Britain's Got Talent's Ant and Dec told to 'behave' after judges booed for stopping act

Ant and Dec were told to 'behave' by a Britain's Got Talent judge after the panel were booed for ending an act's audition on Saturday night. After a double header of episodes to launch the new series and two Golden Buzzers already hit, the popular ITV show continued this weekend, with more hopefuls looking to impress.

First to step into the limelight at the London Palladium was musician Accordion Ryan, as reported by the Chronicle Live. After Simon asked him the obvious question: "Are you going to play something today?" as Ryan stood right in front of him with his accordion, Ryan explained that he was originally from the USA, but was currently living in Austrian capital Vienna.

That prompted Simon to quiz: "So how did you get from there, to there to here?" But, before Ryan had a chance to answer, a man shouted from the crowd: "On a plane!"

As the audience started laughing and Ananda Holden cackled next to him, Simon added: "I know by plane, is this what you do full time?" Following Ryan's explanation that he was a teaching assistant, he launched into a bizarre accordion take on Flo-Rida hit Get Low, with him singing as well as playing his instrument.

It took just seconds for all of the panel to hit their X buzzers and end the audition, prompting boos from many of the London audience, with Amanda telling Ryan: I'm not sure this is something I'd feel confident presenting to the Royal Family."

However, just as the judges thought they'd heard the last of the accordion, hosts Ant and Dec, who looked unimpressed at the panel's harsh response to Ryan, started playing their own and wandered onto stage, prompting Alesha Dixon to tell them to 'behave,' as the hosts took a stance in support of the musician.
