Britain's Got Talent final chaos as THREE acts make awkward mistakes

In case you missed it, last night was the Britain’s Got Talent final, with pianist Tokio Myers taking home the gold and being announced as this year’s winner and eight-year-old magician Issy Simpson coming a close second.

However, whilst the majority of acts went on without a hitch, no less than three finalists suffered mistakes in their performances – including ‘mind-reading’ magicians, DNA.

The pair, who had previously wowed viewers and the judges alike with their mindboggling talent, made an awkward error as they asked judge David Walliams what page number of a book he had stopped on.

Darren, 29, then wrote down a number but was left mortified when it was revealed that he had written down ’81’ and David had stopped on page ’31’.

Apologising for the mistake, the embarrassed hopeful said: “Very close. I’m going to change it. I did get 81, excuse me.”

The rest of the act went smoothly and left everybody suitably amazed, especially the judges who gave Darren and his co-star Andrew a standing ovation and reassured them that making a mistake just proves how hard what they do is.

Meanwhile, controversial 9-year-old comic Ned Woodman was left embarrassed when he forgot his words during his performance.

The schoolboy stumbled over his script, leaving an awkward silence as he tried to remember what part of his stand-up routine came next, although he was thankfully able to recover and continue with the rest of his performance as planned.

Finally, Alesha Dixon’s Golden Buzzer act, MerseyGirls, left viewers concerned when Julia Carlile almost fell off a chair during their dance routine, with a look of panic sweeping across the teen’s face as the rest of the troupe quickly grabbed onto her arms to steady her.

Tellingly, the three acts that suffered mistakes ended up in the bottom three of last night’s result, with DNA receiving the fewest viewer votes, Ned coming in at second to last and MerseyGirls finishing third from the bottom.

Pianist Tokio Myers was crowned the winner of last night’s show, with eight-year-old magician Issy Simpson coming in second place and Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer, comic Daliso Chaponda coming in third.
