Britain's Got Talent host Ant McPartlin made a swift exit from the show last night as the future of one contestant hung in the balance. Not enthused by the idea of two dogs playing a keyboard that was turned off, Ant joked "I'm scooting" before heading off on a scooter.
BGT is a show known for its dogs acts, with two of its champion since its launch in 2007, being canine entertainers and on Saturday night, millions of viewers saw dog owner Olga and her dogs Bonnie and Simba try to follow in their footsteps, reports Chronicle Live.
The trio had to make it to the next round to stand any chance of having a shot at the 2023 title and, as Reet Petite played out on stage, things got off to a good start when one of the dogs got o 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 abrupt end.
Trying to win the judges over and claw back her chances of going through, Olga told them that the dogs could play piano, with Simon Cowell responding: "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.
