BGT viewers were left divided over the Mis-Teeq reunion on tonight's show after Alesha Dixon appeared to become the new frontman of the group.

"Alesha Dixon is in her Nicole Scherzinger era. Sabrina is the lead girl, sit your a** in the back", one person posted on X.

Another commented: "Alesha shouting over it all and acting like she's Beyonce. Sabrina snubbed out of her own lead vocals.

"That Mis-Teeq performance was giving Alesha and her backing singers", a third remarked while another questioned: "We're supposed to pretend Alesha was the front woman of Mis-Teeq instead of Sabrina are we?"

However, others loved the girl band's performance, with one person writing: "Mis-Teeq were amazingggg!"

Someone else declared: "Best act of BGT final. Alesha Dixon and Mis-Teeq!" while another enthused: "Mis-Teeq have still got it! INSANE".

For the final, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir sang an original song called This Is Home.

The choir sang the emotional song whilst stood in front of a backdrop of the local countryside through the changing seasons. They dedicated the song to anyone who is struggling.

In a video shared to Simon Cowell's Instagram, Simon and Jeremy Clarkson could be seen celebrating Hawkstone Farmers Choir's win together.

"Wow, wow, wow," Simon started before panning the camera so that Jeremy could join in from over his shoulder.

"That was incredible," Jeremy said. Simon remarked that he could see how nervous Jeremy got upon seeing the choir perform and whislt waiting to see in they would win. Jeremy continued: "They worked so hard, thank you for having us."

Simon added: "They did deserve it."

He wrote in the caption: "Wow wow wow. I am genuinely thrilled. A very very very happy choir, and so they should be."

Jeremy Clarkson's lager and cider brewery Hawkstone has sent a message of congratulations to the BGT winners.

After Hawkstone Farmers Choir won the show, the brewery posted a pic of the choir to Instagram, with the caption: "Well done Hawkstone Farmers CHoir, fully deserved."

Jeremy Clarkson was seen tearing up after the choir he put together won BGT.

The Hawkstone Farmers Choir won Britain's Got Talent after performing an original song and their patron was seen in the audience. After the choir won, he jumped to his feet and hugged those around him, tearing up as he did.

The BGT viewers appeared to be split on the winners of this year's show. After Hawkstone Farmers Choir, put together by Jeremy Clarkson, won, some fans took to the internet to cry "fix".

One said: "Can't be a coincidence Clarkson was in tge audience and then the farmers win." Another added: "What a total fix!!!.."

A third implied that this was part of a promotion for Clarkson on ITV: "How’s all that free Clarkson promotion going @ITV?"

But other's were happy with the win. One congratulated the choir, who were the first choir to win the show: "Well done to the Hawkstone Farmers Choir - the first choir to ever win"

Another said this had "saved" TV and a third added: "Huge congratulations to the Hawkstone Farmers Choir #BGT 2026 winners. So happy for them all they so deserve this. What a brilliant original song. Our fave act from day dot."

A BGT fan has slammed the show as "brutal" after they notice a hidden detail in the music choices.

After Hawkstone Farmers Choir were announced as the winners of this year's show, Celestial by Ed Sheeran started to play. It would have been fine, except the runners up were a drone show called Celestial.

The fan said: "Celestial losing the BGT Final then Celestial by Ed Sheeran playing in the background is brutal."

The Hawkstone Farmers Choir made history as the first choir to win Britain's Got Talent. Jeremy Clarkson, their "biggest cheerleader" erupted into cheers when the choir won, as did several members of the choir.

Amanda Holden was delighted, as she'd previously said she hoped they would win.

But not everyone seemed happy. Though the choir's win was met with cheers, the audience booed when dance group LMA and singer Matty Juniosa failed to crack the top three.

Alesha, Sabrina and Su-Elise have reunited on the BGT stage for a performance to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

The three started on a raised platform in red and black outfits. They performed a medley of songs - One Night Stand, Scandalous and All I Want - as they danced around the stage.

At the end of the performance, Alesha said that the trio would be performing a show in September at Wembley.

You can now vote for your winner. Votes can be made via the ITV website, where you can vote for free after registering with the site. After voting, you can also collect 50 Tesco Clubcard points, according to Ant and Dec.

Singer Matty Juniosa teared up after completing his rendition of Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U.

The judges praised his performance as "perfection" and said they fell in love with him from the moment they met him, due to the fact that he wasn't afraid to take on big songs.

Drone show Celestial's pre-recorded performance recreated several iconic moments from BGT history, including George Sampson's dance to Singin' In The Rain, Susan Boyle's audition, Diversity's audition and Sydnie Christmas winning the show.

They also recreated moments from their own audition, including a beefeater that they turned into Marge Simpson to celebrate KSI mistaking the iconic London figure for the American cartoon character.

They ended with a drone fist pushing a gloden buzzer before turning the image into Simon Cowell's face.

Comedian Ted HIll has told the audience not to boo him mid performance. During his act, he pretended to get the '6-7' joke wrong and yelled out "76!"

He then turned to the audience of youngsters and said: "Don't boo me! Your generation are doomed." He followed it up with a gag about his own age (32) and many lighthearted digs at Simon Cowell.

Dance group LMA ended their performance with a powerful message - the group were dressed in all black expect for their arms, which were in white gloves. They used the gloves to spell out the words: "We need love, hope, peace. We are humans."

All the judges praised the performance as some of the dancers started to cry. Simon said: "I loved the message. The whole performance was epic."

Alesha Dixon told poet Sonny Green that she thought he could win the show after he delivered a poem about his last day on earth.

The poem focused on what Sonny would hope for and do if he were dying. After the performance, Alesha said: "You're in with a great chance of winning tonight..."

During Fabian Fox's performance, the Austrian comedian's prop box that he was locked in had it's hinges blown off as it hung, suspended in the air.

Sparks flew off the box as it burst open. While the judges sat with their jaws on the floor, Fabian appeared by the stage again and revealed that he was okay.

At the end of the performance, KSI asked: "Why did that explode? It didn't need to explode..."

Before performing their original song, the Hawkstone Farmers Choir said Jeremy Clarkson was their "biggest cheerleader" and that they "couldn't thank him enough".

The camera then panned to Jeremy who was sat in the audience, clapping along to the song along with the rest of the audience. After the song finished, Jeremy shot to his feet to applaud the choir.

Meanwhile, Amanda teared up and told the choir how emotional their song made her. KSI demanded the song be added to Spotify.

After dancing across the stage, Anastasiia and her dog Salsa got a standing ovation from the judges.

"I'm so jealous!" laughed Amanda. "I've got three dogs and all they can do is go out for a wee."

KSI added: "I wish my cat could do that."

BGT have made a huge change this year that has left fans massively disappointed.

Usually, the show will introduce a wild card act, who lost in their semi-final but who the judges and producers felt deserved another chance. But, this year that didn't happen.

"Oh there isn't a wildcard this year", someone posted on X followed by a sad face emoji.

A second asked: "Oh so no Wildcard?", with someone else saying: "So did they just quietly bin the Wildcard act they do every year?"

During his magic performance, 17-year-old Rafferty Coope borrowed Amanda Holden's ring for a trick. He remarked: "It looks expensive..."

Amanda nodded: "So be careful with it!"

Rafferty proceeded to throw confetti over the ring, at which point, it disappeared from view. "Sometimes, we lose things," Rafferty said, before adding: "But the answer could be right at our feet."

He then put his foot on the table to reveal that the ring was on his laces. He put it in a card box, but when Amanda shook it, it was gone again. He asked her if it was in there and she said: "No it blinking isn't!"

It was on his finger instead.

Just one act in, KSI has labelled a performance as "a BGT winning performance".

The Youtuber was left gobsmacked by Liwei Yang's fire juggling and hailed her as a winner - despite not seeing any other performances.

Liwei Yang has taken to the stage, but she was delayed getting there. After the fire juggler vowed to "set the final on fire", Ant and Dec revealed to audiences that the stage hadn't finished being prepped yet and they were still waiting for something.

"We need the fire extinguishers!" joked Dec.

When she got on stage, Liwei was lifted into the air by her husband as she threw a table that had been set alight in the air with her feet. KSI said: "That was the scariest act I've ever seen".

Someone dressed in a Simon Cowell costume with a towel around his waist jumped on stage to surprise the head judge.

Ant and Dec revealed they were behind the stunt, calling it "payback" for the auditions.

"I'm gonna be a part of it! New York, New York!" sang the cast of Sinatra the Musical in front of a brass band.

As they did, Ant and Dec introduced the finalists before the judges walked onto the stage hand in hand.

BGT is about to start! Buzzers at the ready!

Favourite to win Matty Juniosa told the Mirror: "I don’t think I can ever thank the show enough for what it has done for me and my family and even my country. We finally have a present day queer native Filipino international personality and performer, and my family has been reunited in the UK because of this opportunity. I also got to finally meet my niece in person whom I haven’t had the chance to see because she was born when I moved here.

"It would be insane to win the money and the chance at performing for the royal family. It would mean I get to invest in the career I want to build here in the UK, help out with getting my sister and niece through school, finally let my mom take it easy on her work and help out fellow Filipinos get the opportunities I had. And also, this would mean getting a nicer flat to live in, which has been such a struggle with the level of income new performers in the industry have!"

Susan Boyle captured the nation's attention when she went on BGT in 2009. The singer is one of the best known celebrities to have come from the show, with her audition, where she sand I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables, went viral.

She managed o get to the semi final, where she sang Memory from Cats. THe public voted her through to the final, but she ultimately came second to Diversity.
