GARY BARLOW'S new talent show Let It Shine has been searching high and low for the new Take That for the karaoke musical on the bands' career.

Now, they've finally narrowed the search down and created a group of boy bands ready to take on the challenge - the winner has now been chosen!

Five to Five is comprised of Yazdan, AJ Bentley, Curtis, Sario and Nick.

Together with fellow cheeky chappy Olly Murs, they won over the audience with a performance of the former X Factor star's song Troublemaker.

The performance took a particular side-eye to their ITV rival, as new boybander AJ was previously rejected from the X Factor as well.

Nightfall

Danny, Julius, Jason, Bradley and Huw - now known as Nightfall- performed with Mel C to get their place.

Together they split the role of Bryan Adams to perform alongside the former Spice Girl to her hit When You're Gone.

Which bands have been eliminated?

Iron Sun and Neon Panda were eliminated after the semi-finals.

What songs did the groups sing this week?

This week, newly reformed band Drive sang Grease Is the Word from the musical Grease and Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

Nightfall performed Footloose and End of The Road by Boyz II Men.

And Five to Five sang You Can't Stop The Beat from Hairspray and Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus.

What does the winning band receive?

The five winning lads will tour the UK in the show which will be called The Band.

Rehearsals begin in July 2017 before the show hits the road and theatres across the UK until June 2018.

And fame on the London boards could beckon too as there are plans to take the show to the West End.
