Britain's Got Talent: The Champions

Britain's Got Talent: The Champions is a spin-off of Britain's Got Talent, a British talent competition series, which began broadcasting on ITV on 31 August 2019.[1] The programme functions similar to BGT, but features a selection of participants - winners, finalists and other notable acts - from across the history of both Britain's Got Talent and the Got Talent franchise,[2][3][4] who compete in a series of preliminaries to secure a place in the grand final and a chance to win a large prize and to be crowned Britain's champion within Got Talent.

Chronology

The spin-off is hosted by Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly (colloquially known as Ant & Dec), and is based upon America's Got Talent: The Champions, in that the format is different to the main programme - episodes are pre-recorded, and votes for participants are conducted under a different system. The spin-off series averaged 5.84 million viewers across the 6 episodes during its broadcast.

Production

Following the success of America's Got Talent: The Champions in early 2019, Simon Cowell opted to create a similar spin-off competition for Britain's Got Talent, which, along with the same subtitle, would operate under the same format. Production was green-lighted by the broadcaster ITV, with the contest taking place between July and August of the same year, and using the same presenters and panel of judges as the regular show.[5] Much like the American spin-off, the episodes were pre-recorded – filming of the spin-off took place during the contest's operation, with production staff editing the finalised footage for full broadcast over a weekly basis, towards the end of the Summer TV schedule that year.

Contest overview

Around 45 participants from across the Got Talent franchise, ranging from winners, live round participants – both quarter-finalists (where applicable) and semi-finalists – and other notable acts, participated during The Champions contest in 2019, with each of the contest's preliminaries featuring around 9 participants. The following table lists each participants that took part, their history in the Got Talent franchise – per respective international version, series, and performance – and their overall result in the contest:
