A Britain’s Got Talent act suffered a slight blunder seconds into their performance – and Simon Cowell was quick to react.
The ITV show was back on screens on Tuesday (May 28) for the second live semi-final. Acts like Dance group Blitzers and Magician Jack Rhodes all battled it out for a place in the epic final.
But when it came to Matteo Fraziano’s performance – things took an awkward turn just seconds in. The shadow artist and illusionist appeared to struggle to get his torch set up properly.

Ever the professional, he managed to quickly sort it out and continue with his performance. The judges then gave him a round of applause before he started his act.
He ended up putting on a fantastic performance, and even recruited co-host included Dec Donnelly. Showing off his puppet skills, Matteo had the audience and judges cheering along.
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to pick up on the awkward moment. Over on X, one person said: “oops technical issue lol.” Someone else added: “He couldn’t get the light to stand still..” A third chimed in and said: “Can’t even set up a torch, this is going well.”
Other fans shared their amazement at the act, with one writing: “If you think the shadow puppet guy isn’t genius, you can f*** off into space.” Someone else added: “Oh it’s a joy to see you again Matteo.
“I think I like shadow puppets now. Loved all the stuff you did with Dec as well.” Receiving feedback from the judges, Simon praised Matteo for carrying on, telling him “good for you!”
He explained: “For you to recover after I thought honestly the whole thing was just not going to happen at the beginning. And you really picked yourself up quickly. So good for you!” He added, as the audience cheered him on.
However, Alesha Dixon was not that impressed with the performance. She admitted that it didn’t set her on fire like his first audition had done.
