Last year magician Harry Moulding was crowned the winner, but who will it be this year?

Five acts secured a place in the final after receiving Golden Buzzers during the live semi-finals, while the remaining contestants were voted through by the public.

Whilst these 10 acts are confirmed, ITV could still add a twist like in previous years.

Will the judges choose to add a wildcard pick in the final line-up? Only time will tell.
