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.
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.
And our Wildcard is... HAN & FRAN!!! 🪩🎶

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.

Britain's Got Talent comic hopes trolls find 'light in lives'
A Britain's Got Talent comic says internet trolls have not upset him, but he wants people to realise belittling someone on the internet "is sad".Joseph Charm from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, came fifth in the 2025 ITV series after receiving the Golden Buzzer from judge Alesha Dixon and his mum, who had joined the 33-year-old said the buzzer, which automatically sends an act to the semi-finals, brought a lot of praise and a lot of the final, Mr Charm said he "wasn't bothered" by the online abuse and hoped the negative commenters could "find light in their lives". 'Spread joy' Mr Charm quit his job to pursue comedy in 2024 and said being on the show had been "incredible".He did not win the £250,000 prize but said the experience trumped everything especially for his mum who was able to meet Simon Cowell."Having that moment was worth its weight in gold," he said. "£250,000 would be fantastic but just getting to the final and to have Milton Keynes behind me is just fantastic."He hoped to keep the momentum up and "spread joy in a number of different ways," following the show. Mr Charm joked to the live audience on Saturday about some of the negative comments he had received."They said 'Joseph you're not even funny'. I said 'that is ok, comedy is subjective'. "Then they said 'you only got it [the buzzer] because you're black'."Then they said 'Joseph go back to where you came from..'. but I don't want to go back to Lewisham."Mr Charm told the BBC that some people felt "vindicated" after the show."I wasn't bothered by any of them. They are so fragile, fickle, weak and sad and I just hope they can find light in their lives so they can no longer be that way," he said."That's my genuine hope and if it's not through me hopefully it can be through the next comic or someone else can make them realise that it's sad trying to belittle someone on the internet."
