Following Colin Thackery being crowned winner of this year's Britain's Got Talent, it's been revealed that there will be a Champions series later this year, with some of the best acts from previous series around the world. The first act to be confirmed for Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions will be Susan Boyle, who came second in the 2009 series of Britain's Got Talent, to dance troupe Diversity.
The news was revealed by hosts Ant and Dec, after the 2009 runner-up and Michael Ball took to the stage during this year's final to sing 'A Million Dreams'. The Geordie duo told the audience, "Susan is one the amazing acts who will be appearing on a very special new show coming up later on the year called Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions."
The pair continued, "Where the finest acts of the last 13 years of BGT will compete with some of the best acts from around the world to find the ultimate champion."
