Following the tense exchange, which saw Ant and Dec uncharacteristically lose their composure, the pair issued a brutal warning to the BGT judges, KSI<\/a>, Alesha Dixon<\/a>, Amanda Holden<\/a> and Simon Cowell<\/a>. After the show opened, Ant sarcastically remarked: “I just love live television,” to which Dec echoed: “There\u2019s nothing better.” The hosting duo then made their way to the panel and cautioned: “Judges, I just want to clear something up here, we\u2019ve had quite the drama on the telly last night, so can you please, you four, be on your best behaviour tonight.”<\/p>\n

In a hilarious nod to the campmates’ reactions, Dec joked: “If you misbehave, you\u2019ll be out quicker than Sinitta.”<\/p>\n

Addressing viewers, the hosts revealed that the live show’s golden buzzer is back and unveiled Amanda as the only judge able to send contestants straight to the final.<\/p>\n

She also referenced the hosts’ I’m A Celebrity composure after Dec asked: “Can you handle the pressure of the first semi-final golden buzzer?”<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old responded: “After watching your extraordinary performance last night, boys, I\u2019ve learnt from the best.”<\/p>\n

As Ant and Dec bellowed with laughter, she added: “I can handle the pressure, I\u2019m really excited because I know we\u2019ve got a good show ahead. It\u2019s going to be great.”<\/p>\n

Fans also commented on the hosts’ warning, taking to social media with their reactions. One shared: “Ant and Dec addressing we had quite the night last night, yeah on I\u2019m A Celeb #BGT.”<\/p>\n

Another noted: “Ant & Dec already making jokes about last night #BritainsGotTalent #BGT.”<\/p>\n

“#BGT Ant and Dec are just happy that no one will be shouting at them tonight,” remarked a third.<\/p>\n

While another viewer penned: “Feel sorry for Ant and Dec, they had a s*** night last night. Professionals to the end.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following the tense exchange, which saw Ant and Dec uncharacteristically lose their composure, the pair issued a brutal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[88700,183172,183169,183171,183170,62294,93,183173,34944,61,43822,60,8642,183168],"class_list":{"0":"post-417960","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-ant-and-dec","9":"tag-ant-and-dec-iac","10":"tag-bgt-judges","11":"tag-bgt-live-semi-final","12":"tag-bgt-semi-finals","13":"tag-britains-got-talent","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-im-a-celeb-final","16":"tag-im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-im-a-celebrity","19":"tag-ireland","20":"tag-itv","21":"tag-itv-bgt"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
