Simon Cowell told off by BGT's Aneeshwar Kunchala as naughty secret exposed to viewers

Simon Cowell was given a ticking off by an adorable act on Britain's Got Talent as his naughty secret was exposed live on air.

Tonight, the ITV show sought to crown its 2022 winner, who not only would bag £250,000 but would obtain a spot at the Royal Variety performance.

Among those hoping to win this evening was young poet poet Aneeshwar Kunchala, who wowed viewers with his act as he attempted to raise awareness on how to better take care of the planet.

But after his act, he turned attention to media mogul Simon as he said: "Simon, quick thing - yesterday when I was rehearsing the start I noticed something on your chair, I noticed that you had some chewing gum and so... and on your desk."

Cringing, Simon said: "Did you see that? Yeah, you're right. I can't believe you called me out and I apologise."

The winner of tonight's show will follow in the footsteps of singer-comedian Jon Courtenay, who won not only won viewers over in 2020 but also won hosts Ant and Dec over as he was their Golden Buzzer act.

He returned on Friday with a brand new song and couldn't resist making a jibe at Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Only three of the five Golden Buzzer acts made it through to the final tonight - Alesha's singing duo T4ylor and Flintz, Amanda's incredible vocalist Loren Allred and Simon's comedian Axel Blake.

Joining them were young ventriloquist Jamie Leahey, busker Maxwell Thorpe, comedian Ben Nickless, singer Tom Ball, comedian Eva Abley, dance group 5 Star Boys and wildcard act Amber and the Dancing Collies.
