Britain's Got Talent: Is Teddy Magic performing this weekend? ITV issue update after last-minute schedule change

The child magician, 8, shocked viewers when we withdrew from the first live semi-final, which aired on April 26. Hosts Ant & Dec were forced to pad for time during the first live episode of the series after the act was unexpectedly not ready during the first semi-final.

Teddy was initially set to perform later in the show after viewers were told that his act wasn’t ready to perform yet. Judge Simon Cowell was seen telling Ant & Dec: "It's fine, it's fine. If he's not ready, he's not ready."

However, before the end of the episode, fans were informed that Teddy would not be performing that evening, and instead would be performing in another semi-final. Viewers were left concerned about the young boy, but ITV said in an update that the reason for his withdrawal was due to last-minute issues with his act.

BGT fans were hoping that Teddy would be performing in last week’s semi-final but the magician remained missing from the line-up.
