Who will win Britain's Got Talent: The Champions?
Earlier in the year the Britain's Got Talent: The Champions final was filmed at Wembley Stadium, as each episode is pre-recorded.
And the winner of the competition was embarrassingly revealed ahead of the launch, as they announced their victory via social media.
BGT bosses instructed the champion to remove the post immediately but a quick search on Twitter will reveal the results.
At the time, a TV source exclusively told The Sun Online: “Bosses are absolutely furious at the winner.
“There’s no way they should have done that and producers rang them immediately and told them off.
“It ruins viewers’ enjoyment of the show if they know who wins.
"Bosses are now hoping that the leak doesn’t spread and fans won’t have the ending of the show spoilt for them.”

What is the prize for winning Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions?
The champion will bag a whopping £100,000 prize after Simon Cowell chose to double the winnings.
The original amount was £50,000 but the music mogul decided to times the figure by two after overhearing host Ant McPartlin talk about the prize money.
Reports suggest he interjected, saying: "Did you just say fifty grand? That's it?"
Ant reportedly replied: "That’s it. Unless you want to double it. Do you want to double it?"
As the live audience cheered, Simon spontaneously respond: "Yes, I will. It’s a hundred grand everybody."
The lucky act will also take home a trophy for their efforts.
