Britain’s Got Talent was left in chaos as an audience member was arrested on Saturday night. ITV’s weekend schedule had already got off to a dramatic start with the I’m A Celebrity<\/a>…South Africa final, which saw contestants like Gemma Collins and Sinitta walk off stage as the row between Adam Thomas<\/a>, Jimmy Bullard and David Haye reached breaking point.<\/p>\n During Saturday’s semi-final of the long-running competition series, which was broadcast live from The Hammersmith Apollo in West London, ITV<\/a> security teams had to get involved and remove a woman from the building.<\/p>\n The Sun claims that the ‘screaming’ audience member was held outside the building by the crew and after cops arrived was handcuffed and taken away in a police van.<\/p>\n Singer Alexandra Burke<\/a>, who won The X Factor<\/a> in 2008 and enjoyed major success with hits like Hallelujah and Broken Heels before going onto a career in musicals, was also outside the theatre where she was having a photoshoot done prior to taking to the stage herself.<\/p>\n The BGT semi-finals are underway(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n The outlet claims that the star, who has also previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> and served as a guest judge on The X Factor and RuPaul’s Drag Race, was rushed inside for her own safety.<\/p>\n The Mirror<\/a> has contacted Met Police and Britain’s Got Talent<\/a> representatives for comment.<\/p>\n The evening was not without its drama elsewhere, either, as Ant and Dec were back in full force to carry out their hosting duties following the events of the night before. As the first semi-final got underway, head judge Simon Cowell took aim at Dec. Dec tried to wrap up the judges’ feedback for magician Fraser Penman after the act and the commentary went on a bit long.<\/p>\n Dec was heard shouting out: “Thank you judges, thank you very much”, calling for an end to the speaking, wanting to move on with the live show. But fans noticed Simon “rudely” hit back at this.<\/p>\n Alexandra Burke was said to be outside the theatre when the incident unfolded(Image: Dymond\/TalkbackThames\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n The star was on the show to promote her latest role in I’m Every Woman: The Chaka Khan Musical(Image: Dymond\/TalkbackThames\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n He told Dec: “I’m still talking!” Dec appeared taken aback by this. While Simon was pointing out he hadn’t finished what he had to say, fans didn’t think it was very fair, especially after the chaos the hosts had faced the night before.<\/p>\n Taking to social media one fan said: “I’m still talking? F**k off Simon.” A second fan said: “‘I\u2019m still talking’ Simon I think Ant and Dec have had enough attitude for this weekend.”<\/p>\n A third fan posted: “Wow @SimonCowell is a little rude I\u2019m still talking!” Another viewer said: “‘I\u2019m still talking’ God he\u2019s such a d**k. Pack it up Dec, you don\u2019t need the money.”<\/p>\n Another viewer said: “I’m still talking lol,” as a final post read: “Omg I couldn’t tell if he’d said that or ‘I’ll stop talking’, poor Dec, hasn’t he been through enough?”<\/p>\n Britain\u2019s Got Talent 2026\u2019s live shows air Saturdays at 7PM on ITV1 and ITVX. *<\/p>\n Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok <\/a>, Snapchat <\/a>, Instagram <\/a>, Twitter <\/a>, Facebook <\/a>, YouTube <\/a>and Threads <\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"BGT](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/0_ThamesITV.jpg\")
