Craig Ball and Jasmine Elcock have made it through the last live semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent, earning a place in Saturday’s final.

The impressionist and young singer beat off some stiff competition, with Ball receiving the highest number of public votes.

“I’m a bit taken aback here!” he said, evidently stunned. “Thank you so much for your support, it’s been unbelievable.”

Ball amused the judges with his performance of Adele’s hit Hello, featuring a series of impressions from Elmo to Peter Griffin.

Placing second and third in the public vote were singer Jasmine Elcock and adorable dog Trip Hazard, with the judges given the chance to send one act through.

David Walliams voted to save Trip Hazard, saying he’d “fallen in love” with the puppy.

“This is the most nervous I’ve felt at this point of the show,” said Alesha Dixon, ultimately deciding to save Jasmine.

Amanda Holden also struggled to choose a favourite, saying: “It just feels so unfair because both of these acts are so talented.”

She decided to save Jasmine, leaving the deciding vote to Simon Cowell.

Cowell decided to award Jasmine the last place in the final, but noted that Trip Hazard would enter the wildcard vote with another chance to make Saturday’s show.

“I’m over the moon, I just can’t describe it,” said Elcock after learning she would make the final.

Missing out on a spot in the next round were the Deep Space Deviants, Ana and Fia, Chloe Fenton, Elite Squad Royalz, and Togni Brothers.
