The 34-year-old singer and dancer Musa, 27, became the first two acts of the annual ITV1 series to make it through to the grand finale on Sunday (04.06.23) after impressing on Monday's (29.05.23) live semi-final, and they will be two of a handful of acts all vying for the prize of a spot at next year's Royal Variety Performance.

Musa - who won the public vote - said: "I feel excited and blessed, and I thank everyone for the support."

Amy - who won the judge's decision against comedy singing teacher Abi Carter-Simpson - said: "I can't believe this happening to me!"

During the first heat of this week's live semi-finals, Amy - who fought off competition from United 2 Dance, Gamal John, Ichikawa, Enzo Weyne, and Parkour Collective - sang 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going' from the musical 'Dreamgirls', with judge Amanda Holden declaring: "A star is born!" and Alesha Dixon telling her: "You blew the roof off!"

After dancer Musa won over the audience with his routine, Amanda said: "That was so epic. I'm so proud of you, that was a fabulous performance", and new judge Bruno Tonioli said: "You captured the heart of the nation. You're an inspiration to us all."

Amy auditioned while heavily pregnant, and she gave birth to baby daughter Aida on the day her performance was aired in April.

Following her victory in the semi-final, the star reflected she needed to have kids in order to strive for her dreams.

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, she told stand-in host Ranvir Singh: "It's definitely a whirlwind to say the least, but an amazing one! It's took me to have my children to ... I want them to believe that one day if they've got dreams - just do it!

"I could sing before I could properly talk, it's just something you're kind of born with. But there was so much talent on that stage last night, it was anybody's . For me, just making those semi-finals was enough so to be in the final, nothing seems real to me. Nothing!

"It's all for them, I'm doing this for my children."
