Britain's Got Talent judges battle and crash out in chaotic race to reach live auditions

Britain's Got Talent judges were forced to battle it out to get to their judging seats for the Manchester live auditions, as Ant and Dec set the panel of four a challenge.

Judges Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were pitted against one another in go-karts as they headed to the Lowry Theatre in Manchester to see the next acts bidding to be part of the Royal Variety show this year.

With all four judges in their racing vehicles, it was a chaotic scene for ITV viewers watching tonight's show (Sunday 14 May) with Simon and Bruno colliding and crashing out.

Whilst Alesha and Amanda made it successfully across the finish line with cheeky presenters Ant and Dec looking on from their golf buggy, it wasn't the same story for Strictly's Bruno who appeared terrified of his vehicle.

Showbiz mogul Simon looked set to make it across the finish line before he was forced to abandon ship as Bruno's cart began to spin uncontrollably on the floor.

The race and reactions from Simon and Bruno was so funny it had Ant in stitches as he fell to the floor in fits of laughter, whilst Dec was forced to carry on and try and hold it together.

In tonight's show, it was a dance filled programme with all-female dance group Yo Highness amazing the judges with their fierce dance routine.

Also in tonight's show, a Spiderman themed act also wowed the judges and audience with his contemporary dance routine.

PE teacher Felix Clements was inspired by 2008 BGT winner George Sampson to take to the stage, and has been dreaming of getting on the BGT stage since he was 11.

Inspired by the street dance pro George, Felix only went public with his dancing skills a year later.

Felix from Earley, Berks, says: "I went for it. I did a mix of comedy and lots of flips and tricks.

"George Sampson was a big star then and the whole school seemed to take to it. After that I was The Dancer Kid and quite popular for about two weeks!"

He added: "I could only hope to have the success George Sampson has. He’s a massive inspiration to me."

Viewers will see Felix's dancing skills with his Spiderman routine to music by The X Factor star Lucy Spraggan.

Britain’s Got Talent will air on ITV on Sunday night, 7.40pm.
