The finale of Britain’s Got Talent is currently underway, and mere minutes into the show, everyone is saying the same thing. The hunt to find the UK's next star to perform at the Royal Variety will reach its end tonight.
Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Bruno Tonioli will cast their eyes over the finalists in season 18's showpiece event as Ant and Dec front the show.10 acts will take to the stage for the last time. The betting odds for the final have been revealed and indicate Hear Me Out will take home the crown in 2025.
However, it is a completely different act that has got everyone talking on social media. As the finalists were being introduced on stage, many fans at home shared similar thoughts about this year’s wild card, Han and Fran.
The work besties-turned pop girlies got eliminated last weekend on Saturday, May 21, during the semi-finals. The two were vying to become the first Welsh winners of the show, but their dreams were crushed - or so they thought.
The pair were called back for a second chance, with Simon explaining: “They got a massive vote from the public, and therefore they deserve a chance at the final.”
The two were the first to take to the stage tonight and performed an ABBA medley. But some fans were less than impressed.
Alex said: “Han and Fran got the judges wild card; I didn't expect them to get it.” Sarah said: “They had all of those options and they picked them?”
Phillip wrote: “Han & Fran is the wildcard?! I loved them but surely there was better acts to bring to the final.”
Zombi added: “What a waste of a wildcard”, whereas Phil said: “Stop making excuses why Han and Fran made the wild card. A final place wasted.”
However, the judges felt completely different about the two. Simon said their performance was the pair’s best so far adding: “You're gutsy and you sounded great.”
Amanda claimed they were one of her favourite acts ever to grace the stage, reminding her of her friends, and Alesha had similar praise.”
