The final of Britain's Got Talent kicks off tonight, with 10 acts vying for a place on the Royal Variety Performance bill and a £250,000 prize. The lineup includes golden buzzer winners Matty Juniosa (singer), LMA (dance group), Liqei Yang (fire juggler), Sonny Green (poet), and Celestial (drone artists). The public vote winners are dog act Anastasiia and Salsa, magician Fabian Fox, comedian Ted Hill, magician Rafferty Coope, and The Hawkstone Farmers Choir.
Sonny Green said winning would change his life, but he would still love to trade at markets. He hopes to go on a UK theatre tour and release a poetry book. 'If I win, I’d make sure I had a good time with my family and made memories we would never forget,' he said. Fabian Fox, from Austria, plans to give a third of his winnings to a children's cancer charity and use the rest to build his show.
Comedian Ted Hill joked that the King would love his PowerPoint comedy. He recalled a fan encounter at a zoo where a six-year-old recognised him but got distracted by a zebra. Dog handler Anastasiia said Salsa would be spoiled with treats if they win, and noted Salsa's favourite judge is Alesha Dixon because of her kind comments.
Celestial, the drone act, promised a drone dancing dog for the final but no drone corgi. They hope Jeremy Clarkson attends the Royal Variety Performance and might be persuaded to sing. The Hawkstone Farmers Choir, backed by Clarkson, said he is good with lyrics but does not give singing advice. If they win, they plan to celebrate together and invest in their futures.
Matty Juniosa, a singer, said winning would mean the world to him, especially performing for the King. The final promises a mix of talent, with each act hoping to secure the top prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance.
