Britain's Got Talent's biggest grand final shocks from Susan Boyle's breakdown to on-stage injuries and fan fix rows
See what caused Susan Boyle to storm out of a hotel brit's got shocks Britain's Got Talent's biggest grand final shocks from Susan Boyle's breakdown to on-stage injuries and fan fix rows THE Britain's Got Talent final is almost upon us, so let's take a look back at some of the biggest shocks from past years. ITV has confirmed the Britain's Got Talent: Live Final will take place on Saturday May 31 at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London. 6 Loren Allred and Sydnie Christmas have faced plenty of backlash on BGT Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The extra-long show will air from 7pm until 9.45pm on ITV1, giving plenty of opportunity to create more shocking moments we've come to expect from a BGT final. From Susan Boyle's meltdown to serious injuries happening on live TV, lets look back at some of the most outrageous times on a BGT final. Sydnie's Big Win 6 Sydnie Christmas won BGT in 2024 Credit: Rex One of the most recent BGT controversies happened last year when Sydnie Christmas was crowned the winner in the 2024 final. Even though she was a receptionist at a gym working on a zero-hour contract while competing on BGT, viewers were incensed that she'd had already a brief career in music. Before Britain's Got talent, the singer appeared in E4's reality show Stage School. Amanda's Threads 6 BGT fans love to complain about Amanda's outfits Credit: ITV Every year, a number of fans moan about what judge Amanda Holden wears during the final, with some even complaining to media regulator, Ofcom. One racy outfit in 2017, managed to rack up 663 to Ofcom and last year complained her final outfit showed too much cleavage and she seemed "half undressed." Amanda joked about the reaction to her sexy fits in an interview with The Sun. 'I have a whole 't*t committee' [in the production team] that watches everything [ to prevent 'accidents']," she said in February. "Hopefully they'll keep an eye on Bruno's t*ts as well, because I think he shows far more than I do at the moment!' BGT: Susan Boyle sings I Dreamed A Dream Onstage Injury 6 A member of South Korean martial arts troupe suffered an injury on live TV Credit: Rex Another shocking moment that happened during a BGT final last year occurred when a member of the Ssaulabi Performance Troupe was rushed to hospital after colliding with a fellow performer during a mesmerising martial arts routine. The South Korean taekwondo artist was pictured limping into an ambulance after making a quick exit from London's Hammersmith Apollo. He later shared a photo of his leg in a metal brace, held together by all manner of pins and covered in bandaging. Susan's Unhappy State 6 International sensation, Susan Boyle, was unimpressed with Simon Cowell's compliments Credit: ITV One of the icons of BGT is Susan Boyle, whose captivating voice made her an international star. The Scottish singer shocked guests at a plush hotel in London by bursting into a jealous rage during a BGT semi-final. The church-going 63-year-old year old became furious when her favourite judge, Piers Morgan, complimented fellow contestant Shaheen Jafargholi instead of her. As Piers declared the Welsh schoolboy's act as "the finest singing performance we have witnessed in the semi-finals thus far," Susan - who admitted she had a crush on Piers - stuck two fingers up at the telly and shouted 'f***off'. Fix Rows 6 Loren Allred was a controversial Gold Buzzer winner Credit: Rex Much like complaints about Amanda's outfits, BGT is often plagued with accusations of 'fixing' the show to favour the judges' preferred contestants. This was none more apparent in 2022 when American singer, Loren Allred, was given a coveted Golden Buzzer during her first appearance on the show. She had a stellar singing history prior to appearing on the ITV show which included stints on The Voice and The Greatest Showman. The Sun revealed how Loren found major success in the US after singing the anthem Never Enough in global hit movie The Greatest Showman. Yet it has now come to light how she also received expert assistance from Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine while on The Voice. She even competed to win a recording contract on the US version of the talent show in 2012, telling the coaches her occupation was 'pianist and wedding singer'. Loren defended her experience in the music industry - insisting: "I am an unsigned, independent artist still trying to make a name for myself.' Loren said: 'Even though I have spent a lot of years in the music industry, people don't know who I am. Over all these years I've been fighting for my chance to be known and to make it.
