Britain's Got Talent host Ant McPartlin leaves set as contestant's future hangs in balance

Britain's Got Talent co-host Ant McPartlin left the set during Saturday night's show, April 29, after he became bored of one of the acts. Three golden buzzers have already been hit since the show returned this month, with Bruno Tonioli joining the judging panel.

But Ant appeared to vote with his feet on one audition as he used a scooter used by one of the acts as their future on the show hung in the balance, Chronicle Live reports. Dog owner Olga and her two dogs Bonnie and Samba were hoping to become another canine success story on the show.

However, the group had to make it to the next round and, as Reet Petite played out on stage, things got off to a good start when one of the dogs got on a scooter, as the audience applauded. However, things then took a chaotic turn for the worse, when Olga tried and failed to get the dogs to do what she wanted, prompting all of the judges to hit their buzzers to bring the audition to an end.

In an effort to move forward in the competition, Olga said the dogs could play piano, as Simon Cowell responded: "If you're saying they really can play the piano..." before asking Olga to let the dogs demonstrate their apparent musical abilities.

However, not sticking around to see what happened next, Ant, who was standing in the wings with Dec, got on the scooter used in the audition and commented: "It's taking a while this isn't it? I'm just going to scoot," with him then making a swift exit, as things continued to go awry on stage, before Simon told Olga to come back another day to prove her claims about the dogs' skills were true.
