BGT acts Ben Nickless and Golden Buzzer act Flintz and Taylor through to 2022 final

Britain's Got Talent acts Ben Nickless and Flintz and Taylor have made it through to Sunday night's grand final.

The second live semi-final took place on Tuesday evening and saw another eight contestants take to the stage at London's Hammersmith Apollo to try and impress the judging panel.

Towards the end of the show, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed which three acts were safe.

Comedian and impressionist Ben had received the most votes on Tuesday evening, and it was up to Flintz and Taylor to battle it out with Amber and the Dancing Collies.

Their fate was in the hands of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams as they were told to choose who they wanted to see go through to the final on Sunday 5 June.

Comedian David chose to save Flintz and Taylor, as did Alesha - which came as no surprise as she had used her Golden Buzzer on the duo.

"I mean Amber, you know how much I love you, everyone knows how much I love dogs but I have to go with my boys, I love you! Flintz and Taylor you're my pick!" Alesha shouted out.

Amanda decided to save Amber and her two performing dogs, so the deciding vote came down to music mogul Simon.

As hosts Ant and Dec pressed Simon for an answer, he admitted that he would have preferred it if Amber had stuck to performing with just one dog - and chose to save Flintz and Taylor.

"Well done fellas, congratulations Ben," Dec said to the finalists before asking Ben how it felt to get through on his birthday.

"Amazing, I can't believe it! It's just the best birthday ever!" Ben said as Dec joked: "You're welcome!"

Flintz and Taylor then added: "It's so mad, thank you to everyone!"

Back in April, it was revealed that the 22-year-old and 17-year-old duo met in person for the first time at their very first BGT audition after meeting online during lockdown in 2020.

They went on to wow the judges with their blend of rap and piano, reducing former pop star Alesha to tears.

"Nothing makes me happier than seeing young musicians," Alesha told them. "You had something to say Flintz. We've had no one on the show like you before and that's brilliant."

Ben and Flintz and Taylor join Maxwell Thorpe and Jamie Leahey in the line-up for Sunday's final.

The Britain's Got Talent semi-finals continue this week at 8pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
