Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left outraged after the judges allowed their final vote to go to the public for the third night in a row on Thursday.
Acts The Phoenix Boys and Northants Sing Out were subject to the judge’s vote after reaching the top three of the show’s fourth semi-finals.
But ITV viewers were stunned and asked: “What’s the point?” as judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon were unable to reach a majority verdict for their favorite act.
After Abigail and Afronitaaa came first in the public vote and secured a spot in the finals, it was up to the judges to decide who they wanted to go past them.
But when Bruno and Simon voted for The Phoenix Boys and Amanda and Alesha voted for Northants Sing Out, it was a split vote and their fate was once again in the hands of the public.
Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left outraged after the judges allowed their final vote to go to the public for the third night in a row on Thursday.
ITV viewers were stunned and asked “what’s the point?” as judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon were unable to vote by majority for their favorite act.
It was revealed that Northants Sing Out received the second most votes from viewers and was heading to the final.
But the judges’ decision to leave the important vote to the public was not the first time this week.
On Tuesday, they were divided over their decision between acts Haribow and Ravi’s Dream Team.
Following the public voting numbers, Haribow moved past the episode’s overall winner, Jack Rhones.
But the judges were again divided in their decision on Wednesday as they were unable to name a finalist between Mike Woodhams and Leighton Jay.
After the public vote, Mike found himself heading into the final alongside the night’s winner, Sydnie Christmas.
Frustrated by the decision to let it out to the public once again, ITV viewers flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their displeasure.
One wrote: “What’s the point of the judges voting when, for the third night in a row, I think, it’s made public? If you can’t make a decision, leave it to the screaming public.”

‘Another night of ‘I’ll vote (said act) to match’ the judges’
‘It’s time to get rid of the election of judges, it’s useless. #bgt’
‘Is there really any point in letting the judges decide who will go through #BGT? None of them have a backbone and, except on Monday, they always go to the public vote. Just stop fooling around and continue with the public vote anyway.
‘Why can’t the judges make a decision? Just go to public voting, it will save time #BGT’
‘Alesha evened things up again. That’s not how it works. This vote by the judges is a disaster. This needs to be fixed #BGT’
