Published on April 26, 2025 at 08:18 PM

BRITAIN'S Got Talent has found itself locked in a huge fix row following the results of the first semi-final.

Amid a live show filled to the brim with chaos and blunders and acts going missing, ITV viewers were left seriously unhappy with the end result.

In a format change, one judge was allowed to send an act through to the final by using the golden buzzer as well as whoever received the top votes from the public.

In previous series, the act with the most votes automatically sailed through to the final with the panel then deciding who they preferred out of the second and third place.

In tonight's show, it was revealed that singer Vinnie McKee had topped the public vote and found himself in the final.

He beat fellow singer Linda Mudzenda who finished the night with the second most votes.

However, it did not take long before fans were quick to have their say as they insisted the wrong result had been landed upon.

One fan even branded the outcome a “fix” in a scathing comment.

They wrote online: “No way #BGT Was that a public vote !! Mediocre pub singer wins ! No way total fix by #SimonCowell.”

Another added: “LINDA IS OUT?! A f***ing fix. Vinnie is good but he’s not world class talent.

“What a mess this semi final was, possibly the worst semi final we’ve ever had. Simon get that helmet on.”

Before a third shared: “That’s a fix. She was better than him.”

Whilst a fourth echoed: THE SINGERS TOP 2???? ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS ???? Simon stop making the fact that it’s a fix so f***ing obvious.”

It wasn't the only chaos to hit the evening with actfor his act before it was later confirmed that he would not be performing.

Ant and Dec confirmed he would not appear as planned and then proceeded to say that they hoped to see him in another show over the coming weeks.

Teddy took to histo say “we are sorry about this” on his story.

Earlier on in the show,were forced to reveal that Teddy was “delayed” backstage.

The Geordie duo shared with the audience – and judges – how Teddy was delayed, which left head judge looking less than impressed.

With Simon looking angry, Ant and Dec then affirmed how he is only eight years of age, but Simon didn't seem sympathetic.
