BGT's Ant and Dec forced to intervene and address 'screaming' audience as fans crown 'winner'

Ant Mc Partlin and Declan Donnelly were forced to intervene during tonight's Britain's Got Talent live semi-final as the audience screamed and struggled to calm down.

Dancer Musa Motha, 27, left the judges and audience floored with his incredible performance - with many declaring that he would win the whole show.

The dancer, who in his first audition explained that he had his leg amputated after being diagnosed with cancer, performed yet another stunning routine that had the judges on their feet and wiping away tears.

Following his performance, he was congratulated with a thunderous applause - but the audience were a little too excited and Ant and Dec were forced to step in.

The pair later suffered a minor blunder as they were unable to read some of the phone lines, with Ant explaining in frustration: "We couldn't hear it because of the screaming."

Among those also performing tonight included Gamal John, 36, who wowed the judges with his rendition of James Brown classic It's A Man's Man's World.

Judge Bruno was so bowled over by the audition that he whacked his golden buzzer, prompting gold confetti to rain on the stage.

Also competing in tonight's line-up was illusionist Enzo Weyne, ukelele musician and school teacher Abi Carter-Simpson, comedian Ichikawa Koikuchi, sunbed receptionist-turned-singer Amy Lou, the Parkour Collective and ballroom and Latin group United 2 Dance (KLA).

All the acts are competing for a chance at winning a life-changing £250,000 and a spot on the Royal Variety Show.
