Other acts on tonight's final episode of auditions included duo Boybanned, made up of Scott (28 – student nurse) and Ben (27 – joiner) who up until the morning of the audition used to be a trio, before third member Jack decided not to audition.

Another duo taking part this evening was Just Us, made up of retired friends Anna-Maria (67) and Carol (70), who wanted to prove "whatever your age, you can still make your dreams come true".

Also at the auditions as a pair - but auditioning separately - were best pals from Blackpool Johnny Wright and Jenny Ball. However there was heartbreak for Johnny who got a no from the judges as Jenny made bootcamp.
