It's almost time for the Grand Finale of Britain's Got Talent - but when is it on, and who's in it?

The BGT 2020 live final will take place on Saturday, 10 October.

The winner of the show will take home a prize of 拢250,000 as well as the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.

In total there are ten spots up for grabs in the final show - five acts are chosen by the judges, and the other five spots, will be decided by a public vote, with the results revealed in the final.

The semi-final shows have been a bit different this year due to coronavirus, with the shows being pre-recorded and dancer Ashley Banjo replacing Simon Cowell as a judge.

A total of 40 acts competed across five semi-finals with the last one taking place last night.

So who has made it through to the finals? Take a look below...
