Simon Cowell declares 'we need two BGT finals' as he's blown away by returning acts

Britain's Got Talent returned with a bang tonight as impersonator Suzi Wild among the first semi-finalists taking to the stage for the live shows.

And as the ITV show went live for the first time in nearly two years after a break due to Covid, Simon Cowell dropped a huge bombshell after only seeing three of the evening’s acts.

The talent mogul stunned the audience when he declared the show would need to reformat and have two finals as he was so blown away by the talent on stage.

“It’s not just your talent, it’s your personality. You’ve got a brilliant personality,” he said, giving feedback to hilarious Suzi.

“You’re really funny, really original, naughty – everything!

“I'm already thinking we might need two finals this year and we're only three acts in,” he revealed.

“And I’m not kidding,” he added.

Suzi impersonated the likes Lorraine Kelly, Kirstie Allsopp, Adele, Sarah Millican and Alan Carr during her semi-final performance.

The imitator wowed the judges at her pervious audition with Simon gushed afterwards: "Great impressions, absolutely hilarious!"

"It was so instantly funny," David said. "The act is really well thought out - you get to a great joke and you're onto the next one.

"We love it when people do impersonations," Alesha said. "It was spot on, well done."

Also set to perform are an incredible busker, a ventriloquist and a Golden Buzzer act.

Mysterious magic act The Witch was among the first semi-finalists taking to the stage for the live shows.

BGT's creepiest magic act has snared the interest of the public as fans continue to speculate who is behind the the mask.

One of the strongest theories going around is that The Witch is none other than national treasure Stephen Mulhern.
