The BGT judges. Can you spot Ant and Dec in the background?

From singing robots to Bollywood dancers, child choirs to mad magicians - it can only be Britain's Got Talent.

It's been the five live semi-finals this week and, for the first time in the show's history, the judges didn't have the power to vote!

The grand final is on Saturday night. It was moved from Sunday, so it wouldn't clash with Ariana Grande's Manchester benefit concert.

Let's take a look at the finalists...

Comedian Daliso Chaponda made judge Amanda Holden laugh so much in his first audition that she just had to press the Golden Buzzer.

He's had a standing ovation from the judges and Simon Cowell thinks he's one of the funniest people BGT's ever had on!

The choir is formed of friends and families who have experienced someone they love going missing, as well as staff and volunteers from the Missing People charity.

In the semi-final the choir gave an emotional rendition of the song Wings, with pictures of those missing on the screen.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house as the choir delivered their message of hope.

The Pensionalities

The Pensionalities are Henry, 84, and Malcolm, 75. They come from Doncaster.

The friends have been singing together for the past five years, and say they've never had a cross word with each other!

The duo sang a big band version of One Direction's History in their semi-final - and topped the public vote.

After their performance, they joked to Ant and Dec that they had all this to come. Henry advised them: "Keep your good looks as long as you can - like we have!"

Dance act MerseyGirls have gone through after coming second in the fourth semi-final.

They're all aged 14-17 and are best friends who've grown up together.

Julia has a condition called scoliosis, which means her spine is curved. She needs surgery and she's worried she may not be able to dance afterwards.

But their audition impressed Alesha Dixon so much, she pressed her golden buzzer for them!

Look out for some different song choices from Tokio in the final.
