The Taiwanese performer, who gained attention earlier in the series for his comedic renditions of Queen songs, returned to the BGT stage to perform a medley using the toys as instruments.
While judge Amanda Holden appeared amused, even standing up at the end of his set, Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon gave him the red buzzer.
And fans watching at home weren't won over either, sharing their frustration over his inclusion in the semi-finals.
One wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "Why the f**k would you put that through of actual talented people, make it make sense because that was fucking shocking. You judges put it though, d**kheads #bgt."

One more fumed: "This could quite possibly be the WORST Semi Final act I've ever seen #BGT."
Their frustration didn't end there.

AMANDA Holden has stunned radio fans after appearing to turn up to work completely naked. The star looked totally nude on the live stream of Heart FM's Breakfast Show - and it even left her co-host 5 Amanda Holden appeared to be naked on Heart FM Credit: Instagram 5 The star asked herself if she had forgotten to get dressed Credit: Instagram Amanda's wardrobe faux pas came just 24 hours after it was revealed both hers and Alesha Dixon's risqué dresses from the Britain's Got Talent Live Final had sparked Ofcom complaints. Sitting in her DJ hot seat on Thursday morning, Amanda looked across at a monitor for the live stream and admitted: "Good morning, Mr Theakston. "It is 6.30am and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning ? Sat behind here?" Stuttering, Jamie replied: "Do you know what... You are wearing clothes, aren't you?" READ MORE ON AMANDA HOLDEN Laughing, Amanda told her co-host: "I just looked and went, 'What? Have I forgotten to put my clothes on?'" With her blonde hair loose around her shoulders, it did look as though Amanda, 54, was in the buff. The only thing visible was a chunky string of pearls around her neck featuring a gold heart. But Amanda was in fact wearing clothes. Most read in TV The glam mum-of-two was pictured outside Global's studios in London after the show had finished in a pale pink strapless dress made of suede. Her figure-hugging frock fell at the knee and Amanda had teamed it with nude court shoes and a matching handbag. Britain's Got Talent fans hit out at judge during live final as they rage 'what is he doing-' She also popped on a pair of sunglasses, despite the wet weather in the capital. The Sun revealed on Wednesday how ITV had been hit with Television watchdog Ofcom received 96 complaints in total about the live finale - with 72 relating to Amanda and Alesha's skin-baring dresses. Amanda chose to wear a long, white gown with dramatic cowl neck for the telly extravaganza - and had just a very skimpy bra underneath. Alesha, meanwhile, wore a sheer floor-length dress that gave fans of the show a good look at her underwear. At the time, one viewer had complained on X: "Love the show, but what a shame that Amanda and Alesha have to dress like they are going to some special nightclub." Another fumed: "Catching up on #BGT and what is Amanda wearing? Not really appropriate for a family show." A third compared Amanda's dress to a "tea towel". Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email and you could even get PAID The remaining complaints were about language used by Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell , the winner of the competition Harry Moulding, and Joseph Charm's act. Amanda is no stranger to baring the flesh and deliberately chooses outfits that show off her incredible figure. Speaking to The Sun at the BGT premiere, she cackled: "I constantly scroll through Instagram when I'm on car journeys and bombard my stylist with loads of ideas. "It's thigh splits and cleavage. "I have a whole 't*t committee' [in the production team] that watches everything [to prevent 'accidents']." 5 Amanda was actually wearing a strapless pink suede dress on Thursday Credit: The Mega Agency 5 It gave the impression she was nude behind her desk Credit: The Mega Agency 5 Amanda and Alesha Dixon both sparked complaints with their BGT final dresses Credit: Shutterstock Editorial
