After a week of jam-packed talent, the final two acts made it through after the ultimate Britain’s Got Talent semi final on Friday night.
The final eight acts took to the stage in a bid to impress judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
However it was comedian Alex Mitchell and magician Trixy who bagged themselves the last two places in Sunday’s final.
As Ant and Dec announced the results it was primary school teacher Alex who had garnered the most public votes as he headed straight into the final.
Alex, who has autism and Tourette’s, left the judges in fits of laughter with his stand up routine before thanking the BGT platform for giving people like him a place on the stage.
Britain’s Got Talent semi final results: Comedian Alex Mitchell and magician Trixy are the final contestants confirmed for the final on Sunday night
However instead of taking it to a split decision, as it has been most night’s this week, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell opted to save Trixy in the judges vote
Meanwhile, it was between Trixy and Denise and Stefan, a blind couple who sing and play the piano respectively, for the last space in the final.
As it went to the judges vote, Bruno chose to save Denise and Stefan, before Alesha then opted for Trixy to balance out the vote as she described the decision as a ‘nightmare’.
However instead of taking it to a split decision, as it has been most night’s this week, both Amanda and Simon opted to save Trixy.
The magician blew the judges’ minds with his incredible trick as he asked the judges for a series of random numbers, which when added together resulted in the exact date and time of his performance.
Heading home after falling at the final hurdle, Denise and Stefan were visibly upset as they thanked the judges for the opportunity.
Hoping for the wildcard, which sees one act of the judges choosing return for a last chance spot in the final, Stefan said: ‘Hopefully we get the wildcard, but if not thanks you very much’.
Fans are also hoping the couple receive the wildcard, as they took to Twitter to share their disappointment they hadn’t made it through.
They wrote: ‘Denise and Stefan were criminally robbed. They were incredible both times #BGT’; ‘My original (and still because of potential wildcard) favourites Denise & Stefan are out? What a farce’.
