Britain's Got Talent final judges wildcard act revealed
After a number of weeks of exciting semi-finals, there were various acts that missed out on the chance to perform in the final.
However, of all the acts, one is in the final as the wildcard.
But some fans have been left disappointed by the decision.
Britain's Got Talent final wildcard act is revealed
The wildcard act chosen for the 2025 Britain's Got Talent final is Han and Fran.
They were chosen as the 11th act by the judges.
Ant and Dec revealed the wildcard during the opening of the final, with Simon saying: "They got a massive vote from the public and therefore they deserve a shot in the final."
Viewers quickly voiced their opinion, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share what they thought of the pair's return.
One said: "So has Simon just confirmed Han and Fran are the wild card because they got the highest 2nd place vote?"
Another added: "So many better acts should've been chosen as the wildcard."
"Why would you bring these two back?", a third said.
Han and Fran chosen as judges' wildcard act for 2025 BGT final
The vocalist duo quickly became fan favourites on their first appearance.
Despite performing a second ABBA medley, the duo were eliminated on last weekend's (May 24) semi-final.
They are vying to become the first Welsh winners of the show.

Welsh Games Companies Share £850,000 Funding Boost
Six Welsh games development companies are set to receive an £850,000 funding boost from the Welsh Government. The Games Scale Up Fund for Wales is the first scheme of its kind. It was launched earlier this year by Creative Wales in partnership with UK Games Fund, who managed the applications. Its aim is to help Wales-based developers take their games projects from a pilot to a more substantial and self-sustaining model, by allowing for growth in scope, reach and impact. A total of £850,000 in funding support has been awarded to six companies: Cloth Cat COPA Gaming Goldborough Studios Rocket Science Sugar Creative Wales Interactive The announcement follows a successful trade mission to the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco in March, where five out of the six awarded companies joined the Cymru Wales stand to showcase their projects, meet major industry leaders and build new connections. Osian Williams, Director of COPA Gaming, said: 'Being backed by the Welsh Government through this scale-up funding isn't just a headline for us, it's a true game changer. 'It gives our team the confidence and resources to move forward, grow sustainably and to proudly create uniquely Welsh games for a global audience.' Paul Durrant, CEO at UK Games Fund, said: 'The Games Scale Up Fund for Wales has been a fabulous opportunity for us to see the breadth and depth of games development talent in Wales. It's been an honour to manage the application process for Creative Wales.' Minister for Culture, Jack Sargeant, said: 'Wales has an incredibly talented and ambitious video games industry that's making its mark on the global stage. This investment is about giving our homegrown studios the financial backing to level up their operations and reach new audiences worldwide. 'I had the privilege of meeting several Welsh developers at GDC in San Francisco, and I was deeply impressed by their creativity and innovation. The feedback they received from international publishers confirms what we already know – Wales is becoming a significant player in the global gaming landscape.' Creative Wales currently has another fund open for applications. The Games Development Fund, closing on Thursday 5 June, offers between £10,000 to £50,000 to Wales-based businesses developing video and immersive games projects for commercial release.

Michael Sheen to star in final run of 'Nye' in Cardiff
The show, which has had sold-out runs in Cardiff and London, will be at the Donald Gordon Theatre from August 22 to August 30, 2025. Tickets are on sale now, starting at £20. The production, written by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris, tells the story of Aneurin "Nye" Bevan, the Welsh political pioneer who was MP for Tredegar when he founded the NHS. The play is described as "a vibrant and unexpectedly fun journey through the life of the man who made free healthcare a reality." The show is said to be "full of humour, heart and the undefeatable spirit of a man who believed in his vision for a better way of living." As Bevan faces the end of his life, his memories take centre stage, from his early days as a coal miner's son in Tredegar to the political clashes in Westminster that changed the future of Britain. The audience encounters friends, foes, family and revolutionary speeches, as Nye's past comes alive with warmth and bold theatricality. Sheen, originally from Newport, is joined by a cast of new and returning performers, including Remy Beasley, Matthew Bulgo, Jason Hughes, Kezrena James, Tony Jayawardena, Stephanie Jacob, Rebecca Killick, Rhodri Meilir, and Sharon Small.
