Britain's Got Talent's Ant and Dec forced into apology as ITV final descends into 'chaos'

Ant and Dec were forced to to make a hasty apology during the Britain's Got Talent final on Sunday night, after one of the performances took a chaotic turn.

After months of auditions and live knock out rounds throughout this week, the latest series of the long-running ITV show came to an end this weekend, as the remaining acts all hoped to follow in the footsteps of former BGT champions like Collabro, Jon Courtenay, Diversity and last year's winner, comedian Axel Blake.

One of the most talked about acts on Britain's Got Talent this year is comedian Viggo Venn, with him emerging as a hotly tipped contender for the win, as bookies updated their odds with hours to go until the live finale, before going onto win.

The man who has sparked a huge surge in the popularity of hi-vis jackets took to the stage towards the end of the final, and things looked to have gone wrong, when a giant red ball he was using as part of his routine fell out of his grasp, bounced off stage and then fellow into a gap between the stage and the judges' desk, as Viggo could be heard muttering: "Oh s**t."

Thankfully, while Ant and Dec left viewers confused as they insisted that Viggo had to continue, his mishap was all part of the act, as he then ran into the wings to emerge with another balloon ball which he then got inside of.

After Viggo's performance finally came to an end, the camera went straight on Ant and Dec, with Ant jumping to say: "Now, we've got to apologise for any bad language you might have heard during that, so apologies, somebody did. We're not going to name any names."

Ant and Dec having to apology for Viggo's swearing came just days after they were forced to apologise for judge Bruno Tonioli turning the air blue two nights in a row.
