BGT fans stunned as child appears to call Ant and Dec a shockingly rude word on air

Britain’s Got Talent fans were initially surprised as hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were interrupted live on air.

As they went to introduce the next act during the live BGT semi-finals, Ant and Dec looked shocked as they were suddenly stopped.

A little girl shouted “cut” before standing in front of them, and asking for the audience’s attentions.

But some fans were convinced the little one swore at Ant and Dec, mishearing the word “cut” as “c***”.
