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:

CHLOE CASTRO

103239

Age: 19

From: County Durham

Fun fact: Her number one fan is Sophie who’s 15 and a girl who just hangs around the local area. She tells all her friends Chloe is famous.

Kevin Simm

Kevin had a full house of coaches, with Ricky Wilson, Boy George, Paloma Faith and will.i.am turning. Kevin was originally on Team Paloma, but was 'stolen' but Ricky during the Battles.

Kevin sang against Faith Nelson in the Battles, singing Jennifer Hudson's Spotlight. In the Knockouts he sang Birdy's Wings.

Age: 21
