THE BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT FINAL WAS THROWN INTO CHAOS ON SATURDAY NIGHT AS ANT AND DEC WERE FORCED TO INTERRUPT THE LIVE SHOW AS THEY SAID AN ACT WAS 'NOT QUITE READY' SARA

BAALLA TV Reporter 22:18, 31 May 2025 Britain's Got Talent was thrown into disarray on Saturday (May 31) evening when Ant and Dec announced that an act was "not quite ready".

The ITV talent extravaganza is set to wrap up tonight, with eleven acts vying for the title at Hammersmith Apollo in the series 18 finale. This year's line-up of finalists features

gymnastic sensation Binita Chetry, the harmonious Post Office choir Hear Our Voice, dance troupe Ping Pong Pang, alongside vocalists Vinnie McKee and Stacey Leadbeatter. They're joined

by the judges' semi-final golden buzzer selections, including LED dance troupe The Blackouts, operatic drag performer Jasmine Rice, illusionist Harry Moulding, and stand-up comedian

Joseph Charm. Presenters Ant and Dec also revealed that ABBA homage duo, Han and Fran, had been chosen as the judges' wildcard entry, reports Belfast Live. Article continues below The

last performance of the evening was supposed to be Amanda Holden's golden buzzer choice, guitarist Olly Pearson, but he was delayed in taking the stage. "Now, we've got one

act left. It was going so well, but we have to have a little chat with you judges, because we're not quite ready on stage just yet for Olly," Ant disclosed, prompting looks of

astonishment from the judges. "It's been a great final so far, though. Right guys?" Ant then enquired, with the panel unanimously concurring. "It started strong, but

it's got better and better and better," Ant added. The hiccup was brief, however, as Dec soon welcomed Olly onto the stage. "Hold that thought, because we're ready on

stage," the host announced, and Ant swiftly joked: "Thank goodness, because they didn't have a thought between them!". Despite the initial hold-up, Olly impressed

everyone with his guitar playing, accompanied by a band of drummers. "That was unbelievable... We just forget that you're a kid... That was super professional, massively

entertaining, very chilled. Once again, you did yourself proud," Amanda enthused. The show's fans were in agreement, flocking to X (formerly Twitter) to express their admiration

for Olly's act. "Olly is a little rock god, wouldn't be mad if he did well tonight," someone commented, while another mentioned: "Olly is very good!". Article
