Britain's Got Talent thrown into chaos as Ant and Dec abruptly halt live final

hosts Ant and Dec have been forced to halt the live final. They revealed that young star Olly Pearson wasn't ready to perform.

The TV presenters took to the BGT stage as young guitarist Olly was due to perform, with Dec saying: "It was all going so well." Ant added: "It was going so well but we're going to have to have a quick chat with you judges because we're not quite ready on stage yet for Olly." However, just seconds later, Dec revealed that the show was in fact ready for Olly to go on stage.

After asking the judges what they thought about the finalists, Dec then interrupted Amanda to say: "Hold that thought because we're ready on stage."

Ant added: "Thank goodness because they didn't have a thought between them." Dec continued: "He's been a huge hit since his audition this guy, he's waited patiently all night and now he's ready to deliver his big rock and roll performance. It's Olly Pearson."

It wasn't the first time that the live final was thrown into chaos, with Ant and Dec forced to apologise earlier in the show when Bruno let slip a swear word.

"We were just p***ing..." before pausing and correcting himself. He apologised before explaining the judges had found his routine funny.

Dec even had to add another apology to viewers as he said: "Apologies if you were offended by Bruno's slip of the tongue there."

Britain's Got Talent as its 2025 champion, with the young star saying: "I can't believe what is going on. Thank you, thank you everyone so so much. I genuinely feel like everyone has been behind me. This has been the most incredible journey."

The Blackouts came in second place, while eight-year-old dancer Binita came in third. The results will come as a shock to some fans after the bookies declared that postmasters choir Hear Our Voice as tipped to be the 2025 winner.

Simon Cowell praised the group after their moving performance and took the opportunity to slam the Post Office and Horizon once again following the scandal.

"I know we said it quite a lot last time but I'm absolutely thrilled that you're at the final and if you won, it would be a massive F you to a certain group of people who deserve it," he said.
