Britain's Got Talent's Alesha Dixon makes defiant speech to Flintz & Taylor after agonising error

A visibly moved Alesha Dixon had some strong words of encouragement for her Britain's Got Talent act Flintz and Taylor after one of them forgot lyrics during their final performance.

The musical duo made contact with each other during lockdown in 2020 after seeing each other's videos online and they only met for the first time at their audition earlier this year. Flintz and Taylor didn't get the public vote in their semi final but the judges chose them over eventual wildcard act Amber and the Dancing Collies.

Ahead of Sunday's finale, bookies had them as 66/1 outsiders in the Britain's Got Talent winner odds, but there was plenty of support for them on social media. The duo performed an original track in the final but right near the start of the song, rapper Flintz stumbled on the words, before doing it again during an emotionally charged performance, which documented their journey so far.
