Britain's Got Talent viewers were left fuming over a surprise wildcard pick ahead of tonight's final.
As usual, viewers have seen a wide range of acts competing for the substantial cash prize and a place at the Royal Variety Performance, including those lucky enough to earn the coveted golden buzzer earlier this season. The ITV talent show was aired live for the first time in two years
Amber and her dancing collies were picked as the judges' wildcard for the final line-up for Sunday night. Ahead of little nine-year-old singer Immi, magic act The Witches and The Phantom, as well as several others.
Amber had been on Monday night's first semi, where she lost out in the judges' vote after placing in the top three from the public vote. Viewers were outraged by the choice, with many believing Immi should have gone through.

As the show opened up, judge Amanda Holden was asked about the wildcard picks, to which she jokingly responded: "I think if a wildcard pick ever wins the final we should have our contracts extended by five years."
Many fans took to Twitter to share their anger. @JimBlower joking tweeted: "*Immi talking to her therapist in 25 years time* "...and then they chose a dancing collie instead of me for the final..."
While @debbie9946 said: "Sorry, Amber and the dogs were quite good but not worthy of the wildcard. In fact I’m not sure what the judges were thinking. Time for a change of judges? Think I will give BGT a swerve next year. So many other acts that deserved the wildcard."
