Who made it through to the Britain’s Got Talent grand final?

Musa Motha

During Monday night's live semi-final United 2 Dance, Gamal John, Ichikawa Koikuchi, Enzo Weyne, Parkour Collective, Abi Carter-Simpson, Amy Lou, and Musa Motha took to the stage to give a new show-stopping performance for the audience and viewers at home.

At the end of the night Musa Motha was crowned the winner of the evening's semi-final by viewers and was put through to the grand final.

Amy Lou

New mum Amy Lou delivered a showstopping rendition of Jennifer Hudson's And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls in her semi-final performance.

The judges were split over who to send to the final from the remaining top three, Amy Lou or Abi Carter-Simpson, so Ant and Dec announced that Amy Lou had received the most public votes and was through.

Viggo Venn

During the second semi-final, Viggo Venn got through to the final after giving a comedic rendition of Eminem's My Name Is... with the help of the judges before breaking down into a performance with high vis vests.

Venn's performance won over the public as he was crowned the winner of the episode.

Olivia Lynes

Eleven-year-old singer Olivia Lynes was named the second act to make it to the final after the judges decided to send her through after she performed Into the Unknown from Frozen.

Lynes was Amanda Holden's Golden Buzzer act during the auditions, and she was chosen over Johns' Boys to go to the grand final by Holden, Dixon and Cowell.

Ghetto Kids

Ugandan dance troupe Ghetto Kids were named the winners of the third semi-final on Wednesday, 31 March after they showed off their moves to an upbeat dance medley.

Dixon and Cowell named the group their standout act, and the audience clearly thought the same as they received the most public votes and automatically made it through to the final.

Travis George

In the third semi-final, the judges had to pick between singer Travis George and guitarist Harry Churchill, but they were evenly split with Dixon and Tonioli picking Travis and Cowell and Holden choosing Harry.

As such the decision rested on the amount of public votes that each received, and it was confirmed that the singer was the one who had the most so he went through to the final.

Malakai Bayoh

13-year-old operatic singer Malakai Bayoh was announced the winner of the fourth semi-final following his performance of O Mio Babbino Caro.

Bayoh's rendition of the song left judge Tonioli in tears and was so impressive that the public voted the singer through to the grand final during Thursday night's semi-final.

Duo Odyssey

On Thursday the judges then had to decide between dancers Duo Odyssey and beatboxing artist MB14, and the vote was split once again with Cowell and Dixon picking MB14 and Holden and Toniolo choosing to save Duo Odyssey.

After the decision was taken back to the public vote it was revealed that Duo Odyssey had the most votes, and so they were put through to the final.

Cillian O'Connor

Teenage magician Cillian O'Connor won the hearts of the judges and viewers with his impressive illusions and his story of how performing magic had helped him overcome the social awkwardness that came with his autism

The 13-year-old from County Meath in Ireland leapt into the air and cheered when hosts Ant and Dec confirmed the public had voted him through to the final.

Lilliana Clifton

The 13-year-old dancer was chosen by the judges to go through to the final following her performance to Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.

She promised her dance in the final will be "Bigger and better than this one!"

Comedy act Tonikaku, a 'naked' poser from Japan has been chosen by the judges as their Wild Card act to return in the final.
