On Saturday night (May 31) the Britain’s Got Final took place – and saw several acts take to the stage one last time in a bid to impress the nation.

Sharing his thoughts on the act, Bruno said: “We were just [explicit],” before suddenly stopping himself.
Realising his blunder, Bruno corrected himself: “Oh sorry, we were just crying with laughter!”
And Dec soon stepped in to apologise to viewers over Bruno’s language.
He said: “Apologies if you were offended by Bruno’s slip of the tongue there, it’s a live show, very emotional.”
