BGT bosses confirm Teddy Magic has pulled out of the competition
He didn't appear in the first Semi-Final
Last updated 16th May 2025
Ever since eight-year-old magician Teddy Magic failed to perform during the first Britain's Got Talent live Semi-Final last month, viewers have been wondering if he will return to the show ahead of the final.
Will Teddy Magic return to BGT?
But ahead of the fourth Semi-Final this weekend, which will air on Sunday night, BGT bosses have now confirmed the young performer has withdrawn from the competition.
A BGT Spokesperson said: “After discussions with Teddy’s parents and the production team, it has been jointly agreed that Teddy won’t perform in this year’s semi-finals, but BGT hopes to see Teddy again in a future series.”
Teddy's parents have thanked 'everyone' that has supported their son throughout his time on the show.
Teddy wowed judges KSI, Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon during his audition, which aired in February. The eight-year-old pulled pranks on the judges using a special card trick, sailing through the Semi-Finals.
Teddy was scheduled to perform during the first live show on Saturday 26th April, but just moments before he was due on stage, hosts Ant and Dec announced he would need more time.
Later in the show, the hosts announced Teddy wouldn't appear on the episode, but fans would see him in another Semi-Final.
