Britain’s Got Talent presenter Ant McPartlin let slip an expletive just moments into Saturday’s programme after his co-host Declan Donnelly stumbled on stage.
In the latest instalment, Canadian performers Connor and Oliver sought to wow the judging panel with their trampolining routine. For their audition, a trampoline had been installed on the stage.
At the programme’s opening, Ant, 50, and Dec, 50, chose to introduce the episode and the judges by bouncing on the trampoline. However, as Dec dismounted from the apparatus, he lost his footing, prompting Ant to curse at the mishap.
Ant then amusingly remarked: “That’s b****y dangerous!” before informing Connor and Oliver: “I’ve just had a bounce, it’s really good fun!”.
Yet Dec wasn’t alone in struggling with the trampoline, as regrettably Connor and Oliver also encountered difficulties during their performance, failing to progress to the subsequent stage of the competition, reports the Daily Star.

On Twitter, now X, audiences were swift to voice their reactions. One viewer commented: “Ant and dec funny as hell tonight #BGT” whilst another posted: “Honestly thought ant and dec would just pull out a trampoline for fun icl #BGT.”
Meanwhile, during Saturday’s broadcast, judge Alesha Dixon lunged for the Golden Buzzer ahead of fellow judge Simon Cowell to send remarkable Ukrainian performers, Antigravity, directly through to the live finals.
The spectacular audition witnessed the ensemble transform their performance into a live-action video game, something never before seen on the Britain’s Got Talent stage.
Following the audition, a visibly impressed Simon, 66, exclaimed: “Oh my God, that was unbelievable! That’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen on this show!”, before adding: “Absolutely incredible!”.
His fellow judge, KSI, was equally enthusiastic, stating: “I think that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen on BGT!” Alesha also chimed in with her praise: “That was epic! I’ve never seen anything like that before! I think my children will love this kind of act!”

Another fan expressed their admiration, writing: “that game act was so cool #britainsgottalent #bgt : ).”
