In other news, series victor Christmas has responded to a backlash over her win after some accused the show of a "fix" given the singer's past on the West End.

"I’m new to all the attention. [The fix rumours are] just not true," she told Metro.co.uk. "Everything has been genuine and I’ve said my truth, so saying it’s not is questioning me. There’s nothing that breaks my heart more than to see [the doubt]."

The star added: "It makes me feel really crappy. It’s soul-destroying, but there’s nothing I can do to change their minds so I’ve had to separate myself. I’d love to speak to them but they are so angry, so there’s nothing more I can do."

Britain's Got Talent airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
