Britain’s Got Talent has always been a stage for the unexpected—but this season, it wasn’t just the magic that stunned viewers. When finalist Harry Moulding ended his semi-final performance with a jaw-dropping on-stage proposal to his girlfriend Jess, the audience roared with applause. But soon after, a different kind of spotlight found him: backlash.
Appearing on Lorraine, Harry finally addressed the controversy head-on, speaking with sincerity and a touch of disbelief. “I never expected such a response,” he admitted. “The proposal wasn’t a gimmick—it was the most personal, heartfelt moment of my life. Yes, it was part of a magic act, but the love and emotions were absolutely real.”
Critics online had questioned whether the romantic twist was a publicity stunt or a cleverly rehearsed trick. Some called it manipulative, while others accused the couple of faking their engagement for attention. But Harry remained composed, choosing love over drama. “My goal was to create something unforgettable, not just as a performer—but as a partner,” he said.
Adding to the authenticity, Jess herself took to social media to defend the moment. “I’m still floating on cloud 9,” she wrote. “Anyone who knows us knows our love is real. Nothing can ruin this for me.”
Harry’s emotional reveal on Lorraine came just days before the highly anticipated BGT final, and if anything, the controversy has only made him more determined to shine. “This has made me stronger,” he said. “I’m using the noise as fuel. The final is going to be something truly special.”
Whether viewers stand behind him or remain skeptical, one thing’s clear—Harry Moulding isn’t backing down. As he prepares for the final showdown, he’s not just performing magic—he’s living it.
