After six acts started out at the beginning of the show, it was whittled down to three, with Scot Soul, All The Kings Men and Leeds Contemporary Singers going up against each other.
Judges Gareth Malone, Kelis and Deke Sharon decided to put All The Kings Men and Leeds Contemporary Singers through to the final battle, where the groups went head to head to sing Adele's Rolling in the Deep.
The public were then left to decide who should be the winner, as the two groups sang one more song together, Say a Little Prayer.
Kelis then walked towards the winners as she sang alon, with Leeds Contemporary Singers stunned to see the Milkshake performer stepping their way.
However, the victory was marred slightly by sound issues which blighted the final, and the last sing-off between the two groups.
Viewers took to Twitter in their droves to complain about the mic issues, which seemed to affect members of All The King's Men.

There appeared to have been some sound problems earlier in the show too, and one viewer simply wrote: "Sound quality is awful! #PitchBattle".

As well as the technical issues, there was a moment of drama right at the start of the show when Will Young appeared to fall down the stairs.
As he linked fellow guest judge Bebe Rexha, Will suddenly stumbled and stuck his arm out to steady himself.
Bebe giggled as Will flailed around for a second, but fans of the show were unsure whether the singer - who is known to be a bit of a joker - had done it on purpose or not.
One wrote on Twitter: "Did @willyoung just nearly fall down the stairs there?? #PitchBattle" while another added: "Will Young going down the stairs was hilarious. He nearly totally lost his footing."

A third said: "Was that on purpose @willyoung? styled it out".
However another viewer thought it was on purpose, writing: "@willyoung was joking, pretending to fall down the stairs. I saw him myself, anyone who is a fan of Will Young knows he jokes".
