BGT fans joke 'someone's getting fired' as first semi-final suffers technical blunder

Britain's Got Talent fans were left fuming after ITV suffered from a technical blunder during the first night of the live semi-finals.

The show returned tonight with the likes of judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon appearing on the panel.

However during a segment of the talent show, viewers were left disappointed as the live show cut out.

Some people made light of the situation and joked 'someone's getting fired' as the show took a quick break.

Over on Twitter, fans discussed what had happened.

One person shared: "Someone's getting fired."

Another wrote: "My tv got stuck on a clock for a few seconds…"

A third penned: "Gonna give them my 5 free votes just based on whatever that f***ing VT was meant to be."

A fourth sarcastically shared: "Wow, how do #BGT come up with such exciting ideas."

During tonight's show, fans were blown away by age-defying Amanda Holden's outfit.

She often goes all out with her show stopping ensembles, which have been hit with a lot of controversy in the past, too.

On Monday night, Amanda stepped out in a glittering strapless gown which was covered with jewels.

On social media, her loyal fans flooded the comments section with compliments.

One person wrote: "Oh Mandy you look absolutely stunning beautiful."

Another penned: "WOW AMANDA!!!"

A third shared: "You're so stunningly beautiful. You look absolutely gorgeous Amanda."

The ITV show went live for the first time in nearly two years tonight after a break due to Covid.

BGT's creepiest magic act snared the interest of the public as fans continue to speculate who is behind the the mask.

One of the strongest theories going around is that The Witch is none other than national treasure Stephen Mulhern.

Stephen is very capable of doing some incredible tricks, having been the youngest member of The Magic Circle when he joined.

"I was thinking Stephen Mulhern in disguise," speculated one fan recently. Another tweeted that it's "probably Stephen Mulhern [as] he's a magician."

The cheeky presenter has teased that he might be the secretive act by posting a snap with make-up artist Lisa Armstrong, who was previously married to BGT host Ant McPartlin.

However the act didn't make it through to the live final on Sunday.
