The charming act, Chris and Wes, won the £250,000 prize money.
Callbacks[edit]
At the Callbacks, the judges could not decide sandwiched between eight of the acts so they organised a dance-off to fill the last four semi-final places. The acts in each category had to “face-off” their opponent with one dance; the judges then decided the winner of the each "face-off" and that act went through to the live semi-finals.
The eight acts in the dance-off were:
·         Alleviate (won) vs Sean and Stacey,
·         Dance Dynamix (won) vs Frameous,
·         Lauren Hair (won) vs Natalie,
·         Addam McMillian vs Crazy Popper (paired as duo named Liquid Metallic)
