Britain's Got Talent viewers ask 'are you serious' as judges final decision sparks complaints

The Britain's Got Talent final is in full swing - but viewers have been left complaining after the judges' last-minute decision. The ITV talent show kicked off tonight (June 4) with an introduction of the 10 acts who are set to perform in the final after making it through the live semi-finals.

It was then announced that a wildcard, chosen by judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli, would also be making the line-up. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed that the judges had chosen none other than Japanese comedy act Tonikaku as their wildcard, with Simon Cowell later saying it was a 'unanimous' decision.

The wildcard is regularly given to an act who missed out on a place in the final after their semi-final performance, but is someone who the judges believe deserves another shot at the final.
