Britain's Got Talent fans ask questions over 'absolute chaos' as comedian Viggo Venn hurtles off stage after Ant's nasty fall

Britain's Got Talent fans were still getting over host Ant McPartlin falling hard on stage in the first live semi-final of the series when they witnessed one of the acts hurtle down a set of steps on Tuesday night (May 30). On Monday night, Ant slipped over as he ran onto the stage after he and co-host Declan Donnelly introduced judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell and special guest stars Diversity.

Ant saw the funny side as he was asked if he was okay. "I don't know whether I am okay. I think I wet myself and farted at the same time," he said. And Dec joked: "I can confirm that he did fart."

After ressuring viewers that he was okay at the start of Tuesday's semi-final, he good-naturedly joined in a joke about his fall when male choir John's Boys performed the Harry Styles song Falling. "Thank you for inspiring us to sing this wonderful song," they told him.
