Britain’s Got Talent fans were left scratching their heads when a popular act failed to perform on the live show once again on Saturday.
Judge Simon Cowell looked less than impressed by the initial chaos when the introduction for child musician Teddy Magic played, but the youngster, aged eight, failed to appear on the stage last Saturday.
In a bid to give an explanation for the absence, Ant and Dec pointed out the fact that Teddy is just eight, with Dec joking that Teddy wasn’t ready.
It was then announced that Teddy, who impressed the judges with his magic act, would be appearing in a later live show.
Fans were quick to take to social media to question Teddy’s absence from the semi-final, which could see him win a spot at the Royal Variety Show and audience that includes the royal family.
Taking to Twitter/X, one fan wrote: ‘I hope little Teddy was ok. I think children should only be able to apply age 11+.
