He may not have been crowned Britain's Got Talent champion, but South African dancer Musa Motha won over audiences worldwide with his breathtaking performance in Sunday night's finale.
The amputee, who lost his leg after being diagnosed with cancer, made history last week when he achieved the show’s first-ever group golden buzzer.
He competed in the final against singer Amy Lou, comedic dancer Viggo Venn, singer Olivia Lynes, Ugandan dancers Ghetto Kids, singer Travis George, singer Malakai Bayoh, acrobats Duo Odyssey, magician Cillian O'Connor and dancer Lillianna Clifton.
He was reportedly the bookies' favourite but failed to make the top three. The act with the most votes on the night is declared the winner of the competition.
Motha gave it his all on the night, in a stunning performance of light and darkness. His performance drew on themes of struggles, support and victory.
