Britain's Got Talent: Five reasons why Sussex teacher Tom Ball can win live final on Sunday June 5, when the show starts, what he might sing, and how you can vote

The show starts at 7.30pm and will run for two and a half hours.

There are five key reasons why Tom, from Haywards Heath, could scoop the top prize of £250,000 and the opportunity to appear on the Royal Variety show. Winning would help bring him closer to realising his dream of performing in Les Miserables.

First, Tom is hugely talented. He has an amazing singing voice which moves the audience every time they hear him.

Second, he is a thoroughly nice guy. The celebrity judges have made this point repeatedly in their evaluation of him.

Thirdly, he made it through one of the toughest semi-finals during the week and arguably fought off some of the stiffest competition in a public vote.

Fourthly, he is inspirational – actively encouraging his own pupils and via TV everyone else to work hard to make their dreams come true.

And finally – although as SussexWorld we might be a touch biased on this point – he is from West Sussex, a county which historically has produced great talent.

What song might he sing for the final?

Well that is a closely guarded secret, but given his stated desire to appear in Les Miserables perhaps he will be tempted by one of the great numbers from that show. Perhaps ‘Bring Him Home’?

Another great individualist singer to win Britain’s Got Talent was Susan Boyle who secured her success with a Les Mis song ‘I Dreamed A Dream.’

At the semi final, in a video profile of Tom he was filmed speaking to his pupils.
