Britain's Got Talent magician X unmasked as former contestant leaving everyone stunned

After months of hiding their identity, mysterious Britain's Got Talent act X was unmasked on Sunday night and it was a familiar face,

The act has had the whole nation guessing since their audition, with some viewers speculating that it could even be The Haunting, who had already auditioned and went on to reach the semi-finals.

But on Sunday at the end of their final performance, X revealed themselves to be none other than Marc Spellman, a Golden Buzzer act from last year who didn't quite reach the final.

The key word of X's performances was 'HOPE' and finally revealing himself by way of a VT, Marc flashed back to his original audition, leaving the judges, audience and BGT hosts Ant & Dec absolutely stunned, with the duo looking overjoyed at it being Marc.

The judges said they were so pleased to see Marc back and he could well now be the favourite to win the show.
