Oh dear!

Britain's Got Talent viewers were left scratching their heads after last night's episode (29th May). After singing pensioner Colin Thackery and comedian Kojo Anim went through to this weekend's final, the leaderboard flashed up to show the finalists who would be performing.

However, instead of showing comedian Siobhan Phillips, who had wowed everyone with her hilarious song about her toddler-age daughter, the leaderboard showed a picture of stuntman Matt Stirling - who was booted out of the show on Tuesday evening's episode (28th May).

BGT viewers and fans of Siobhan started to panic at the thought of her potentially not going through after all, with many taking to Twitter to express their confusion and concern over the matter.

One wrote, 'So judging by the finalists on #bgt the screen is missing Siobhan but showing Matt Sterling', as another added, 'Oops, this is a mistake, where's Siobhan Phillips', and one other commented, 'Anyone spot the error on #BGT finalist list? ⁩Where is Siobhan Phillips?'

Singer Colin Thackery was sent through to the final thanks to the public's vote, and the 89-year-old made a heartfelt speech of thanks to his voters and also his grandchildren, who were sat in the audience.

The judges then had to choose between Kojo Anim and John Archer - unsurprisingly, Simon chose to save his Golden Buzzer act Kojo, with Amanda and Alesha following suit, which meant that David didn't even need to vote.

The correct list of finalists for the final this Sunday (2nd June) is: Kojo Anim, Colin Thackery, Siobhan Phillips, 4MG, Dave & Finn and Flakefleet Primary School.

The Britain's Got Talent final will air on Sunday 2nd June at 7.30pm on ITV.
