Britain's Got Talent act has surprise announcement for family live on stage

Britain's got Talent star Jacob Jones had a surprise announcement for his family after today's performance.

Jacob sang a version of Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately" to the audience , but finished at his fiancee's feet.

The judges were less than impressed with his performance, saying he had a good tone and the song was fine, but that it had become more about him and his fiancee Faye's love story.

Jacob, 27, proposed to Faye during his original audition and tonight he had another surprise for his fans.

Just before he left the stage he said to Ant and Dec: "And there's one more surprise, we haven't told our family, we've been waiting for tonight, but Faye is expecting a baby."

The couple already have a daughter called Nancy Raem born in September last year.

The judges and Ant and Dec congratulated the singer - but fans on Twitter were less than impressed.

One said: "If Jacob Jones gets through to the final.. He'll probably do the gender reveal.."

Another said: "The next surprise if Jacob gets through to the final on Sunday is that he’s running to be Tory leader."

And a third added: "Jacob, thats so cringe. @AmandaHolden was right its about the love story, not his singing. Next!"

*BGT continues on Sunday on ITV
