Who will win Britain's Got Talent: The Champions?
Fans are eager to see who will be crowned the ultimate champion of champions in the new series.
“Bars and Melody were good enough to get Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer when they first permed on BGT in 2014 and they go into next weekend’s final as the hot odds-on favourites to win the champions series,” said Coral’s John Hill.
1/3 - Bars and Melody
8
Leondre Devries, 18, and Charlie Lenehan, 20, formed in 2014 but grew in popularity when they appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014.
The song ‘Hopeful’, which they performed on the show went on to be the band’s first chart success, peaking at number four in the UK singe chart.
Since the release of that single Bars and Melody have produced two album titled ‘143’ and ‘Generation Z’, which has achieved platinum status in Poland and was Top 5 in Poland, the UK and Japan.
The band will tour the UK this year, stopping in cities including London, Manchester and Newcastle.
2/1 - Alexa Lauenburger
The 11-year-old German contestant, who previously won her country's version of BGT, bagged herself a place in the grand final in week two.
She performed with her eight dogs, involving flips, tricks and dances.
Her routine wowed hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who awarded her the Golden Buzzer.
4/1 - Twist and Pulse
8
Twist and Pulse are a dance duo from London who came runners-up in the fourth series of BGT in 2010.
The act is comprised of Ashley Glazebrook aka Twist and Glen Murphy aka Pulse.
Since losing out to Spelbound in the final, the dance duo have gone on to appear on a host of TV shows including Let's Dance for Comic Relief and Celebrity Juice to name a few.
5/1 - Darcy Oake
8
Darcy is an illusionist from Canada.
In his audition for BGT 2014, he impressed both the judges and the audience, to the extent that Simon Cowell said he was "without question the best magician ever on Britain's Got Talent."
That same year he had his own ITV show called Darcy Oake: Edge of Reality, which was hosted by Christine Lampard.
6/1 - Kseniya Simonova
It was all about the overseas acts in week one of Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions, with Kseniya Simonova nabbing the Golden Buzzer, courtesy of Amanda Holden.
The former winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent put on an incredible show, dedicated to the sick children she works with, in a moving sand art performance.
After Amanda pressed the Golden Buzzer for Kseniya, the mother-of-two said that talent comes in all shapes and sizes - even with the simple use of sand.
“Your sort of quiet skill requires no language, no nothing,” she shared.
“This is the champion of champions, with all nationalities, we’re going across the world. Your performance, nothing needed explaining, you did it all with just sand.”
Simon Cowell admitted he would have pressed the Golden Buzzer after being moved by Kseniya's touching performance.
8/1 - Stavros Flatley
The father and son duo wowed judges in week four with their Greek version of Michael Flatley’s Lord Of The Dance.
Simon Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer for the dance duo, automatically sending them through to the grand final.
Alesha said: “I'd love them to win the whole thing.”

10/1 - Mersey Girls
The all-female dance group beat the likes of BGT 2018 winner Lost Voice Guy in week two to win a spot in the final.
They were announced as being in the top three with Italy's Got Talent winner Antonio Sorgentone and America's Got talent winner and ventriloquist Paul Zerdin.
But the girl group came out on top in the superfan vote.
For dancer Julia Carlile, who was told she may never dance again due to her scoliosis, this was, of course, the icing on the cake.
12/1 - Paddy & Nico
8
In 2014, Paddy and Nico competed in the eighth series of Britain's Got Talent, where they finished ninth overall.
They were awarded the coveted Golden Buzzer by Amanda Holden.
The dancing duo consist of Paddy who is 85-years-old and Nico, who is 40 years younger at 45.
Paddy is the current Guinness World Record holder for the Oldest Acrobatic Salsa Dancer.
12/1 - Bello and Annaliese Nock
Bello and Annaliese Nock spun around on The Wheel of Death and straight into the final in week one with their electrifying and daring act.
Their mixture of humour and danger were a big hit with fans of the show.
The two originally appeared on America’s Got Talent, so Simon would have already been familiar with their work prior to seeing their shock performance on stage.
While Bello and Annaliese didn't get the Golden Buzzer, they were placed in the top three along with two other BGT veterans - Boogie Storm and Ashleigh and Sully.
But the American father and daughter act got the nod in the superfan vote.
Fans must already be wondering how they are going to top their first performance.
20/1 - Preacher Lawson
8
Preacher Lawson was the winner of week four of Britain's Got Talent: The Champions.
He made a naughty joke about his toilet business, which had the judges and audience in stitches.
The comic said he had to hold his breath for 11 seconds as he did the dirty.
Later, host Anthony McPartlin shocked viewers when he licked Preacher's face after he spoke about what he would do if he and Dec licked him.

Who are the Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions judges?
Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden judge the long list of acts in this revamped series.
Speaking ahead of the series premiere, Simon said: “I love the idea that we could do something which is different.
“Having done the American show, it's a very different kind of competition between an international act entering your main show and then representing their country on Champions.
"There is a very different mindset.”

Meanwhile, veteran judge Amanda added: “This show is the cream of talent from around the world. So there's nothing stupid, there's nothing to criticise, there's nothing that needs particularly any direction.
“It's all polished, we kind of all just sit back and enjoy ourselves. The acts are all ridiculously good, there’s nothing we can say to make them any better!
“But we tried and of course we each had our own Golden Buzzer including Ant & Dec. It was weird, but delightful situation to be in!”
