Britain's Got Talent: The Champions episode one line-up revealed including Paul Potts

Britain's Got Talent is back with a special version of the ITV talent show, celebrating the past 13 years of the show worldwide.

For six weeks, a whole list of acts from the past will be taking each other on in the battle of all battles.

Former BGT stars will be joined by contestants and champions from other series including the Asian, American and Australian series of the show.

Only two contestants can go through each week to the final: one is decided by the audience, and the other is chosen through a Golden Buzzer, pressed by either one of the judges or hosts Ant and Dec.

Now, the first line-up for the first show has been confirmed, ahead of its launch this weekend.

You'll be seeing some very familiar faces, with four BGT acts taking another shot at the show.

Series one winner Paul Potts is joined by his then fellow series one finalist Connie Talbot, who was just six years old when she first appeared.
