What’s the scoop?
Britain’s Got Talent is heating up with a bit of family rivalry as both Simon Cowell and his son Eric’s favorite acts have advanced to the finals.
During the live show on Tuesday, both father and son were thrilled to see their top picks, Jack Rhodes and Haribow, secure spots in the grand final. This brings the total finalists to four, all vying for this year’s coveted title.
Despite the excitement, fans expressed disappointment at Ravi’s Dream Team missing out on a final spot at the last moment, leading to calls for them to be given a wild card entry.
The Details:
Tuesday’s live semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent proved successful for Simon Cowell and his son Eric as their favorite acts clinched spots in the finals, hinting at a potential family showdown on Sunday.
Simon Cowell’s choice, magician Jack Rhodes, secured his spot as a finalist by winning the public vote. When asked by hosts Ant and Dec about his feelings on making it to Sunday’s final, Rhodes exclaimed, “I’m ecstatic! Wait, is the final on Sunday? I better get my act ready then.” Earlier in the evening, Cowell praised him, saying, “You’re currently the frontrunner to win it all. Your performance was incredible!”
Meanwhile, Eric Cowell was seen celebrating with Amanda Holden’s daughter Hollie after their jointly favored act, Japanese skipping troupe Haribow, made it through to the final. They had pushed the Golden Buzzer for Haribow during auditions.
The judges’ vote was split between Haribow and Ravi’s Dream Team, necessitating a public vote to decide the second finalist. Ultimately, Haribow garnered more viewer votes and secured their spot.
While fans were sad to see Ravi’s Dream Team exit, some hoped they might return as a wild card entry in the final.
