The finale line-up has been announced, featuring a dazzling array of 12 acts ready to battle it out. Among them are Binita and Harry, LED Dance Group The Blackouts, singers Vinnie McKee and Stacey Leadbeatter, guitarist Olly Pearson, and the flamboyant drag queen opera singer Jasmine Rice. Completing the list are dance troupe Ping Pong Pang, the witty Joseph Charm, and the emotive Post Office choir Hear Our Voice. However, not everyone's thrilled by the selection, with disgruntled viewers airing their grievances online. One exasperated fan remarked: "Once again those voting on #BGT are ridiculous! ! !" A second expressed discontent, stating: "#BGT needs to change its name to #BHT. Britain HAD talent." #BGT. And a comment read: "God #BGT has gone down the skids so boring these acts." While another lamented: "Well there's about 4 worth watching in the final. Probably get through it in 30 mins."

Ashleigh Butler set a record by winning the largest sum in the show's history, a staggering half a million with her dog Pudsey. Last year, the triumphant Sydnie Christmas walked away with £250,000 and performed at the Royal Variety Show.
