Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions crowned its winner on Saturday night, with the first series of the BGT spin-off coming to an end.
Twist and Pulse were announced as the winners by Ant and Dec, after an audience vote.
In a shake-up to the normal formal of the usual BGT series, which sees live semi-finals and finals and a public vote, it was down to those in the audience who made the overall decision.
The episodes, including the finale, were all filmed in advanced too – and prior to the show airing on ITV the winner result was leaked online by someone there.

Now, ahead of a second series being confirmed, viewers at home have asked bosses to change things up next time round.
They wanted the chance to vote for finalists and eventually the winner, while they also called for it to be recorded live to avoid spoilers next time around.
Taking to Twitter , one fan said: “Twist and Pulse win #BGTChampions shame it came out ages ago, it should have been live.”

Another agreed: “They should let the viewers actually vote. Fair enough pre record the performances but then invite them all back for a live show so we can vote.”
A third added: “While I’ve really, truly loved this series – take it as a viewer suggestion that if you do another Champions series it should be completely live.”
This was echoed by another viewer who said: “It’s a shame this isn’t live and the result got leaked because the Dog act is the best act I’ve ever seen on a Britain’s Got Talent show.”

Meanwhile a fourth added: “So we don’t even get a live final or to vote on at least the winner of the whole thing?! Can hardly call them champions if only like 100 people get to vote.”
The show is returning in America, with filming currently underway and the announcement of a new judge.
Alesha Dixon will be swapping the BGT panel for the AGT panel for the special series.
Britain’s Got Talent returns in 2020 on ITV.
