As the reigning champion coach, Mr Wilson knows a thing or two about picking a winner. This year he's backing Chloe Castro, Kevin Simm and Jolan in the hope one of those will be named the 2016 victor.

And it seems he may be onto something, former Liberty X singer Kevin Simm (whom he nabbed from Paloma Faith in the Battles) has been a hot favourite to win since his first audition.

Here's who's taking to the stage live for #TeamRicky:
