Ant and Dec were forced to halt the live BGT show and tell Simon Cowell off after he appeared to make a savage dig at his female judges and co-stars.
The last semi-final of the week kicked off on Friday night (June 2) with another batch of budding entertainers hoping to bag a place in the final.
But things took a rather awkward turn when Simon seemed to make a dig at his female judges – causing hosts Ant and Dec to tell him off.

Starting the show tonight was dance act Romeo and Icy – and despite the audience, and Simon, loving their performance – the other judges were not.
As Alesha started to give her critique on the two lads, Simon started mimicking a cat and spoke into his microphone.
“For me in terms of dance level I’m looking for, I still don’t think it’s good enough to win the show,” Alesha said – causing an uproar from the audience.
As they all booed, Alesha quipped: “It’s just a personal taste.”
But when it was Amanda turn’s to share her thoughts, Simon wasn’t done – and proceeded to make cat noises.
And it appeared Simon’s dig riled up ITV bosses as Ant and Dec were then forced to tell the music mogul off.
“Simon, Simon, we just need to listen to them,” Ant said, before letting Amanda carry on with her thoughts.
And Simon’s dig didn’t go amiss from viewers at home, with one person writing on Twitter: “LOL at Simon!!”
“Simon doing cat noises, too funny” said one viewer, as another quipped: “Simon making cat noises was cringey as f**k!”
A third fumed: “I thought Simon was rude making cat sounds while Amanda was speaking.”
Elsewhere on the show, Ant and Dec were seen pleading with head judge Simon Cowell to bring back one of the show’s dumped acts.
The dynamic duo were chatting to the judges ahead of the first act’s performance as the fifth and final night of the semi-finals got underway.
But as they began chatting to Simon about what to expect on the show, Ant cheekily asked Simon is act MB14 could get their place back in the show after being kicked out on last night’s episode.
