BGT in new ‘fix’ row as furious fans slam ‘rigged’ result as next two finalists revealed
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans were once again not happy about the result of tonight’s semi-final.
Jack Rhodes won tonight’s public vote and the judges were then tasked with choosing between Ravi’s Dream and Haribow.
Bruno Tonioli picked Haribow, while Alesha Dixon went for Ravi's Roar, as did Amanda Holden.
But when it came to Simon Cowell he made sure it went to a tie by also picking up Haribow and it ended up going to the audience vote.
Many felt Simon did that deliberately so his son’s favourite act could go through, because he knew who the audience would pick.
One person remarked: “Simon makes this show so he knew who the stupid public voted for. Very rigged.”

A second said: “Simon knew the result, didn’t want the singers to go through, took the easy way out.”
“@BGT is a fix. @AmandaHolden leaning over to speak to Alesha and Bruno before final votes cast,”slammed a third.
While another pointed out: “Simon who said Haribow was the best act that’s ever been on the show didn’t pick them #BritainsGotTalent.”
Earlier in the series Simon’s son Eric, 10, and Amanda Holden’s daughter Hollie, 11, decided to give the Japanese double-dutch group the Golden Buzzer in a shock move.
The talented skippers have a huge fan base online and despite some concerns that Simon “chickened out”, many were delighted with the result.
