Simon Cowell left fuming as BGT live semi-final thrown into chaos after act causes last minute line-up change
SIMON Cowell was left looking baffled and annoyed when the semi final was thrown into chaos not once, but TWICE.
The first time that the show was thrust into a state of upheaval was when an eight year old magician failed to arrive on stage for his semi final performance.
Eight year old Teddy Magic was due to perform as the second act on Saturday's show, but Ant and Dec were forced to make an announcement beforehand.
Ant and Dec shared with the audience - and judges - how Teddy was delayed backstage.
When the Geordie duo announced this, Simon looked baffled.
Ant and Dec then affirmed how he is only eight years of age, but Simon didn't seem sympathetic of the fact.

The hosting duo were then left scrambling to fill the gap, asking Simon about the dinosaur act again even though he'd already spoken about it.
Ant and Dec then announced that the young magician would not be coming out yet, and would emerge on stage later instead.
Vinnie McKee then came out on stage and performed, leaving viewers even more battled.
Viewers were quick to react, with some saying how Ant and Dec proved themselves to be professionals once again, and others questioning why young children are allowed on the show.
"I hope Teddy is okay. Ant & Dec yet again prove their professionalism, knowing how to fill up the void and get the show going when things don’t go to plan," penned one viewer.
A second person then said: "I'm thinking that's why young kids shouldn't be on this show."
A third then added: "Poor kids probably struggling with stagefright, and yall are being absolutely disgusting to him. 'He's had ages, why is the act not ready, it's a joke, he's not getting through' ect, he's a kid!!"
While a fourth said: "Oh poor teddy. Hope he comes back #BGT."
And a fifth penned: "Poor lad. I bet he is really stressed out. His tricks are not ready. Come on lad. We're all rooting for you."
After Vinnie performed and a break was then had, Ant and Dec revealed that there was ANOTHER chaotic issue with the show.
The duo revealed how there was a second act - a dance group - who were delayed back stage.
They shared how there was a "technical problem" with The Blackouts.
Simon, once again, looked fuming with the technical issue, as Ant and Dec chatted to the judges while the crew backstage scrambled to sort things out.

"Jesus Simon looks fuming with all the mistakes in tonight’s show," penned one person.
Ant and Dec then revealed that the technical issue had been fixed and The Blackouts were about to take to the stage to perform.
