ITV Britain's Got Talent fans slam 'embarrassing' Simon Cowell as he reveals why dancing dog act came back as wildcard

Britain's Got Talent viewers are furious tonight after ITV show bosses revealed the act coming back for the final as the judges' wild card. It was revealed yesterday (Saturday June 4) that Amber and her Dancing Collies had been picked to go through to the final line-up for Sunday night, ahead of other semi-final acts including nine-year-old singer Immi and creepy magic act The Witches.

And in the final show boss Simon Cowell revealed that his eight-year-old son Eric was behind the decision to bring Amber and her dancing dog act back. He admitted: "I got an earful when I left here the other night saying 'how come the dogs didn't get through?"

And music mogul Simon then blundered by asking "he's a he isn't he?" when her dog Nymeria is a girl. He corrected: "It's a she isn't she?" @jamieson_alan commented on Twitter: "One of his ‘favourite’ acts, and doesn’t even know if the dog is male of female#bgt."
