Britain's Got Talent's Ant and Dec 'invade' stage as Simon Cowell heckled and judges booed

Ant and Dec 'invaded' the Britain's Got Talent stage as the judges were booed for bringing an act's audition to an abrupt end on Saturday night.

After a double header of episodes to launch the new series and two Golden Buzzers already hit, the much loved ITV show contained its latest run with more hopefuls this weekend. And first to step into the limelight at the London Palladium was musician Accordion Ryan.

After Simon asked him the obvious question: "Are you going to play something today?" as Ryan stood right in front of him with his accordion, Ryan explained that he was originally from the USA, but was currently living in Austrian capital Vienna. That prompted Simon to quiz: "So how did you get from there, to there to here?" But, before Ryan had a chance to answer, a man shouted from the crowd: "On a plane!"

As the BGT audience started laughing and Ananda Holden cackled next to him, Simon responded: "I know by plane, is this what you do full time?" Following Ryan's explanation that he was a teaching assistant, he launched into a bizarre accordion take on Flo-Rida hit Get Low, with him singing as well as playing his instrument.

It took just seconds for all of the panel to hit their X buzzers to get bring the audition to an end, prompting boos from many of the London audience, with Amanda telling Ryan: I'm not sure this is something I'd feel confident presenting to the Royal Family."

However, just as the judges thought they'd heard the last of the accordion, hosts Ant and Dec, who looked unimpressed at the panel's harsh response to Ryan, started playing their own and wandered onto stage, prompting Alesha Dixon to tell them to 'behave,' as the hosts took a stance in support of the musician.
