Hello and welcome to the final of Britain's Got Talent, 2017! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Well, here we go, then.
This is it.
After a week of semi-finals controlled by you, we're now down to the 11 finest acts the nation has to offer.
By the end of tonight, one of them will walk away with a life-changing prize - £250,000 and a spot on the bill at The Royal Variety Performance.
It's a great prize.
A very good prize.
We are kicking off tonight's final with some big news - the judges' wild card act.
Remember, this is the only act chosen by the judges in tonight's final.
And we can reveal that this year's wild card act is Drum roll, judges.
Drum roll.
Drum roll.
Thank you.
.
.
is Sarah Ikumu! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) And Sarah will be performing later in tonight's final.
Let's have a little hello and catch up with our judges and see how they're feeling tonight, the night of the big final, 2017.
Hello, David.
You look great.
Hello, darling.
How are you? You look lovely.
Before we come to you, Simon, can we ask you about the wild card? Was it a difficult decision? How long did it take? Well, I was the only one who turned up to the meeting.
I was there.
Not for long.
I was at the meeting.
For about two minutes.
Anyway, to be honest with you, there was only one person we all genuinely felt really, really deserved to be in the final this year, and we made the right choice.
It's a good choice.
The reaction she got in the studio that night was huge.
We've just got to keep the comments a little bit more subdued tonight.
We'll see David, apart from the wild card act, our viewers have chosen the line-up.
Have they got it right for the final? I think they have.
And the good thing is, we've got a great mix of talents.
Because we have magic, we have comedy, we have dancers, we have singers.
And we have you two.
And we've got you in a headdress.
You're not wearing that for the whole show, are you? I'm not wearing it for the whole show, no.
I'm gonna wear it just for the first 90% of the show.
(LAUGHTER) As David alluded to there, we've got three magicians, we've got two comedians in there.
We've got a choir.
Real variety tonight.
Great variety.
Honestly, I think the final is brilliant.
It's anyone's to play for.
It is.
That's what makes tonight so exciting.
Who's gonna win? I cannot call it.
It's hard to call, isn't it? Oh, my gosh, that's why I love it so much - absolutely anybody could, and every single one of those people would be a deserving winner.
Shall we get on with it? Yes.
Let's get on with the final of Britain's Got Talent, 2017.
First up to night are a singing double act who've got three things everybody wants - charm, talent And a bus pass that entitles them to free travel throughout the British Isles.
It's The Pensionalities! To make it through to the final tonight is something we never expected.
# We're gonna live forever # I just love you guys so much! It was an amazing feeling.
I don't see what anybody sees in us, I only see two old codgers.
Two old codgers.
(CHUCKLES) The Pensionalities! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) At our time of life, it's lovely.
I'm not being silly.
When you guys get old, you'll know what I'm saying.
Well done, mate.
People say we're an older version of Ant and Dec.
We're like brothers.
Are we? Well, I'm the eldest, remember that.
All right.
Music's an amazing thing, you know.
It makes you feel good, dun't it? Music is for everybody.
We don't sing anything sad, we like to walk out there and put a smile on people's faces.
We've had a great journey.
For us to come right through is beyond anything that we could have dreamed up for ourselves.
When we go out onto that stage tonight, we're gonna face the audience and have a ball.
Not a bad cup of tea, this.

Let's you and me have a smile.
We're smiling.
We're smiling.
They're all smiling.
David, let's start with you.
Sorry, who's Ant and Dec and who's The Pensionalities? (LAUGHTER) Can't tell.
You know what? That was a lovely, good, old-fashioned sing-song that we were all joining in with, and I'm sure all across the country people were.
And you have just put a smile on the face of the nation.
You have.
Well done.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Honestly, I could listen to you guys sing all night.
You're just so charming.
And you've just still got it.
And everyone has fallen in love with you.
I think you guys are in with a real chance tonight.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) It was lovely! It is proper, old-school entertainment that I just don't think you'd see on any other show but Britain's Got Talent.
A brilliant opener.
Well done, boys.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) I had more calls about you guys this week than anyone else.
Really? Genuinely.
So many people said "I really like these guys.
" Um, I think that you made a real impression.
I don't think this year would have been the same without you.
Cos what you've brought is, you've brought this real sense of fun and optimism.
And like the girls said, you're charming.
David, you could actually join this group.
Look at you.
I would love to.
I can't sing a note, unfortunately.
Doesn't Anyway, what I want to say is, I want to thank you for coming on the show this year.
This is the most open final we've ever had, so you're in with a shot.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Thank you, judges.
This is National Smiling Week.
National Smiling Week? Let's you and me have a smile.
Pensionalities Smiling Week.

The vote doesn't open till we've seen all of tonight's acts.
Let's hear it one more time for The Pensionalities! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) They just make you smile.
They do.
Time for a quick break now, but we'll be right back with Alesha's Golden Buzzer act, MerseyGirls.
See you for that in a few minutes.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) (LAUGHS) Welcome back to the final of Britain's Got Talent where all our acts are chasing the prize that money can't buy - a spot on the bill at The Royal Variety Performance.
And a prize that money CAN buy - £250,000 in cash, which would cost you £250,000 in cash.
He's good, this kid.
Next up tonight is an act who've impressed everybody on Britain's Got Talent from day one.
Alesha over here gave them her Golden Buzzer.
and they made it through Thursday night's semi-final.
You've guessed it - it's MerseyGirls.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) We are MerseyGirls and we are dancers from The Wirral.
We've all lived in Merseyside the whole of our lives and this group's been together for two years and we've danced together since we were five.
It really touched me.
So much so, that I'm gonna do It's just been a whirlwind of a journey.
Performing at the semi-finals was such an amazing experience.
All we wanted to do was make Alesha proud, and hopefully that's what we've done.
That dance was stunning.
DEC: MerseyGirls! When I'm dancing, I do just feel like a normal kid.
I just feel like there's a weight lifted off my shoulders and I forget about my condition.
Tonight could be my last performance with these girls before my surgery, which is a really scary thought.
My operation is a risk cos it could mean I can't dance again.
The support's been incredible.
Simon offering to help pay for my surgery was so overwhelming.
Dancing on stage with your best friends is the best thing Our biggest dream would be to win Britain's Got Talent.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) # So many times has it all been said and done # But in the end it's the fight that's just begun # Understand that it's days like these # When the world is so hard to please # In you, my heart has found a home # Cos it's not about me # It's not about who I want to be # It's not about you # You know that we are better off as two # Cos we are, we are, we are we are more # Yeah, we are, we are, we are, we are more # Together (It's all right, all right) # It's all right (it's all right, all right) # It's all right (it's all right, all right) # It's all right # It's all right, all right # It's all right, it's all right # It's all right, it's all right # It's all right, together # It's not about who I want to be # It's not about you # You know that we're better off as two # Cos we are, we are, we are, we are more # Yeah, we are, we are, we are, we are more # Together # Together # Together # (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Well done.
Well done.
Look at that, girls.
Look at it! Look at it.
Alesha, let's start with you, they're your Golden Buzzer act.
I bet you feel relieved that that's over, right? But like you could do it all over again at the same time, because you were up there having the time of your lives.
And it was clear for everyone to see.
I've genuinely fallen in love with you.
I'm so proud of you.
Five gorgeous girls up there, fighting, do what you love.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) And Simon, could I just say thank you.
Thank you.
Well done, girls.
That was fabulous.
Yeah, it was another outstanding performance.
It's just joyous to watch you.
It's the friendship thing for me.
And your face, blondie, is just a picture! I don't know her name, I'm sorry.
What's your name? Me? No, blondie.
Annie.
Your face, Annie, throughout is just so passionate and so determined, I can't take my eyes off well, all of you, but you especially do make me laugh.
It's brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Yeah, I have to say, girls, we've had a lot of dance groups on this show, and obviously Diversity one of the best, but you bring something different, you know? Every performance, you've given it 100%.
Your music choices are outstanding.
And that's why we can relate to what you're doing.
Um, and yeah, we're really, really happy for you girls.
You might be in with a shot tonight after that song, you know that.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) David.
Yeah, I mean the first time I saw you girls perform, I thought you had a really strong chance of winning the entire series.
On the strength of tonight, I really believe that.
Well done, it was fantastic.
DEC: Well done, girls.
The only dance act in the final and they say you've got a shot.
If you agree and you think MerseyGirls are this year's winners, call Voting doesn't open until we've seen all 11 acts.
One more time - MerseyGirls! (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Now for possibly the most important part of this year's final - your last chance to use the BGT app.
Aww! It's sponsored by AO.
com and this bad boy has got it all.
It's got predictions.
Backstage news.
And a BGT buzzometer.
Do not delay, download it now on your Smartphone or your tablet.
Time for a break, but we'll be right back with Kyle Tomlinson, Ned Woodman and DNA.
We'll see you in a few minutes.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Welcome back to Britain's Got Talent and a final bursting with variety.
From an eight-year-old magician to an 84-year-old singer, this final has got something for everybody tonight.
Next up is the soulful singer who got David's golden buzzer and then made it through Monday's semi-final.
He is ready to sing his heart out for a place at the Royal Variety.
It's Kyle Tomlinson! My name's Kyle, I'm 15 and I'm from Sheffield and I'm a singer.
To be part of Britain's Got Talent's final this year is just amazing.
I've worked hard over the years to get my voice to where it is.
I think you need to go away and work with a singing teacher or something.
I'm sorry.
Today it's a no.
I love to sing.
I wanted to fight for it.
# Hallelujah! # I thought it was really good.
I was super glad I came back this year and auditioned.
I loved the semi-final.
The goal was to make David proud.
That was an astonishing performance.
I think I did that.
Kyle Tomlinson! The type of the songs I love to sing is opera, musical theatre.
I've always wanted to be in Les Miserables in the West End.
Being here makes me think I'm one step closer to achieving my dream.
This moment is really, really big for me.
It could really change my life.
I'm just gonna give it my all and make David and my family proud.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) # Heart beats fast # Colours and promises # How to be brave? # How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? # But watching you stand alone # All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow # One step closer # I have died every day waiting for you # Darling, don't be afraid # I have loved you for a thousand years # I'll love you for a thousand more # Waiting for you # Darling, don't be afraid # I have loved you for a thousand years # I'll love you for a thousand more # And all along I believed I would find you # Time has brought your heart to me # I have loved you for a thousand years # I'll love you for a thousand more # Heart beats fast # Colours and promises # All of my doubts suddenly go away somehow # (WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) And breath.
Breath.
You've done it.
You've done it.
That's it.
Well done.
How proud are you of your Golden Buzzer? I couldn't be prouder.
I'm just so in awe of your talent, Kyle because I have no discernible talent of my own.
And that was extraordinary.
It was brilliant.
And before the show I was saying, "Seize this moment for yourself.
" Enjoy it.
And you really did.
This was a really golden moment.
And whatever happens tonight, you should be super proud of that.
That was amazing.
Thanks, David.
Simon, we come to you next.
Yeah, you know what, Kyle? What you said in the V about wanting to be in a show like Les Mis.
Erm where you started from, I didn't have that much hope throughout the competition - I've seen a lot of singers like you, heard a lot of singers like you.
It was good.
Then you did the semis and I thought, "This is so much better.
" Then tonight, with this song, I was actually, once again amazed at what you just did, Kyle.
Thank you so much.
May I say something? It's really important.
If you want to have a career in music now, sometimes record deals are the easy way to go.
With you, Monday morning, you might start getting phone calls from agents and producers in the West End.
You've now got the confidence because of what you did tonight to audition and maybe get a part like that in a show which, for you, would be amazing and it could happen.
Thank you.
Amanda.
Honestly, that song has so much meaning for me.
My daughter, Lexi, who is here with me tonight, every time I hear it on the radio, I cry.
I've loved her forever.
Obviously, she's my daughter.
It's a beautiful song from Twilight which we watched together.
You owned it this evening.
You really did make it your own.
You have the most stunning soulful voice.
Honestly, I think you could possibly win this.
(WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Thank you.
Clearly you're still trembling with nerves.
It's the scariest, biggest night of your life but you took that energy and you put it into that song and it was magnificent.
Well done.
Can I just say something? Honestly, I never thought I'd get to the final and everyone's support that I've got is just absolutely unreal.
(CHOKES BACK TEARS) So I just want to say a massive thank you.
He's a nice young man.
What a lovely young man.
If you want to crown Kyle this year's winner, the number to call is - On the mobile - Or vote for free by the app but not until we've seen the last act.
Ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Tomlinson! Well done.
Awh.
What a lovely kid.
Right.
Next up is the nine-year-old standup who has taken the mickey out of the judges twice.
Once this show finishes, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
They'd fit you, though.
What? His shoes.
They'd fit you.
He's size 3 as well.
Don't be ridiculous.
I'm 3½.
Oh, yeah.
You're 3½! It's Ned Woodman.
I'm Ned.
I'm nine and I'm a comedian.
I live in Maidstone with my family.
I have one brother and two sisters.
I like making my brother and sister laugh.
As well as telling jokes, I like climbing trees, reading and doing cricket.
And gymnastics.
To be in the final of Britain's Got Talent is really amazing.
If I won Britain's Got Talent, I'd probably buy my family a holiday.
And buy myself a house.
Performing at the semi-final was incredible.
It's tough being up here.
Bright lights shining in my eyes.
And that's only from Simon's teeth.
(LAUGHTER) The runner-up of tonight's public vote I was really, really scared when I was standing there waiting.
.
.
Ned Woodman! I couldn't believe it when Ant and Dec said I was through.
Well done, mate.
It was the happiest I've been so far when My ultimate dream is to win Britain's Got Talent.
Cos a comedian has never won and I'd love to be the first.
Tonight, I'm not just gonna pick on the judges.
Celebrities, you'd better watch out! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) # Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah # Hi.
Just for.
Who here is feeling savage? AUDIENCE: Yeah! Just one quick question.
Who here absolutely hates the Mexican wave? I want a show of hands starting from over here and moving all the way across.
See, it wasn't that bad.
Magici (ANT PROMPTS FROM OFFSTAGE) Magicians are doing so well on the show this year.
So I've decided to do some magic of my own.
Oh, wait.
Erm David.
Here I have an envelope.
Could you just please look after this? Don't let anybody see it and protect it.
Of course.
With all your heart.
Thank you.
So, for my first trick, I'm going to make the judges's smiles disappear.
Oh, wait.
I already did that by getting through to the final.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Calm down.
Calm down.
After my last performance I decided to give you guys a break.
AMANDA: Hurrah! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's long enough.
I just want to thank Ant and Dec for all the money they've spent voting for me to get through.
The lengths some people go to just to make themselves look taller! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) How scary were those clowns last night? I haven't seen wacky costumes and terrifying makeup like that since Sharon Osbourne was a judge.
(AUDIENCE OOHS) You've got to love shows like Britain's Got Talent and X Factor.
Where else do you get to see that tedious singing robot? Gary Barlow.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND OOHS) I was at the school disco and sat by the dancefloor was a girl that I really liked.
So I plucked up the courage to ask her if she wanted to dance.
And she did! Which was lucky for me.
Cos otherwise, I wouldn't have a place to sit.
(LAUGHTER) One Direction have gone their separate ways.
That's ironic.
Now Now, for those of you who don't know what ironic means Simon .
.
it's like these guys judging a talent competition.
(OOHS AND APPLAUSE) And just before I go, I'd like to remind you to vote Ned.
I'd love to have a chance to perform in front of royalty.
But if I did, I know it wouldn't be Prince Philip.
That dude has got some savage material! But he's retiring from his royal duties.
So who's gonna travel the world offending people now? Hel-lo! (WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Oh, and the envelope.
Er David.
Yes.
Do me a solid and post that to Buckingham Palace.
/font It's just a letter of apology for what I might say if I win.
Thank you.
(WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Well done.
Go, Ned! We're friends again? Yeah, we are.
He laughs when he says we're friends again.
Simon, let's start with you.
I love the fact we keep laughing every time he destroys us night after night.
You've made us look really horrible again.
Thank you! Are you sure I'm not your dad? A hundred percent.
Oh, good.
I just thought I'd check.
Look, you know what? You're on the verge of being annoying and likeable.
Which I think Well, I've made a career out of that so it's fine.
Hang on! What about the likeable bit? Well, I'm still likeable at times.
You know what? I have to hand it to you.
You have stuck to what you've done.
You've taken the pee out of us.
It has worked.
You are funny erm and.
.
er God help the Royal Family if you win.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) David, you know how hard it is for a comedian especially in the final.
Er.
well, you know, suddenly I'm really excited about the idea of you performing at the Royal Variety and er blowing any chance you might have of getting an OBE.
(LAUGHTER) But yeah, you know what? It takes real guts to get up there for anybody.
You're nine years old and doing the hardest thing to do on this show, which is comedy, and I think you did fantastically well tonight.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) David's right.
I have so much admiration for you.
You must have been so nervous.
But we would have never known.
You are trouble and I love it.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Yes.
I'm just relieved, Ned.
I honestly thought that Sharon Osbourne gad was for me.
Erm so sorry about that Sharon but I'm happy it wasn't for me.
Maybe.
You did really well.
There was some good material in And Alesha said, comedy is a lonely platform.
and you stood there on your own and you did really Well, I kind of said it but Alesha said he was scared.
It is a lonely place to be when you're on the stage alone.
And you did an excellent job so well done.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Well done, Ned.
You've done it.
You've performed in the final.
If you want to give Ned a royal appointment, the landline number is - From your mobile - Or vote for free via the app but not until we've seen every act.
One more time, Ned Woodman! Troublemaker! Next up are a mind-reading double act.
Hey, now, did you know I can read minds as well? No.
Yeah.
I can do it.
I'll do it now.
Watch this.
Go on.
Right.
I might need two hands for this one.
Ha-ha! There we go.
What am I thinking? You're thinking, "There's no way he can read my mind.
" How does he do it? How do I do it? How does he do it? It's DNA.
We are mind readers.
We are gonna go on an imaginary journey font color="#11FF11 Simon, read that word out loud.
Probably.
David, the word you chose.
Probably.
Probably.
We are DNA.
The reaction that we got was the stuff dreams are made of.
DNA! The dynamic of our act is what sets us apart.
Sometimes, I transmit information to Darren.
Other times, he transmits information to me.
It's better when I do it so You're my best friend I'm transmitting something to you now.
Got it? Yeah.
(LAUGHTER) Can this be a single act now rather than a double act? For millions of people to watch us perform, is something you dream of and now it's a reality.
To have our own show.
I guess that's the ultimate dream.
We've got something special for you.
Something we've worked for years on perfecting.
Been waiting for this opportunity all of our We are DNA.
(ECHOES) DNA.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Good evening.
People often ask us how we realised we could read minds.
In truth? We started thinking thoughts at the same time.
When we started our journey here on Britain's Got Talent, we asked Amanda to think of a contact and told you who it was.
Simon, we went on an imaginary journey in your mind and revealed every decision you made.
Amanda, would you stand up and join me at the other side of your chair? (APPLAUSE) (AUDIENCE MEMBER WOLF WHISTLES) We're gonna generate a random number.
Erm you're gonna verify when the number goes into the calculator what gets said out loud, you're gonna verify it goes into here.
Simon, I'd like you to think back to a significant moment in your life.
In years, how old were you? Seven.
Seven.
Perfect.
We're gonna go times.
And Alesha, I'd like you to think of a random four-digit number for me.
OK.
Say it out loud, please.
Seven, six, seven, six.
Seven, six, seven, six.
Times by We're gonna keep this bit between us, Amanda.
I'd like you to put in the pin code to your mobile phone.
Oooh, cheeky.
We're gonna press equals now.
I'm gonna turn this towards the camera.
We've generate the number at random.
Ant, I'm gonna ask you to write it down on the board at the centre of the stage.
Amanda, starting from the left, I'd like you to say the digits aloud.
Then Ant will write them down.

Here? Yes.
I'd like you to think of that word.
OK.
Just concentrate on that word for me.
Just say it to yourself in your mind.
David, I'd like you to hold the book against you, please.
Keep the place.
In fact, you can take a seat for me.
I want everybody here to understand what happened.
David choose one of his own books and a page at random.
He then selected a line at random and you're thinking of a word that's your own choice.
Concentrate on that word for me.
You could have gone for any word on that page.
Correct.
/fon Just say it in your mind over and over again.
I need Darren to be able to tell you what word you're thinking of.
David, without looking at the page you stopped on, do you know the page number? No.
For the first time, please look at the page you stopped on and say out loud what page number it is.
31.
31? I got very close.
I'm gonna change it.
I did get 81.
Excuse me.
But David, you stopped on a word.
A word at random.
I'm gonna write down the word I think you stopped on.
In a loud and clear voice, please say out loud what word you have? Lady.
Lady? That's exactly what I've got.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Of course, at the beginning of our performance, we generated a random number and that number was written down as being on full view since we began.
The last time we were on this stage, David, we asked you to think of a word and we told you where that word was in the dictionary and it was on page number 1414.
And if you look here, we have 1414.
Since we began our journey on Britain's Got Talent, four judges have made decisions every step of the way.
Amanda, in our audition, we asked you to think of a number on your telephone - It was your sister Debbie and the number was 415.
Simon, we then asked you imagine a door and the door number you imagined was 717.
If we add those numbers together, those numbers equal 29.
If I got like this and like this If we add the numbers two, seven and twenty, They also equal 29.
Now you may think that's a coincidence, but it's not.
Since the moment we've met you, we've been influencing every decision you've made.
If I've gone like this and like this.
I'd like to show you something interesting.
Every single letter of the alphabet has a corresponding number.
Two An example.
A is one.
Simon, you're looking confused.
B is two; C is three.
Two is B.
Seven is G.
20 is T.
4 is D.
14 is N.
1 is A.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) We have influenced every decision you made since the moment we met.
And we now end our journey here at Britain's Got Talent.
We are DNA.
(WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Well, gents Not quite sure what went on there! David, let's start with you.
It was like going to university! It was very it was incredible.
I mean, the way your minds work is extraordinary.
It felt like there was perhaps a little stumble in there, but that just shows how hard what you do is.
Now all you need to do is influence the public to vote for you.
Alesha? (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Stumble or not, you're one of the most original acts this series.
Your presentation is superb.
You engage the whole audience.
We can't take our eyes off you.
I just think you're fantastic, and so many people have been talking about DNA - like David said, influence people at home to phone cos I think you're great.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) You are such a fascinating couple of blokes.
It's very eerie and spooky, and I have no idea about how technical it was, but as the others have said, you have great showmanship, and I just can't take my eyes off you when you're on stage.
It's spooky.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) OK.
This is one of the first times I've seen something go wrong, but that makes you human.
Listen, what you do, honestly, is incredible.
I've got to know you, we got to meet each other, you're really nice guys.
You deserve this break.
I'll be honest with you.
What you did, cos I'm a bit thick, what you were doing at the end, I found it very complicated.
You know? I just - it needed that big reveal at the end, and the way it was explained, for me, didn't quite come over properly.
So but that's just me.
Not everyone else is thick.
So I think that you have a shot still.
I just I'm just frustrated for you, that the end didn't have that big punchline I think it needed.
OK.
(APPLAUSE) To be fair, there was a slight stumble, but you move on, you carry on, you get through the act.
What we do is risky.
Exactly! You take risks every time, don't you? Absolutely.
Some come off.
Listen, well done.
And if DNA are your winners, the number to call, from a landline, is: Or from a mobile: Or vote for free via the app.
Voting doesn't open until the last act has performed.
One more time, DNA, ladies and gentlemen! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) I think I've got it! Right! Five acts down, six to go.
When we come back, we've got Matt Edwards and the Missing People Choir.
See you for those in a few minutes! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Welcome back to Britain's Got Talent.
For the first time ever, all five Golden Buzzers have made it to the final! That's right! Next up is a man who mixes magic and comedy to create Magedy! .
.
great entertainment.
Oh.
It's our Golden Buzzer act, Matt Edwards! I'm Matt Edwards, 34, and I'm a comedy magician.
I thought nothing could top my first audition.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Matt Edwards! But I'm through to the live final.
That's crazy! That's your name, sunshine! You're in the final! I started performing magic when I was five years old.
My dad bought me a silly trick.
I practised and practised, and it's the only job I've ever had since.
I thought for years and years about entering Britain's Got Talent, and I guess I was really scared to do it, because I didn't know what people would think of me.
Wah! But it's the best decision I've ever made.
It was so important for me to make Ant and Dec proud.
They're the ones that gave me this opportunity.
During my semifinal performance, Simon Cowell turned round and said: If I was launching a new game show, I would book you to front it.
It's always been a dream of mine.
Of course I'd love to present a TV show! Who wouldn't? You never know - after this, somebody might snap me up.
Tonight's final is one of the most important moments of my life.
I've built up my entire career looking for this break, and now it's been given to me, I want it more than ever.
Hello! So for my final performance, I wanted to make a really big entrance.
# STRAUSS: Thus Spake Zarathustra (SCREAMS) (ALL GASP) Aargh! (CHEERING) Sorry! I fell! (GIGGLES) Hello! ALL: Hello! Stop! I don't have much time.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, live, to the stage, my beautiful, wonderful assistant, Declan.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Stay there, stay there.
Declan, you have a very important job.
I need you to take this box and these pieces of paper, and this pen, and run over and get everybody in the audience to write down names of famous people and put them in the box.
Cheers, babe.
OK.
Sorry, I shouldn't call him babe.
That's my pet name for Ant.
Anyway, the last time I was here, during my semifinal performance, the judges said I didn't really have enough time, and they wanted to see more.
Would you like to see more? ALL: Yes! (GABBLES) Would you like to see more? ALL: Yes! They only give you two minutes, so I'll have to do this quickly.
Ladies and gentlemen (GABBLES) .
.
and then end up with David Walliams' pants inside my pocket.
Are you ready? ALL: Yes! Ha, ha, ha! Then please watch carefully, because this is called Finger Manipulation.
ALL: Ooh! It goes like this.
# Da da de da de de # Uh, uh, uh, uh, ooh, ooh, # Da da da da, ba-de da pah Wait for another one - # Da da da da, pah Naa naa naa naa naa, pah Can't get that one.
# Da da, de da Now what's he doing? # Ooh ooh ooh Aha! Now his finger's in his ear.
# Mm mm mm mm mm mm Now his eye - this one looks disgusting It's out of his head! And the other one is off! Switch them, you have - Oh my God! I can't see a thing! Where's everybody gone? Don't worry, I'll fix it.
(SCREAMS) # And that's the end of that! # Thanks! So (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Stop! I haven't got enough time! But during that misdirection, I would like to say, I now have David's pants inside my pocket.
Ooh, they're nice ones.
(WHISTLING) (SNIFFS) Ugh.
(LAUGHTER) Doesn't matter.
David, as I've taken your pants, it's only fair to show you a quick trick.
Declan! Quick! Run over to David and David, take a piece of paper out of the box.
Inside that box you will see the name of a celebrity.
Have a look and remember who that celebrity is, and don't tell anybody.
Do you understand, Dave? Yes, I do.
I love you too.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to attempt to read David's mind and then paint you a picture of your celebrity on this easel, but using something very bizarre - ladies and gentlemen, check this out.
Ah! A tiny bit of fire OK.
Watch this.
Can you see it? You will.
Don't worry.
AUDIENCE: Ooh! Looking good.
It's looking good.
David, keep concentrating on that famous person.
Getting there.
Ha! One there, one there.
Oh, I think I know who it is.
Ladies and gentlemen I think I know It's not one person, is it, David? No.
Is it two people? Yes.
Got it.
I've got it.
Ladies and gentlemen I think that's right, I think I've got it Perfect.
Right, I'm going to go for it.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the lovely David, for the first time, can you tell everybody here who is the celebrity, David, that you are thinking of? Ant and Dec.
Ant and Dec! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a very terrible picture, but nonetheless a picture, of the very beautiful (CHEERING) (APPLAUSE) (CHEERING AND WHISTLING) Yes! Thank you very much! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) How has he done that? It's us! Well done, Matt! Come down! Well done, well done! That's amazing! Alesha, we'll start with you.
Wow! That was an entrance and a half.
I just love your laugh.
It's amazing.
The trick's brilliant, but I prefer you just just being you, and silly.
You're so charming.
I think children are absolutely going to love you.
Thank you! Do they, guys? (CHEERING) There's a beautiful energy about you.
You're very funny and very likeable.
I think I've said it before, it's that kind of old-school variety, which I was allowed to stay up and watch.
You remind me of that, but with a kind of modern, silly twist, and I absolutely understand why Ant and Dec chose you.
You are so cute, and so charming.
Matt, you know what we've seen from you, from the minute we met, I can kind of see what you've done in your career over the years.
You do an awful lot of things.
I think what I would take away from your performances and the final, is that it's your personality which is your USP.
And what I hope is going to happen, is that someone, on the back of this, will take a shot with you - it's not even a risk, actually - and say, look, you are someone who's just got a brilliant personality, very very likeable.
I'm not even going to judge what I saw tonight, because I want to remember you over the three performances we've seen.
For me, it's someone who actually needs a break, and probably will get one off the back of this.
I hope the public vote for you, cos you deserve it.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) This is right up my street.
I really love silly humour.
It reminded me a little bit of Harry Hill, who I love, Lee Evans, who I love.
You are a very funny man.
I hope people vote for you tonight.
Thank you! Whatever happens, Matt, we couldn't be more proud of you.
Thank you so much! Well done! You're great.
Well done.
If you want Matt to win Britain's Got Talent, vote for him.
The number, from a landline, is: And from your mobile: Or vote for free via the app.
but not until we've seen all of our finalists.
One more time, Matt Edwards! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Ah! Now, next up tonight are a choir who made it to the final just 24 hours ago.
Indeed they did.
They delivered a moving and passionate performance and have done every time we've seen them.
Tonight won't be any different, I'm sure.
It's The Missing People Choir.
Taking part in Britain's Got Talent has given us hope.
# In my dreams, I see your face When we performed on this show, it was absolutely exhilarating.
And we knew we were getting our message out to millions of people.
# I miss you # Oh my God.
(CHEERING) The runner-up is When Dec said we were through to the final .
.
Missing People Choir! (CHEERING) .
.
it was just so uplifting.
We knew we had a chance, but we didn't know we'd get there.
It means so much, because everybody in the choir understands how each of us feels, having someone who's missing.
For our semifinal performance, we showed pictures of missing people from all over the UK, including some of our own missing loved ones.
Tonight, we want to do the same.
Our dream is to reunite just one missing person with their family.
We are hoping that Britain's Got Talent will help us do just that.
(CHEERING) The act has captured the nation's heart with the power of their message.
They're hoping they can be the first choir to win Britain's Got Talent.
It's time for the beautiful sounds of Missing People Choir.
(CHEERING) # I picked up your shirts # This morning # I don't know why # I don't know why # Those unfinished conversations # We used to have # Still speak to me (ALL) # You never leave my mind # So much of you # Is left behind # You # Took my days with you # Took my heart with you # You # I keep thinking that you'll be calling # Everyone says that it's all in my head # And I can't accept it yet # I can't comprehend this # And pretend that I don't care # Any place I want to be # I always see you there # You # Took my life # With you # (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Thank you, guys.
Um, Amanda.
Oh, gosh.
Wow.
If ever there was a more perfect song, with the most apt lyrics That song is from The Bodyguard.
No, it's not.
It's Ghost.
Ghost.
And it's one of your most favourite songs, I know.
Just seeing those words on the back wall, and listening to your harmonies, and that arrangement, was so touching, so moving.
(CHEERING) I've said it before - I really don't know how you're all still standing, and standing so strong as well.
Congratulations.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) I have to hand it to you guys.
From day one, you've been incredibly honest, very to-the-point.
Like I said before, you're not professional singers, but with your message, and what we got to know about you and the cause Like Amanda says, with the lyrics of that song, it was the absolute perfect way for you to come into the final.
(APPLAUSE) Obviously it's hard, what you do.
But yeah, I have a lot of respect for what you've done.
I think it's really important, and I'm happy that you've made it here tonight.
(CHEERING) I don't know how you keep it together because it's so emotional, watching you all sing, and to sing about something that you care so much about, people you're missing, I don't know how you get through it.
It's extraordinarily moving, and it's beautiful.
Well done.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Again, you guys just proved how powerful music is, and how music connects and unites all of us.
We were all there with you, with every lyric, every word you sang.
I honestly think that's your best performance we've seen.
(CHEERING) And I think that right now, in the competition, you are the ones to beat.
Well done.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
Really, really beautiful.

But not yet - voting opens when we've seen the last acts.
One more time, everybody, Missing People Choir.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Time for a quick break now, but when we come back we've got this year's wild card, Sarah Ikumu! We'll see you for that in just a few minutes! Welcome back to the final of Britain's Got Talent, 2017! Next up is this year's wild card act.
It's Sarah Ikumu.
When Simon pushed his Golden Buzzer, that was the best feeling.
Not only was I happy, but I was able to make my family proud.
For the semi-final, I was really nervous.
# In the purple rain # I have to say, you are the best singer that's ever come on.
I was really amazed, because you would never think that Simon Cowell would ever tell you that.
The winner is When I was waiting for the results, it felt like an eternity.
I really didn't know what to expect because Tokio was amazing.
Tokio Myers! When I didn't get through, I was quite disappointed.
But now that I've got the opportunity, I kind of just want to prove to everyone that I can bounce back.
Every stage of Britain's Got Talent, I'm closer to my dream.
And I want it even more.
It would be my dream to sing in Dreamgirls in the West End.
I would be so excited.
Tonight, I think people will see more of an emotional performance.
I think people will see a different side to me and enjoy it.
I almost didn't make it through to the final, I'm not going to let it slip by this time.
I'm going to come back even stronger.
# You're broken down and tired # Of living life on a merry-go-round # And you can't find the fighter # But I see it in you # So we gonna walk it out # And move mountains # We gonna walk it out # And move mountains # And I'll rise up # I'll rise like the day # I'll rise up # In spite of the ache # I'll rise up # And I'll do it a thousand times again # For you # For you # For you # For you # We will rise # We will rise # We'll rise # Oh, oh-oh-oh # When the silence isn't quiet # And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe # And I know you feel like dying # But I promise we'll take the world to its feet # And move mountains # And I'll rise up # Like the day # I'll rise # I'll rise # I'll rise # I'll rise like the day # I'll rise up # In spite of the ache # I'll rise up # And I'll do it a thousand times again # For you # For you # For you # For you # (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Well done.
Fantastic.
Nice to have you back.
Lovely to have you back.
Simon, she did you proud there.
Slightly! What a great song and a great lyric for you this week.
Thank you.
I think in a weird way, not getting to automatically might have been the best thing that has ever happened to you.
I see that happen to people, how they react to it.
Backstage, you were not sulky, you got your second chance, and it was a killer performance.
Like I said to someone earlier on, what you said about what could happen to you after this co I don't know what way it is going to go, in terms of the path, you are going to have a massive career in the music business.
You are the comeback kid.
I saw you backstage.
I saw how disappointed you were.
You have come back and you have comeback to win and you are the one to watch tonight.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) I don't know what to say.
It was just so good, it was electric.
That was a masterclass in vocal gymnastics.
I think we saw a different side to you tonight.
You are like an old soul, you sung with such a motion, fantastic.
I think that's the thing to not forget here, is that although you are an old soul and you sing with such maturity, you are actually a young girl standing on the stage all by yourself, Delivering the most extraordinary performance.
Honestly, you did so well again.
If you think Sarah should come back and take the crown, the number to call from a landline is Or vote for free via the app.
But not until you have seen all 11 acts.
One more time, the wild card, Sarah Ikumu! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Wow.
Wow, that was strong stuff.
Time for a quick break now.
But still to come we've got Daliso Chaponda, Issy Simpson And Tokio Myers.
See you in a few minutes.
Welcome back to the final of Britain's Got Talent 2017.
Next up tonight is a comedian who was Amanda's Golden Buzzer act and the winner of last night's semi-final.
It's Daliso Chaponda! I'm Daliso Chaponda.
I am 37, and I am from Malawi, but I live in Manchester.
I have opened for a lot of comedians.
I have auditioned for lots of stuff.
I work hard.
Sometimes you feel, "Am I doing the wrong path?" My life has changed now.
Just getting to the finals changes my life.
Having Amanda pick me gave me more pressure because I did not want to let her down.
Thank you, Amanda, for pushing that buzzer.
I talk about a lot of uncomfortable subjects.
And I try to make them something you laugh at.
But it is a fine line.
I am black.
200 years ago, this would have been an auction.
But I really like it when Amanda laughs.
She puts her hands up, like that.
And I got two of them.
So I am like, "Yes, I did it!" The winner of the last semi-final is That pause is mean.
Daliso Chaponda! But the moment where you hear your name, it is wonderful.
I want to be on stage - cameras, lights.
Your phone should be ringing, offering you your own show.
And you deserve it.
Thank you.
I feel like Britain's Got Talent has made it that I could be the guy on stage at the Apollo.
(CHEERING) Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It's so good to be back.
You have had Kenya, now Malawi.
This part of the show has been sponsored by the old British colonies.
(LAUGHTER) People have been so supportive and wonderful since the show yesterday.
People walking up the street, saying, "You were great.
I hope you're better tonight.
You were good.
You were good.
I hope you're better.
" You couldn't do this in any other part of your life.
Could you go on a date and be, like, "My ex was really kinky.
I hope you're better.
" (LAUGHTER) It is hard to be romantic, actually.
I remember my ex looked at me once and she said, "You know, what, Doliso? I would die for you.
" I panicked.
All that came out was, "Thank you.
" There was a long, uncomfortable silence.
And the she went, "Would you .
.
die for me?" I said, "I'd take a punch.
" (LAUGHTER) And she punched me in the face.
(APPLAUSE) I know you are all worried right now.
Because you've had that post-Brexit divorce talks.
Will you get a good deal or bad deal? If you get a bad deal, don't worry, I have a backup plan for you.
Join the African Union.
We'll take you.
Think about it, your money's been devalued, you had MPs fiddling the expenses.
You're practically African.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDS) I know I cross the line sometimes.
Simon said he liked that I am non-PC.
And the brilliant thing is in the UK, I can be non-PC.
I can cross the line and the worst that will happen is one of you will send a letter of complaint.
I can do jokes about your government.
No problem.
This is not the same rules in Africa.
You think I would go to Zimbabwe and do a Robert Mugabe joke? You think I would do a Kim Jong Un joke in North Korea? It would be Britain's Got Arrests.
I love being here.
I do get some weird racism sometimes.
But it's very subtle, little things, like I was in store the other day.
Somebody saw me and thought I was going to steal something.
I just had a bit of fun.
Can you help me? I want to steal this.
(LAUGHTER) But I'll admit racism happens in all directions.
It's not just white on black.
It happens black on white.
It happened in my own family.
I was so ashamed.
A friend of mine from Denmark decided to go backpacking across Africa.
He passed through Malawi.
A lot of my uncles had seen white people on television, bu They got mighty excited.
I got a call.
He said, "Your white friend is coming here.
Wow.
He must stay with me.
Don't worry, I can cook rice.
" I think he thought white people need to eat white food.
So I let him stay with my rice uncle Ben.
After two days, my uncle was looking very upset.
I said, "What's wrong?" He said, "Ahh! I think you gave me a defective white man.
I said, "What do you mean, he's defective?" He said, "Your friend acts exactly like us.
" I said, "He's a human being.
What did you expect?" There was a tear in his eye and he was, like, "I thought he was going to do some crazy white things.
" He just wanted a story for the pub.
So, when no-one is looking I went to my friend and went, "Oi, oi, oi.
Next few days, do some crazy white things.
Just give him a story.
He said, "I am his first white man.
I think it is important I don't live up to any false stereotypes.
" I said, "You are not paying for food, you're not paying for accommodation, The least you can do is some crazy white things.
" So, he slept with my uncle's wife! (LAUGHTER) And then he took his land.
(LAUGHTER) And then he made him a Christian.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
It has been a pleasure.
Well done.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Amanda, your Golden Buzzer act.
For me, you did it again.
I love that you are so edgy.
I love the politics.
You do stuff that I know nobody else can take away from you.
You've got such charm and such charisma.
I think you were nervous tonight compared to your first two performances.
The stakes are so high.
But you are the best comedian we have ever had on this show.
You had me bent double with laughter every time you performed.
You would be a fantastic winner of this series.
Thank you very much.
You are so likeable.
You have funny bones and you make all your jokes really personal.
I am so happy that Amanda pressed her Golden Buzzer.
You're a worthy finalist.
That was fantastic once again.
Doliso, no mean feat, playing the same stage two nights in a row and you've got to find new material.
It was nuts.
It was nuts.
Like getting approval.
You think I'm crossing the line.
A lot of jokes, they were, like "No, you can not that.
" ITV will be sued.
I read three of your gags that we couldn't put in.
I am glad you did not put them in.
Very funny, though.
Very funny.
To send Daliso Chaponda all the way to the Royal Variety, the number to call is Or vote for free via the app.
Voting does not open until we have seen all of tonight's acts.
Ladies and gentlemen, Daliso Chaponda! (APPLAUSE) Our next act is the eight-year-old magician who blew everyone away when she won semi-final number two.
It's Issy Simpson! I think I was born to do magic.
Alesha, what is your number? The 30th of the 5th, May, 2017.
You deserve to be in the final.
At the end, the reactions were really good.
You are a fantastic witch.
You are honestly a little star, aren't you? I liked it when Simon called me a witch.
Because it made me feel like I was from Harry Potter.
The winner of tonight's semi-final is Issy Simpson.
The fact that I am in the final is amazing.
Well done, Issy! Well done, Issy.
I was crying, but they were happiness tears.
Other than magic, I love reading JK Rowling books.
My favourite character is Ginny Weasley, because she is brave like me.
It would be a dream to perform magic to JK Rowling.
I would love to win Britain's Got Talent.
Tonight, I'm going to perform some magic using my brother, Dexter.
It is going to be the biggest performance of my whole entire life.
Hello, everyone.
I'd like to dedicate this performance to my younger brother, font color="#00FFF He's only four, but he's my best friend in the whole world.
Tonight, I'd like to show you a different kind of magic.
Magic using sleight of hand, but, remember, my hands are only small.
But I promise I'll try my best.
Most people of my age have a diary.
I do, too, but mine is a little different as it's on this deck of playing cards.
Let me explain.
I've written a word or name on the back of each card that reminds me of a special thing or person that I either like or love.
Walliams - my favourite BGT judge.
Thank you.
AUDIENCE: Aw.
Snow - that's what I love playing in with my brother, Dexter.
It's the most magical thing in the world.
In fact, my brother is sitting over there in the audience.
(APPLAUSE) Marley - that's my best friend in the whole wide world and also the name of my grandpa's dog.
Ginny.
That's Ginny Weasley.
My favourite character from Harry Potter.
You get the idea.
Yes.
Normally a magician would say, "Alesha, pick a card.
" But I'm not going to do that.
(LAUGHTER) Instead, Simon, I'd like you to think of a card, any card, lock it into your mind and don't tell anyone.
Got one? Got it.
Simon, would you be impressed if I could reach inside your mind and name your card? Very.
Look into my eyes.
That's weird.
I name your card Simon.
That's your name.
For the first time, Simon, what is the card you are thinking of? The seven of diamonds.
Remember, each card has a different word or name written on the back.
But here is yours, the seven of diamonds.
And there is no way I could possibly know what card you thought of.
No.
Watch.
(CHEERING) Before I go, my mum and dad always say it's polite to say thank you so thank you for this amazing opportunity.
From magic boxes you couldn't lift to me reading all your minds.
It's all been such fun.
In fact it has all been magic.
Wow.
(APPLAUSE) It's proof that no matter how young or old you are if you work hard and believe, even these pieces of paper can make truly magical things happen.
Watch.
Hi, Dex.
(CHEERING) I am a magician.
Thank you, good night.
(CHEERING) (CHEERING) ANT: Yes! (CHEERING) Well done.
Who shall we go to first? Alesha! Oh, Issy, do you know what, I actually felt quite emotional watching you just then which I didn't expect to feel during a magic act.
I kept thinking about your mum and your brother.
Your family.
How they must feel watching you, this little, gorgeous, adorable person on this big, almighty stage.
That was just fantastic.
You have been the star of the show.
I think you're wonderful.
(CHEERING) Next, go to Amanda.
Issy, I have to say I think right now you're gonna win.
Don't say that.
(CHEERING) I am not the one that gets things wrong.
I am Mystic Mandy.
And, Issy, that was absolutely magical and fantastic and you've made me believe.
(CHEERING) Dexter.
Hello, Dexter.
(APPLAUSE) Simon.
Issy, I tell you something, even though it was quite simple, it wasn't, because I have no idea how you did it.
We didn't rehearse anything.
Your confidence, your showmanship.
Now, if JK Rowling believes in magic, she should pick up the phone on Monday and make you the star of her next movie or her next (CHEERING) Yeah! I would.
(APPLAUSE) And finally you, David! Ah, your favourite judge.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
You are a fantastic magician.
You're such a little superstar.
You brought the spirit of Harry Potter, the most beloved film and book series of all time to this studio tonight.
People who love Harry Potter which is everyone are gonna pick up the phone and vote for you.
It is better! They're not! Only joking.
We've had a right laugh in the studio today, haven't we? Messing about and shouting about.
Yeah! Reading minds.
I read Dec's mind.
She did.
Which was a bit of a worry.
This didn't take long.
Tell them what I said.
She read my mind and guessed what pictures I had on the wall in my dressing room.
She did, she got it right.
Are they all of me? They are all of David Dexter is on the seats over there.
All right, Dexter? (CHEERING) He really likes I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! He's got taste.
He's four and he loves I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
