Britain’s Got Talent LIVE – How to vote as Golden Buzzer act Flintz & Taylor revealed as tonight’s semi-finalists
BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT has returned for the second semi-final as eight more acts battle it out for a place in the final.
Tonight’s acts include schoolboy comedian Dante Marvin, Voices of the Armed Forces Children Choir, and nine-year old magician Ryland Petty who wowed Simon with his Harry Potter trick.
Also on the bill are impressionist Ben Nickless, musical duo Flintz and Taylor, Ranger Chris, escapologist Andrew Basso, and Amber and her canine partner Nymeria.
It comes as fans have been left wanting an apology after the “disrespectful” judging panel “interrupted” The Witches performance last night – meaning they did not get to the final.
Viewers are calling for Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams to apologise after their “ignorant” behaviour.
As part of the act, the judges were asked to take a piece of paper with a fear written on it out of a bag.
However, David could be heard heckling the performance and making jokes when the other judges were meant to be participating.

After all that Amanda is left unimpressed

Andrew has done it

The safety bell was pulled but there was no sign of him in the box.

Up next after the break – Andrew Basso
The daring 36-year-old spent three minutes squirming inside a locked water tank on stage during his audition as judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell gurned and grimaced.
It must have brought back horrible memories for the show boss, who threatened to cancel it in 2020 after another escapologist nearly drowned.
Eventually Andrew sprung himself from the tank to rapturous applause in the studio.
-
A standing ovation from everybody
Simon said the crowd loved it after Ben ‘really delivered’ on his performance.
David said if there was a Golden Buzzer in front of him then he would have pressed it.

Ben makes a start by doing his impression of Elvis
Ben put on a top performance and decided to do an impression of Elvis to start off and I have to say it was brilliant.
The judges appeared to be impressed with his multiple impressions including Bear Grylls and Ant and Dec.
-
Next up – Ben Nickless
The 40-year-old, from Lancashire, has previously auditioned for the show, trying his luck in 2019.
Although he was successful in the first round, he didn’t make it to the semi-finals and his audition was never televised.
Luckily, Ben wasn’t put off, and returned in 2022 to wow the judges.
After a slow start with his ventriloquism, Ben smashed out 20 different impressions in 60 seconds, leaving the audience and the judges in stitches.

David was left unimpressed

-
Alesha’s Golden Buzzer act is up next
Flintz, 23, from London, and Taylor, 17, from Birmingham, told the judges they met on social media during the coronavirus lockdown as they took to the stage for their audition.
And the judges were blown away with the rap and piano combo written by the pair while they were miles apart.
So much so that Alesha, who was left emotional by Flintz’s lyrics about avoiding gang activity, pressed the Golden Buzzer.
-
Dante Marvin had the whole audience dancing
Dante got the audience moving to his music after giving them all instructions at the beginning.
Despite being the brunt of many of the jokes, Simon said he loved the act despite the slight hiccup at the beginning.

That was magic
Ryland Petty has used two rubik’s cubes this evening leaving the judges speechless.
Neither of the judges knew how the youngster was able to get the two cube puzzles looking the same after the judges mixed one up.
That wasn’t the only trick he had up his sleeve, not long after the magician managed to teleport from the stage into the crowd.
-
Ryland Petty takes to the stage
Ryland has said he loves magic and developed magical powers when he was two-years-old.
Will he be able to wow the judges this time?
