Britain's Got Talent: Simon Cowell got 'earful' from son over eliminated act Amber & The Dancing Collies.

Late on Saturday night, the Britain’s Got Talent official Twitter account revealed Amber to be the 2022 BGT wildcard that the judges had decided on, alongside her adorable four-legged pals. Amber performed a swashbuckling pirate-themed routine with her two dogs on Tuesday’s semi-final, but initially lost out on a place in the final to music duo and judge Alesha’s Golden Buzzer act Flintz & T4ylor and impressionist Ben Nickless, coming in third. Simon had been disappointed that Amber and the pups hadn’t performed as well as in their first audition, but said that their final performance reminded him of that ‘magical’ moment.

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell consoled heartbroken finalists Flintz and T4ylor after on-stage blunder saw rapper forget words.

‘If you can write a song with great hooks, do not worry about what happens for a second. It reminded me of how much this means to you, your friendship and the song has a great hook. But rapper Flintz and pianist Taylor needed a bit more reassurance than the rest after the emotions got the better of one half of the duo.

Britain's Got Talent viewers have complained about Simon Cowell swearing as Alesha's golden buzzer act made a huge blunder.

I give up on this show lol!" @cheeky sausage said: "Flintz and Taylor are something special. Don't make excuses for them." " I'm not saying this to be patronising, this was your best performance by a clear mile." I love you, I really really love you."

Following a series of performances, the show's hosts Ant and Dec revealed Axel Blake as this year's champion. Axel Blake was awarded a huge cash prize of £ ...

For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the Radio Times podcast with Jane Garvey. And then I remember one time in Sheffield, I think the event got cancelled or something like that." Ant and Dec then revealed the final three contestants as voted for by the public.

After weeks of auditions, eleven acts have made it through to the grand finale. Five finalists were decided by the public vote, with the judges choosing another ...

This years BGT is the worst ever." However, BGT viewers have argued that the final place should have gone to a different act, with several branding this year's line-up the "worst" in the show's history. several decent acts didn't go to the semi finals that should have done, then no chance of a public vote for wild card...

Tom Ball placed third in the competition, and joked he would be back in school on Monday following the result as 13-year-old Jamie Leahey took second place.

It was better in their audition than the semi-final, and if we see them go back to what it was like in the audition, then they could win this whole thing." Alesha Dixon was left in tears as finalists Flintz and T4ylor forgot the words in their final performance on the live programme, and missed out on a place in the top three. While judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams returned to the judging panel to deliver their feedback to each act.

The comedian triumphed over teen ventriloquist Jamie Leahey and singer Tom Ball.

Amazing. Well done fella #BGT #BGTFinal." @MichBrooksTV defended: "So pleased for Axel the Comedian on #BGt glad ppl voted for him. And @jordandavies09 said: "Axel Blake has already had an Amazon Prime special. @John_Guy1 asked: "Can someone tell me, how someone like Axel Blake, who had his own TV show on @primevideouk to appear on @BGT and win it."

C. omedian Axel Blake said “words can't even explain” his emotions after being crowned the winner of Britain's Got Talent 2022 on Sunday night. The 33-year-old ...

It means the world to me.” The show also saw Amber and The Dancing Collies make a strong comeback after they were chosen by the judges to return as the “wildcard act” out of all the third place acts who did not make it from the semi-finals. The 32-year-old from New York, who was the voice behind the track Never Enough from The Greatest Showman, was praised by Holden for breaking away from what she is known for and showing her “heart and soul” in the performance. David Walliams added that this was a “winning performance” and that he believed he would “storm” at the Royal Variety Performance. Holden described the performance by the 24-year-old high school teacher from West Sussex as “unbelievable” and “unforgettable”. Thank you everyone for voting for me.

The ITV talent show crowned its 2022 winner of Sunday night as the comedian but others think someone else was the winner.

Wrong winner to #BGT." @cydneyx0x said: "Re tweet to show some love for Tom Ball, the real winner of #BGTFinal #bgt #bgt2022." @Schofss__7 echoed: "The real winner. And the latest BGT winner and other finalists have got fans calling for a change. @Maryam54975493 tweeted: "#BGTFinal #Tomball #bgt the best personality and voice the real winner." After a week of semi-finals it was time for the grand final of the ITV talent show on Sunday night (June 5) with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly returning as hosts. The rapper Flintz, 22, was offered words of support from the judges after he got emotional and lost his lyrics momentarily.

Lorraine Kelly asked Axel Blake to set the record straight about his Amazon Prime show.

So it wasn’t for Amazon Prime. I didn’t know they were going to pick it up. Then after that, Amazon picked it up. Host Lorraine Kelly asked about the comedy special, with Axel setting the record straight.

Britain's Got Talent acts Flintz & Taylor, who were awarded the golden buzzer during their audition, made a mistake at the start of their performance.

And I'm telling you now boys, this is just the beginning." For the finale, they performed an original song inspired by their journey on the show. Ant told the musician: "It doesn't get better than working with your best friend, trust me. But, let me tell you something right now; what you've done, what you guys have achieved together on this show far outweighs any teeny tiny mistake up there." They first met in person at their audition earlier this year. Quacey asked Taylor to put a melody behind his rap but they met in real life only on the day of the audition as Quacey lives in Croydon, South London, and Taylor lives in Great Barr, Birmingham.

Among the finalists was rapper and pianist duo Flintz and T4ylor who delivered a moving original song about their journey of connecting on social media and ...

She added: "You're going to come off stage and you're going to beat yourself up about this. Alesha Dixon said: "Artist to artist, it doesn't matter whatever anyone tells you tonight, you're going to feel bad and I know what that feels like." Ant and Dec have moved to offer their support after an act in the final of ITV Britain's Got Talent went wrong.

Comedian Axel Blake triumphed on an overlong final full of emotion, upsets and far too many commercial breaks.

The judges dispensed platitudes about how every act was a potential winner. The Queen was reverentially mentioned throughout. Let’s hope Axel Blake performs in front of the Queen herself this autumn. The bloated 150-minute runtime was padded out with recap VTs, plugs for QR codes and incessant commercial breaks. Not only has she performed on the soundtrack of blockbuster film The Greatest Showman but she’s competed on the US version of The Voice and duetted with Andrea Bocelli. The judges bent over backwards to justify her presence in this final. The final was dominated by music and comedy, with no room for acrobats, magicians or novelty acts. For a variety contest, there was a distinct lack of, well, variety. Following four TV days of pomp and pageantry, it was a relief to slump in front of something so reassuringly formulaic. The eyebrow-raising upset was bookies’ favourite Maxwell Thorpe not even finishing in the top three. The 33-year-old property maintenance manager from West London was endearingly lost for words when he bagged the £250,000 cash prize and a coveted spot at this year’s Royal Variety Performance. His stage presence was arguably superior to his material but Blake possessed timing, style and undoubted star quality. Had the match gone to extra time and penalties, they’d have been faced with an awkward clash. However, the diminutive eco-warrior earned brownie points by telling off Cowell for having chewing gum under his desk and flattering extra lights on his face.

Simon's Golden Buzzer act Axel Blake has won BGT 2022, but just who is the comedian and what past success has he had?

And an agent.’ He has presented for the likes of SBTV and UNILAD and has gone viral with his comedy sketches in the past. Axel has taken home £250,000 and will perform for the Royal Family during the Royal Variety Performance.

As usual, the semi-finalist who received the most votes from the public was sent through to the final, with the judges then deciding between them whether to ...

The Phantom - 14.5% Aneeshwar Kunchala - 14.0% The Dots - 1.1% The Freaks - 7.1% The Witches - 9.3% Tom Ball - 26.2% Junwoo - 10.8% Maxwell Thorpe - 33.0% Aneeshwar Kunchala - 6.0% Maxwell Thorpe - 14.0% Tom Ball - 14.2% Jamie Leahey - 14.7%

The hosts had some encouraging words for Flintz & Taylor after rapper Flintz forgot some of his lyrics.

Ant and Dec then offered their own words of advice, with Ant telling an emotional Flintz: "It doesn't get better than working with your best friend, trust me. The Geordie duo reassured the pair and told them: "It doesn't get better than working with your best friend". After sailing through the semi-finals and even getting awarded Alesha Dixon's golden buzzer, the group were in tears after their mistake.

Moment to remember: The talent show winner, who was Simon's golden buzzer act, said: 'I am shaking. I believe we have found a star,' the Got Talent franchise founder said. The talent show winner, who was Simon's golden buzzer act, said: 'I am shaking. One wrote: 'So a guy that's already done shows and is a professional comedian wins #BGT ? Also, he was Simon's golden buzzer! There are not even words to explain - I can't believe it!' 'I feel really emotional for you right now. So it wasn't for Amazon Prime. I didn't know they were going to pick it up. [I told him], 'Think of something that you want and believe in yourself.' It looks like 'Oh my gosh, it's Amazon Prime', but if they saw the back end, it didn't look like that financially, a lot of stress… He added: 'Then after that, Amazon picked it up. I sorted and paid for lighting, staging, you name it, that was me.' Now, as an up-and-coming comedian, would you say no?

After a week of semi-finals, several acts took to the stage throughout the two-hour show to impress the judges - Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and ...
