Surprise proposal on Britain's Got Talent leaves viewers in ‘tears'
A surprise proposal on Britain's Got Talent (BGT) has left viewers of the ITV show 'in tears'
In the last live semi-final, magician Harry Moulding asked judges to choose three seat numbers and then asked the people in those seats to pick a celebratory, a three-digit number and a location.
The audience' members said Bruno Mars, 178 and Paris, at the end of the act, Harry brought up audience member Jess to the stage and played a video.
In the video, which was filmed days prior to the live semi-final, Harry revealed that he predicted that Bruno Mars, 178 and Paris would be chosen.
But it was the end of the video that surprised audience member Jess as her boyfriend turned out to be part of the act.
The act ended with Jess's boyfriend appearing on stage at the live semi-final and proposing to Jess on live TV.
Harry wowed the judges so much that he received the golden buzzer from KSI meaning he is in the BGT grand final next week.
Fans reacted to the act on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, with one BGT viewer sharing they cried, writing: 'Not me crying at Harry's performance.'
Another viewer wrote: 'Not just a few "magic" tricks/illusions, but that was the whole package with a heartfelt storyline. Top class! Congrats to the couple to.'
A third said: 'I have no idea how Harry did that but it was sensational.'
The live final of Britain's Got Talent will air next Saturday (May 31) at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Britain's Got Talent fans have same complaint over 'ridiculous' golden buzzer rule
It is the first year that the popular show hasn't aired semi-finals every weeknight at the end of May, as scheduling changes were changed to weekly slots by ITV bosses earlier this year.
The iconic golden buzzer now also appears during the live shows, with one act being sent straight to the final each week.
Previously, the golden buzzer had only featured during audition rounds since it was launched back in series eight.

Balmain Resort 2026 Menswear Collection
Olivier Rousteing is still under 40. Yet he is also the third longest-standing non-founder creative director in ready-to-wear luxury fashion (after evergreen Véronique Nichanian at Hermès menswear and the mighty Ian Griffiths of Max Mara). So even as fashion cycles through its latest red wedding moment, Rousteing's combination of veteran experience and youthful potential allows him to take a pragmatic and sanguine view. Speaking in his office, he said: 'A designer needs to change: to develop through reinvention. So it's not just only a house becoming bored of a designer and looking to change—the designer him or herself should become bored if they do not change how and what they do. You keep your DNA, but you make very different albums.' At Balmain, Rousteing remains both signed to the label and committed to perpetual reinvention. The photography of these resort lookbooks reflected his intention to approach the collection from a fresh angle while deploying his deep expertise in the business to maximize its performance. In womenswear, a focus on bouclé pieces in pastel checks (a little Clueless), black, and some racier color-combos kept aside in the showroom reflected the fact that around over 20% of Balmain's ready-to-wear pieces are in tweed. A seasonal floral reworked from a Pierre Balmain original was present in some of the multiple new fabrications of a growing core line of Balmain handbags; the Anthem (belt buckle), the Sync (chain), the Ébène (par-baked croissant), and the tightly-waisted Shuffle. Knit bandage dresses and a split skirt floral aside, there was a notable step away from bodycon towards a focus on innovatively detailed oversized tailoring in wools including prince of wales check that often came cropped and placed in silhouette-skewing adjacency to matching microskirts and shorts. A coat so roomy you could put it on Airbnb came patterned with a felted Monet-esque print that reflected Pierre Balmain's artistic passions, Rousteing reported. His column-pediment wedge boots were delivered this season in a shearling fabrication as well as leathers and worn against lingerie dresses. Cocoon-like capes in peach or lemon cashmere were standout wardrobe pieces. Menswear played a radical-conservative gambit of contrasting extreme tailoring—either angular and fitted, or oversized and softer—against denim, leather, or jacquard sportswear. Formal shoes were elevated from banaility by raised soles and extruded metal welting. You could see both bourgeois French paradigms and street silhouettes transposed to tailored fabrications. Lurking in the showroom were many non-shot but still highly photogenic pieces, including labyrinth pattern shirt-and-short sets, leather and wool stadium jacket blouson hybrids, and bouclé overshirts. Said Rousteing: 'The real question is always what do you want to propose? And while my answer changes through the seasons, it also always relates to going back to the past and bringing it to the present in order to build the future. This is why I am always having this conversation with the original work of Pierre Balmain, and looking to express that dialogue in new ways.'

Who left Love Island 2025? First Islander dumped following brutal twist with Shakira Khan
The first Islander was dumped from the Love Island villa tonight (Tuesday, 10th June). It may only be day two of season 12, but after a brutal twist which saw Toni Laites steal Ben Holbrough from Shakira Khan, fans learned that one Islander would be going home the next day. Shakira was given the challenge of coupling up with one of the other boys, or having to go home. Maya returned to the villa 24 hours later to see if Shakira had done enough to keep herself safe and reveal which girl would be going home, as she asked the boys to stand up if they thought they had a stronger connection with Shakira over their original partner. So, who left the Love Island villa tonight? Read on for everything you need to know on the first dumped Islander. Sophie Lee was the first Islander to be dumped from the villa for season 12. After Monday night's twist which saw Toni stealing Ben from Shakira, and Shakira was given just 24 hours to couple up with someone else or go home, Maya returned to the villa to find out where everyone's head was at. She asked the boys to stand up if they thought they had a stronger connection with Shakira and Blu, Conor and Harry each stood up, putting their girls at risk. Shakira then had to decide who she wanted to couple up with. She chose Harry, which meant that his current partner, Sophie, would be going home. After being made single, Shakira cracked on with Dejon, which didn't sit well with Meg, and also got chatting to Conor, Harry, Blu and Tommy. "You surprised me, you came in with massive energy, but I feel like you're not like that, you're chill and smart," Harry told Shakira on the terrace. "I love the Irish accent, it's sexy! I've never dated an Irish guy," Shakira replied. During her conversation with Blu, she told him: "I think it's good cause it gives everyone a kick up the bum…I think you've got a good vibe…you're very calming and I don't have to put on a bravado." Meanwhile, she admitted to Tommy: "I think it's best I try to get to know everyone." Tommy's partner Megan got a little jealous and immediately broke up the conversation, with a plan to "lips" Tommy and "claim" her man. Love Island airs Weekdays and Sundays on ITV2 at 9pm.
