When the last episode of the audition stage aired in May, viewers felt gutted as it missed out the semi-finalist reveal segment. Instead, it ended on a massive cliffhanger.
At the time, one viewer fumed: “They could have still showed us the judges picking the acts for the semi-finals #BGT.”
The search continues for this year’s winner.
Another said: “What about the choices for the semi-finals? It feels so strange and weird not being able to see who got through. This is a first. #BGT.”
A third demanded: “So we’re not getting told who is through to the semi-finals then? #BGT.”
