Ant and Dec forced to halt Britain's Got Talent live show to tell Simon Cowell off

Ant and Dec were forced to halt Britain's Got Talent after the first act in tonight's semi final the show.

The judges on the ITV show were in the process of giving their feedback to double act Romeo and Icy when the Geordie duo had to stop Amanda Holden as she was giving her thoughts on the performance.

It comes after fellow judge Simon Cowell was repeatedly 'meowing' into his microphone, distracting from what Amanda had to say.

Stepping in, Ant and Dec shouted at Simon to get his attention, before Dec continued: "Simon, can we just hear what they've got to say to the guys please, thank you."

Simon quickly held his hands up and apologised for disrupting the show, replying: "Sorry".

But his actions didn't go unnoticed on social media, with one person posting on Twitter: "What's up with Simon making those stupid noises, very childish and not very professional."

"Is Simon ok?", a second wrote. While another added: "Am I missing something? Just turned over the channel to hear Simon meowing?"

"Probably trying to channel last nights CGI cat!", another joked. While one viewer said: "Love that Ant and Dec just told Simon off."

Romeo and Icy were just one of the acts battling it out for one of the last places in the final. The final will take place on ITV on Sunday.
