Britain's Got Talent: The Champions launch date 'confirmed' following huge winners leak

Britain's Got Talent's Champions launch date appears to have finally confirmed - and fans will be pleased to hear is in just a couple of weeks time.

The hit ITV show, which is hoping to be as successful as America's Got Talent: The Champions, has already been prerecorded and won't contain any live shows.

A source has said that it will finally kick off at the end of August.

They told the Daily Star Online : "ITV have BGT: The Champions penciled in to kick off on Saturday August 31.

"Last minutes changes are always possible – especially with prerecorded shows like this one but everyone is working for that date."

They added that the final schedule would be locked in by programmers in a few days time.

This comes after the after the winners of the pre-filmed series was leaked.

While Mirror Online have opted not to expose the ultimate champ, they didn't seem bothered about hiding their identity as they were seen showing off their victory to fans on Tuesday after wrapping filming for the show.

The winner was shortly followed by the second place act who was also stopping for selfies and making their presence known.

Clearly unfazed about facing Simon Cowell's wrath, the winner gave away the world's biggest spoiler as they cheered and brandished a trophy for all to see.

A TV source exclusively told Mirror Online: "Producers are fuming about the result being given away - the show doesn't even have an air date yet.

"Posing with the trophy and cheering as they left filming clutching it really gave the game away especially as everyone knows the paps are outside."

So far, confirmed acts include 2009 stars Stavros Flatley and 2011 singer Jai McDowell.

Susan Boyle was also tipped to be joining the competition, but later ruled herself out.
