Sunday night will see another Britain's Got Talent winner crowned, but there's been a final twist in the race to be 2023 champion, as long standing favourite Malakai Boyah replaced by a new top contender, with just hours to go.
Young opera singer Malakai, Simon Cowell's first Golden Buzzer of the new series, blew everyone with his stunning audition, before also excelling in his live semi final earlier this week. Bookies had him the runaway favourite to triumph on BGT this year, with him leading the betting for months.
However, it was heroic and massively inspiring dancer Musa Motha who went into the ITV finale as the new favourite to win, after experts updated their odds for a last time with hours to go. Musa, 27, forced all four judges to hit the Golden Buzzer together after his audition had the audiece inside the London Palladium on their feet.

Amputee Musa performed a daring routine to Beyonce and Naughty Boy track Runnin' to make a huge impact on everyone, with his semi final performance also striking a chord.
And ahead of the Britain's Got Talent final, he became the big tip to take the crown on 4/6, with William Hill, with comedian Viggo Venn second favourite on 3/1, with whilst singer Malakai in third spot on 7/2.
William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “After an exhilarating semi-final performance, we’ve seen a lot of support for Musa Motha to win this Sunday’s final of Britain’s Got Talent.
“The amputee dancer’s price for victory was as high as Evens throughout this week but has been backed into 4/6, with punters seemingly confident with the 27-year-old’s chances.
“Comedian Viggo Venn is deemed the most likely threat to Motha’s chances of glory on Sunday at 3/1, whilst singer Malakai Bayoh is a 7/2 shot."
