Ant and Dec offer their support after a Britain's Got Talent final act goes wrong

Ant and Dec offered their support to Britain's Got Talent contestants Flintz & Taylor after they made a mistake during their final act.

The Geordie hosts shared some useful advice after Flintz, 23, forgot some of the lyrics during their performance.

Flintz & Taylor, 17, who are a rapper/pianist duo, first met online during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. They first met in person at their audition earlier this year.

Alesha Dixon was so impressed by their act she gave them the golden buzzer, landing them straight in to live semi-finals.

They then reached the grand finale after judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha voted them through over two others.

For the finale, they performed an original song inspired by their journey on the show. However, Flintz, unfortunately, forgot some of the lyrics at the start of the track.

While Flintz was wiping tears away, the judges and Ant and Dec tried to comfort them.

Ant told the musician: "It doesn't get better than working with your best friend, trust me. Just enjoy it, enjoy it."

Before Ant offered his advice, Alesha spoke to Flintz 'artist to artist' and told him stumbling over his performance isn't something he should worry about.

"Artist to artist, it doesn't matter whatever anyone tells you tonight, you're going to feel bad and I know what that feels like," she explained.

"You're going to come off stage and you're going to beat yourself up about this. But, let me tell you something right now; what you've done, what you guys have achieved together on this show far outweighs any teeny tiny mistake up there."

The BGT judge added: "And I promise you this, you are going to inspire so many other kids to get out and do what they want and fight because this music industry is hard. And I'm telling you now boys, this is just the beginning."

Flintz & Taylor never intended to become a double-act but were given microphone by mistake before their audition.

Quacey Goodman, aka Flintz, had previously twice auditioned solo for the ITV show with no success.

Quacey asked Taylor to put a melody behind his rap but they met in real life only on the day of the audition as Quacey lives in Croydon, South London, and Taylor lives in Great Barr, Birmingham.

They had rehearsed in person only once when producers accidentally offered them both microphones before ushering them onto the stage.
