He went to take a sip from his straw, but he dramatically missed it. Immediately fans flocked to Twitter to comment on it.
One tweeted: "The highlight of tonight's show was Simon not being able to find his straw #BGT."
While another commented: "Simon and his straw, @antanddec falling on stage, Bruno getting the name wrong, welcome back #BGT."
A third quipped: "Simon just created a meme with the glass/straw, I’m sure. #BGT."
Among those who also performed on Monday’s show included Gamal John, 36, who wowed the judges with his rendition of James Brown classic It's A Man's Man's World. Judge Bruno Tonioli was so impressed by the audition that he whacked his golden buzzer, prompting gold confetti to rain on the stage.
Also competing in the line-up was illusionist Enzo Weyne, comedian Ichikawa Koikuchi, the Parkour Collective and ballroom and Latin group United 2 Dance (KLA). All the acts are competing for a chance at winning a life-changing £250,000 and a spot on the Royal Variety Show.
