Britain’s Got Talent fans were left disappointed and annoyed just minutes into tonight’s shows, as they claimed it was the worst final line-up ever ahead of Sunday’s big final.
Tonight, Alex Mitchell, Amasing, Cyberagent Legit, The Dark Hero, Denise and Stefan, Gambino Akuboy, Messoudi Brothers and Trixy were the remaining eight contestants to take to the stage.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly graced the stage and the audience with their charisma and welcomed the judges who were already in their seats, before revealing who was on the show.
However, just minutes into the show, fans were already complaining that it was the “worst” semi-final ever and quickly took to their X accounts to complain.
One slammed: “Time for the last night of these boring semi-finals.”
“The beyond abysmal final semi-final begins,” another quipped before a third agreed: “Poor quality last night and starting at a low point tonight.”

A fourth viewer asked: “What has happened to Britain’s Got Talent letting these c**p acts through.”
“Think it’s had its day if the judges think that’s talent,” someone else said before a sixth complained: “Utter rubbish, so fed up with this series now. Has to be the worst ever semi-final.”
However, not everyone was unimpressed with the acts as one excited viewer penned: “Should be a good one tonight!”
“OH THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! A great way to get us in the mood for the weekend!” another expressed. (sic)

Viewers have been complaining about the semi-finals all week, with the main complaint being that the judges seem to be leaving it down to the public vote to put through the second semi-final winner.
On Wednesday night, Sydney Christmas was crowned as the winner for the third semi-finals, leaving impressionist Mike Woodhams and dancer Leightonjay Halliday to be chosen by the judges.
Bruno Tonioli and Amanda Holden both voted for Halliday, with Alesha Dixon voting for Woodhams, leaving Cowell the deciding vote.
For the second night in a row, he admitted how hard it was for him to make a decision and decided to throw it to the public vote, meaning Woodhams made it through to the final with Christmas and sent Halliday packing.

The same happened again on Thursday night after Northants Sings Out and Phoenix Boys were down to the final two after Abigail and Afronitta won the round.
Unable to decide again, it was Dixon who initially split the vote and left Holden and Cowell to choose separately, meaning Northants Sings Out won the vote and made it through to the final.
