The
The Trickstars.
Welcome back to the final of Britain's Got Talent,
where 11 acts are all convinced they can leave here with £250,000
and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
Next up tonight is a woman who works with a disobedient bunch -
they're easily distracted
and they're always wandering off for a wee.
The judges?
No, her dogs.
It's this year's Wild Card act, The Trickstars.
We are in the final.
Getting the call to say that we were gonna be the wildcard,
this is a dream come true.
It was fantastic to come back to Britain's Got Talent
with so many more dogs.
Everybody thought it was just me and you, Strike.
It's the best dog act I have seen.
SHE SHRIEKS
That was my favourite comment.
# We stick together like glue... #
DOG SNUFFLES
I was incredibly nervous for the semi-final.
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
Genuinely think your act has got better.
Were you good guys? Were you really clever?
They do say never work with dogs and children, don't they?
LAUGHTER
I'm choosing Ssaulabi.
DOG WHIMPERS
When we were sent home, I was absolutely gutted,
but when I found out that the judges had brought us back,
obviously that just changed everything.
Wouldn't want to be doing this with anybody else but you guys.
We have to show that we were the right choice.
There's a lot of pressure riding on that.
Let's do this.
Hoping to make my family proud. In particular, my son.
£250,000 would absolutely change my life.
Go mortgage-free. LAUGHS
Come on, nobody's been on BGT with this many dogs before,
we're in it to win it!
CHEERING.
They both revolve,
Ladies and gents,
this is the moment you've waited for.

Welcome back to the final of Britain's Got Talent,
where we've got 11 acts who are fit for royalty,
but only one of them can leave here as this year's winner.
Next up tonight are a double act
who do everything in perfect synchronicity.
It's the winners of semi-final number 4, Abigail and Afronitaaa.
We are Abigail and Afronitaaa, and we are dancers from Ghana.
GIGGLES
# I won't give up... #
Abigail was born deaf,
but she can hear a little amount with a hearing aid.
She understands body gestures and body language.
She feels the rhythms of the music.
Now, this year was life changing.
Our semi-final performance was a big deal.
You are amazing! Thank you.
What is happening behind me is more important than what I say.
Crowd's reaction was something else.
When you've got it, you've got it!
When we found out that we had won the audience vote
and were through to the final, we didn't know what to do.
Abigail and Afronitaaa!
Yeah, just hoping and praying that we will be able to win this
for Ghana and win this for ourselves.
Feel so happy, so motivated. This feels good.
I'm so proud of Abigail.
I can feel the enjoyment in her eyes whenever she dance.
Everyone out there is going to know
that you can achieve anything you want to achieve
once you set your mind to it.
I'm so, so, so proud of you.

Next up is the winner of Friday's semi-final.
He's a comedian who did jokes about me having a big forehead.
Ha-ha! So funny! Love this guy! Hilarious!
And Dec being short.
Actually, he's not my cup of tea, if I'm honest.
It's Alex Mitchell.
I'm in the final. How did that happen?!
I turn up on a first date, and I'm like,
"Hi..." CLICKS TONGUE
"I'm... I'm Alex." SIMON LAUGHS
"And I've been to..."
That was not the point to laugh, Simon! That was...
Think that's my favourite.
I didn't feel like it was actually happening to me.
CHEERING
The whole place on their feet. Couldn't have dreamt it.
I came out thinking that I might actually be good at this.
I didn't realise how much... CLICKS TONGUE
..me doing the show would mean to other people
from autistic community, neurodiverse community.
I was diagnosed with a condition called FF... FFND.
That's not strictly true, there's only one F.
It took me a long time to understand who I was and be proud of that
and Britain's Got Talent has made me proud of that.
If you have ever felt like the world doesn't have a place for you,
tonight you are here, you are seen and you are valid.
CHEERING
Oh... sorry.
Absolutely sensational.
It doesn't feel like it should be happening to me.
Why shouldn't it?
You work hard for what you've achieved
and you deserve every single second of it.
I wanted to be a stand-up since I was ten years old.
So to be in this position now, it's just nuts.
Winning, for me, shows that my tics, my autism, who I am, is enough.
Hot stuff, that's more like it.
Hot stuff, that's more like it.

Our next act is a magician by night and an electrician by day
and on Friday, he did something really special.
Fixed the plug socket in my dressing room.
No, he won a place in the final.
Whatever - it's Trixy.
My name is Trixy, I'm 35 years old,
I'm an electrician from south London.
First audition was amazing.
Being a role model is my goal for my children,
and show them that chasing your dreams
is the biggest thing that you can do.
For the semi-finals, my heart was a pump.
Doom-doom-doom-doom!
At the beginning, you can see your nerves.
My body language was off, but I knew to myself, it's either now or never.
We are going to create a random number.
104.
Now press the plus key.
I was so nervous with this one.
Today is the 31st of the fifth.
If you look at the clock, it is 8:23 PM!
CHEERING
See everyone standing up?
That feeling is the greatest feeling ever.
You don't know how good you are.
Feel like you show them a bit more of you.
When I got announced that I'm going through to the final,
it was a shock.
I'm going for Trixy.
Never thought this electrician from south London
could get to the final.
My dream is definitely to travel the world, do my own shows.
I can't wait to do everyone proud, especially my kids.
You said you were always gonna follow your dreams,
and you have done nothing but that.
Deep down, the nerves are definitely coming out,
but I'm gonna do everything within my powers to win.

Easy money.

We'd love to headline our own shows, do Glastonburys, have our own tour
and it would be an honour to perform at the Royal Variety Show.
Do think we could possibly get the royal family up on their feet?

# Rough seas might pull me under And... #
Here we go!
My name is Mike Woodhams, I am 38
and I am a teacher from Milton Keynes.
Gosh, it's making me feel, like, all hot and red,
like, watching it over again.
# No matter what they tell us... #
Never seen anything like it, you're super talented.
I just feel really proud of myself.
# Whenever, wherever... #
Those hips, hips don't lie.
LAUGHTER
I'd be putting you at number one of the night.
# I'm a fighter It's like I was born to be one. #
There's always so much self-doubt.
Oh, gosh.
So to actually overcome that is amazing.
Mike Woodhams!
This is far beyond what I thought would happen.
Hi, Uncle Mike!
Oh, boys!
We knew you would get into the final...
And you're epic! And awesome!
BOTH: Can't wait to see you on the big stage, in the finals!
To win and perform in front of the royal family
would be the biggest honour. That would be... wow!
I absolutely love teaching.
It would be a dream to do this full-time
and so being in the final means so much.
It gives you that opportunity to dare to dream of what could happen.
It's within reach and so the dreams are getting bigger.
# I'm a fighter It's like I was born to be one. #

See

Welcome back to the final of Britain's Got Talent,
where tonight's acts are all hoping they can make it
to the Royal Variety Performance.
Next up tonight is the magician who won Tuesday night's semi-final.
And he told me that tonight, he's going to up the ante.
And he told ME that he's going to up the Deccy.
It's Jack Rhodes.
I'm in the final. Absolute madness.
Genuinely, about 200 messages. I've got one from me brother:
"Some boy, you, to be fair. Massive forehead, though."
That's genuine.
Ever since I were a little lad, I was obsessed with magic.
Going from just filming magic in my garage by myself
to a live audience is a major deal, and it's great.

BLAST, CHEERING
You really are one in a million. That was jaw-dropping.
CHEERING
The winner is Jack Rhodes!
CHEERING
I didn't think I'd be in the top three, let alone win the thing.
If you'da told me I would one day end up in the final of the show
I used to watch as a kid, it would have blown my tiny mind.
My head's gone. Unreal.
The dream of mine is touring the world,
bringing my weird mix of comedy and magic.
My family are sick to death of me doing magic,
but if I were to win the final,
they might finally come round to the idea.
King Charles is a member of the Magic Circle,
so to get to perform on the Royal Variety Show,
that would be bucket-list stuff.
They have
They have given me a budget. Can you
tell?

You really, really look beautiful there.
Singing at the Apollo was life-changing.
I've clung on to everything that the judges have said...
I don't think you realise how good you are.
..because I didn't believe fully in myself.
Never expected that love and that support.
I've never felt anything like that. I just wanna do that more.
If my nans saw me at the Royal Variety,
get the box of tissues ready. They'd be proud.
We believe in you, we know what you've gone through to get this.
You got what it takes to win.
Winning would mean that I'd done the right thing
in going for my dreams.
SONG: 'Over The Rainbow'
# Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high
# There's a land that I heard of Once, in a lullaby
# Someday I'll wish upon a star
# And wake up, where the clouds Are far behind me
# Where troubles melt Like lemon drops
# Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
# Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue
# And the dreams That you dare to dream
# Really do come true
# If happy little bluebirds fly
# Beyond the rainbow
# Why, oh, why
# Can't

SONG: 'Mamma Mia'
# I was cheated by you And I think you know when
# So I made up my mind It must come to an end
# Look at me now Will I ever learn?
# I don't know how But suddenly I lose control
# There's a fire inside my soul
# Just one look And I can hear a bell ring
# One more look And I forget everything
# Whoa, whoa
# Mamma mia Now I really know
# My, my I should not have let you go... #
SONG: 'Dancing Queen'
# Ooh, you can dance, you can jive Having the time of your life
# See that girl, watch that scene Diggin' the dancing queen.
# Friday night And the lights are low
# Looking out for a place to go
# With a bit of rock music Everything is fine
# You're in the mood for a dance
# And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen
# Young and sweet Only seventeen
# Dancing queen, feel the beat From the tambourine
# Oh, yeah
# Whoa, whoa
# You can dance, you can jive Having the time of your life
# See that girl, watch that scene Diggin' the dancing queen
Diggin' the dancing queen. #
SONG: 'Waterloo'
# My, my
# At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
# Oh, yeah And I have met my destiny
# In quite a similar way
# The history book on the shelf Is always repeating itself
# Waterloo I was defeated, you won the war
Promise to love you for evermore
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Knowing my fate is to be with you
# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Waterloo
# Finally facing my Waterloo
# Oo, Waterloo Finally facing my Waterloo. #
