Britain’s Got Talent<\/a> host Declan Donnelly left viewers in hysterics on Saturday’s second live semi-final with his remark as one performance descended into chaos.<\/p>\n

During Saturday’s second live semi-final on 2 May<\/a>, viewers saw danger duo Alfredo and Coral, kid ravers Braunstone Community Primary School, illusionist Fabian Fox, singer Katherine O’Malley, freestyle rappers Macshane and Delby, singer Nic Vani, dance troupe Sadeck Berrabah and LMA and dance group World Wings.<\/p>\n

However, it was during Katherine O’Malley’s feedback for her performance when things descended into chaos.<\/p>\n

Katherine, who had previously auditioned for the show in 2018, 2019, and 2020 with her husband Joe while performing classic Disney songs in costume, performed solo after being encouraged by judge Amanda Holden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After performing a few classic musical numbers, Katherine was joined by her husband, Joe, for her final song as he accompanied her on stage and tap danced.<\/p>\n

However, judges KSI and Alesha Dixon weren’t a fan of the audition pressing the dreaded red cross with a baffled KSI admitting: “I didn’t like that one bit, if I’m being honest”, adding: “I’m sorry, bro, but that was one of the worst tap dancing I\u2019ve ever seen in my life.”<\/p>\n

Yet Joe responded to KSI’s feedback, commenting that he used to be a boxer, he quipped: “Well, actually, I’m an ex boxer!” to which KSI was left in hysterics as Amanda quipped: “Fight, fight, fight!”<\/p>\n

As the two jokingly pretended to spar with each other on opposite sides of the room, host Dec, 50, quipped: “This is getting like I’m A Celebrity again, not again, not again!!” in a nod to the recent I’m A Celebrity<\/a>… South Africa live final, which descended into chaos.<\/p>\n

Joe then started to pretend to box the stage with Ant and Dec shouting: “Thank you Joe!” before shouting again: “Joe, Joe, Joe!” as he continued to box, pointing out they needed to talk to his wife, Katherine, who was the performer of the night after all.<\/p>\n

After getting Joe to stop boxing and interviewing Katherine, she said her performance was “really good fun” and she loved it. However, she failed to make it through to the final.<\/p>\n

It comes as last month, I’m A Celebrity… South Africa aired its final live in London in a studio, where Adam Thomas was announced as the winner. Adam, 37, was in the final four alongside Craig Charles, Mo Farah, and Harry Redknapp.<\/p>\n

However, things descended into chaos when David Haye and Jimmy Bullard got into a heated exchange with Adam, as well as hosts Ant and Dec, live on air.<\/p>\n

Ant and Dec were also forced to step in when David, 45, confronted Adam, 37, live on air.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were left in hysterics over Dec’s remark over Saturday’s Britain’s Got Talent. One person said: “Dec: “Not again.” #BGT” with laughing emojis to which another account wrote: “Made me laugh” while a different fan added: “Same” with laughing emojis.<\/p>\n
