer, droves of viewers took to social media as they claimed the show was 'rigged'.
Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one fan fumed: "Cowell said this boring idiot is the frontrunner - so if he wins (despite everyone watching losing the will to live) you'll know that this trashy, s***** programme is fixed."

A second claimed: "That was either an amazing magic trick or there was some absolute collusion going on there. Decent act but had to have been set up somehow."
"What the f*** do they expect him to do for the final now?? Biggest fix ever, magic my bloody a***," furiously wrote someone else.
As a fourth added: "Utterly rigged and the trick itself was too grand and ridiculous it shouldn't even be called magic. I know exactly how he did it, it was rigged."

Ofcom reject 14,000 Love Island complaints over bullying and gaslighting after ‘most complained about series in 4 years'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island will not be investigated by Ofcom - despite receiving more than 14,000 complaints about misogyny, bullying and mentally abusive behaviour. The last series of the show, which was won by Toni and Cach, was inundated with complaints throughout - making it the most offensive in four years. 4 Ofcom will not be taking action about any of the Love Island complaints Credit: Eroteme 4 Meg was accused of bullying during her time on the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In just one week of the show Ofcom received 9,000 complaints about alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira. It was the second most complained about Love Island week in history - the first was season seven when Faye Winter kicked off after Casa Amor with total of 29,101 in just one week. Despite viewer's concern, the regulator will not be taking any further action. A spokesperson said."We carefully assessed the complaints we received about this series of Love Island. "We recognise that emotionally charged or confrontational scenes can upset some viewers. "But, in our view, negative behaviour in the villa was not shown in a positive light, and contestants were seen supporting or apologising to each other. "We also took into account that the format of this reality show is well-established, and viewers would expect to see highs and lows as relationships and friendships are tested." Ofcom received 14,167 complaints about the ITV reality series, including 24 about spin-off show Love Island: Unseen Bits, with the highest number of complaints coming on July 24, which saw 3,549 complaints relating to alleged bullying behaviour towards contestant Shakira Khan. Other complaints related to further alleged bullying of Khan, as well as fellow contestants Toni Laites, Yasmin Pettet, Meg Moore and Helena Ford, concern over contestants' mental health throughout the series, and Dejon Noel-Williams's behaviour towards Meg. Further complaints were made about the show's producers bringing contestant Megan Forte Clarke back onto the programme after she was dumped from the villa, and alleged race and gender based discrimination. Love Island's 12th series ran from June 9 to August 4 and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer took home the £50k, while Khan and Harry Cooksley finished as runners-up.
