A Britain's Got Talent favourite is still in hospital after a terrifying injury sustained during the grand finale of this year's competition. A performer from the Ssaulabi Performance Troupe was whisked away to hospital just as the ITV talent show wrapped up earlier this month.The injury reportedly occurred during a daring aerial stunt in the live final, which ended with vocalist Sydnie Christmas taking the 2024 title. The mishap unfolded when two members of the Korean martial arts ensemble accidentally crashed into each other mid-air instead of breaking a wooden block.

Britain’s Got Talent’s live final on Sunday night, 2 May, had audiences on the edge of their seats, as the live show encountered an unfortunate mishap. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted a member of Korean taekwondo stars Ssaulabi Performance Troupe suffering a freak accident as they performed in front of the judges. During their performance, in which the troupe smashed planks whilst being thrown in the air, two members collided mid air, as one came tumbling down to the ground.

The voting percentages for the final of Britain's Got Talent have been revealed after Sydnie Christmas bagged the win during Sunday (2 June) evening's grand final - pocketing the whopping £250,000 cash prize while also securing a slot to sing at the Royal Variety Performance later this year. It has been confirmed that Sydnie took 27% of the public vote after wowing judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli with her rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow during the final. While Magician Jack Rhodes, who placed second, had 15.8% of the public vote behind him.Troupe Haribow had the lowest votes of the evening with 3.1%.

Simon Cowell has responded to claims that the winner of this year's Britain's Got Talent was a 'fix'. Singer Sydnie Christmas was crowned the 2024 winner during the live final on Sunday night (2 June) which saw her burst into floods of tears as the stage was covered in confetti.The young singer's rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow saw her steal the show and scoop up the whopping £250,000 cash prize, while also securing a slot to sing at the Royal Variety Performance later this year.

It appears that Amanda Holden's position on Britain's Got Talent has been pretty much "established". Although the 2024 series isn't over yet, it seems like fans may enjoy their favourite judge on the panel for another couple of years. The star managed to put Simon Cowell on the spot during the grand finale which aired on Sunday June 2.

Britain's Got Talent fans were left frustrated as the series final aired on Sunday, 2 June, declaring that it was "ruined" because of the passionate reactions from the live audience. During the highly-anticipated final, viewers complained about the overwhelming crowd noise - predominantly booes - which regularly interrupted former Strictly star Bruno Tonioli's commentary during the first few acts.

Fans were left confused after Bruno Tonioli appeared to face 'boos' during the live Britain's Got Talent final on Sunday, 2 June.The unexpected response came as Bruno was being interviewed by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly about the evening's performances. The Italian choreographer, who is a fresh face on the BGT judging panel after replacing David Walliams, shared his enthusiasm for the show, saying: "I enjoyed it so much! And as long as they want me, I'm on it, because obviously I haven't done it before and they allow me to be myself.They have all been so supportive, and for me, every show is an adventure, and that's how I approach it.

Britain's Got Talent may be known as a rather happy show with its dancing dogs and singing children, but as the 17th series draws to a close, it's rather unsurprising that there have been some behind-the-scenes scandals. From doggy fraud, to fix accusations, and one judge being booted off the show, BGT has certainly hit headlines over the years, with some of these scandals looming larger than others.

The Britain's Got Talent live final has been an emotional rollercoaster for one of the contestants, who was spotted shedding tears on the London underground mere hours before the big event. Sydnie Christmas, 28, isn't overwhelmed by the pressure of performing live, but rather she's been brought to tears by sheer happiness after receiving a social media follow from one of her musical heroes.

Bobby first auditioned in the very first episode of the 2024 series and has since become notorious for his multiple appearances, each time claiming he'd forgotten he'd already performed and been buzzed off. But it seems Bobby wasn't quite ready to leave the competition just yet, as he made another surprise appearance during the final auditions of the series.
