Unexpected Pause: Ant and Dec Stop ITV's Britain's Got Talent Live Show

Britain's Got Talent experienced an unexpected pause on Saturday (April 26) evening, as presenters Ant and Dec delivered an urgent update. The much-loved ITV talent show was back at the Eventim Apollo for its inaugural live semi-final of this season, showcasing an array of acts all vying for a place in the final.

Teddy Magic's Unforeseen Absence

Kicking off with the act Heavysaurus, it quickly became apparent that the next performer, Teddy Magic, wasn't prepared to take the stage. The hosts then took a moment to discuss the first performance with the judges. Ant shared that Teddy was not yet ready and composed backstage, leading to a change of plan. Dec announced a switch to the third act, Vinnie McKee, indicating they would return to Teddy later on.

Technical Glitch Delays The Blackouts

The live show encountered another hurdle when dance group The Blackouts were held up due to a technical problem. Dec informed the audience of the delay and the judges were surprised by the unexpected turn of events. Fortunately, The Blackouts' performance eventually captivated both judges and viewers, securing their spot in the final. Britain's Got Talent fans can catch the show on ITVX for more thrilling acts.
