London Community Gospel Choir got four yesses and flew through to the next round with a mash-up of popular songs.

However, viewers at home took to Twitter to point out that they have been in the spotlight for quite some time.

One wrote: "Aren’t the London Community Gospel Choir REALLY FAMOUS ALREADY.  The were on Blue Peter ALL THE TIME #BGT."

Another said: "Watching BGT. The London Community Gospel Choir are literally already world famous. They were on Blue Peter all the time when I was little. Ask anyone in the street to name a Gospel Choir and that’s who they say. They would score 89 on a Pointless question about Gospel."
