The family of Britain's Got Talent star Teddy Magic have broken their silence after it was confirmed the young magician has quit the competition
Britain's Got Talent sensation Teddy Magic's family have released a statement after the young performer withdrew from the competition. The eight year old magician was set to dazzle at the first live semi-final, however, he unexpectedly pulled out.
During last month's live episode, presenters Ant and Dec informed viewers that Teddy required more time. They then clarified on air that Teddy would not be appearing that evening but anticipated his performance at a later date. It has now been revealed that Teddy will not make a comeback in the current of BGT, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the show.
Following this announcement, Teddy's family expressed their gratitude and shared a touching update: "We want to thank everyone who has supported Teddy and cheered him on – he continues to fill our world with magic," they conveyed to The Sun.
A BGT representative 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.", reports the Mirror.
The ITV talent show is all set to wrap up on Saturday, May 31 with two more semi-finals before the finale. Over the previous weekend, dance troupe Ping Pong Pang clinched their place in the final, joining drag queen opera sensation Jasmine Rice.
Jasmine Rice progressed to the ultimate showdown in 2025 following a Golden Buzzer from Bruno Tonioli, fast-tracking her to the final stage.
Jasmine didn't have to endure the nerve-wracking results at the end of the show, having secured her spot immediately after her stunning performance.
The other acts, however, had to wait until all the viewers' votes were tallied to learn their fate. Danger man Bao came in last, followed by musician Rumac.
He had a tough time on stage, receiving buzzers from Bruno, Amanda and Alesha but managed to continue performing.
Rumac was followed by Harry and Lewsi, Mickey Callisto, Albert Amores and Electric Umbrella. This meant that dance group Ping Pong Pang had garnered enough votes to join Jasmine Rice in the final.
They will be joining Vinnie McKee (singer), The Blackouts (dance group), Stacey Leadbeatter (singer), Olly Pearson (guitarist) who are already in the final.
The upcoming final will see the remaining BGT contestants vying to impress the judges and the public one last time for a chance to win £250,000 and a spot performing at the Royal Variety Performance.
This weekend, Britain's Got Talent has undergone a scheduling reshuffle as the live semi-final will air on Sunday night instead of the usual Saturday primetime slot.
Instead, viewers will be tuning into ITV to watch the FA Cup Final as Crystal Palace and Manchester City face off at Wembley. The football match kicks off at 3pm, but scheduling bosses have allowed for any run over time.
