There was joviality as Britain's Got Talent's third live semi-final kicked off on Wednesday night. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly introduced judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell as usual.
But then the pair turned serious on the ITV talent show as they apologised for a swearing incident on the show. The previous night Bruno dropped the 'F-bomb' after being brought on stage with fellow judges for a horrifying act.
"We have to just say sorry if you heard a bit of choice language on this show last night. There will be none of that this evening," they reassured.
