Britains Got Talent alum Jai McDowell is going to be hitting our screens once again tonight as he competes in BGT: The Champions.
The Scottish ex-care worker is due to be making a rather triumphant return which will see judge Simon Cowell eat his words after previously claiming Jai wasnt a genuine star.
