BGT issues statement after Ant McPartlin’s nasty fall during semi-final
Britain’s Got Talent has reassured fans after they were left stunned following Ant McPartlin ’s nasty fall during the show’s live semi-final.
The 47-year-old, who hosts the ITV talent show alongside Declan Donnelly, took a scary tumble as he rushed on stage to join previous BGT winners Diversity.
Ant was seen by horrified viewers skidding across the stage before collapsing in a heap with his legs in the air, having landed on his back.
Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli were in hysterics following the dramatic fall, and couldn’t stop laughing at poor Ant who was lying dazed on the floor.
