Britain's Got Talent's David Walliams issues demand to ITV to 'scrap news' for semi final act

David Walliams ordered ITV bosses to change the schedule and 'scrap the news,' as he gave his verdict on an act during Britain's Got Talent's third semi on Wednesday.

Viewers at home were in firm agreement that the third live show of the week was the strongest so far, as the likes of The Freaks, Dane Bates Collective and Immi Davis all took to the stage. Another act in action on Wednesday's Britain's Got Talent was Keiichi Iwasaki, the illusionist Ant and Dec hit their Golden Buzzer for during the auditions.

He was tipped to advance through to the final and David certainly enjoyed his performance as, when giving his critique he said: "I think.. .ITV cancel the news, we want you to entertain us for the next hour. It just wasn't long enough. I just want a whole show of you!"
