Teddy pulled out of live semi-final
During the first semi-final in April, Teddy was introduced as the second act of the night. However, after his VT had finished, Ant and Dec revealed the first Britain’s Got Talent live show of 2025 had hit a snag.
The pair said that Teddy wasn’t quite ready to perform, so they crossed to the judges for a chat. After speaking to the surprised panel, Ant and Dec revealed they would be moving onto the next act – singer Vinnie McKee. Later, as viewers shared their concerns for Teddy, it was announced that he would not before performing as planned.
Sharing a statement, Dec said: “Unfortunately Teddy Magic won’t be performing tonight but we hope to see him later on in the series.”
However, it appears that sadly wasn’t to be.

Teddy on ‘really cool’ audition
During his original audition, Teddy wowed audiences as he used telepathy to pull pranks on the panel – Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and guest judge KSI.
After his audition, he told KentOnline, that although it was a “tense” moment, he found it “really cool”.
He said: “I stood on the stage, I was fine, I don’t know why. I wasn’t nervous. And it was really cool seeing all the people lined up in perfect rows.”
