The final weekend of Britain’s Got Talent 2024 auditions brought viewers a major surprise as some familiar faces returned. Not only that, but they actually made Simon Cowell ..
. disappear. During the closing moments of a magic trick on Saturday night’s show, Simon, plus fellow judges Amanda Holden , Alesha Dixon , and Bruno Tonioli were left stunned when four ex contestants made a comeback.
The last act, Magicians Assemble, was made up of former BGT favourites Ben Hart, Colin Cloud, and Elizabeth The Haunting, who appeared in past editions of the series. In true whacky BGT style, the trio claimed they had arrived from the future. Finishing each other’s sentences, the trio told the judges and audience in Manchester that they ‘found a journal’ where they could enter ‘someone’s memory’ during the episode.
They then performed tricks such as turning liquid into sand, before the substance began streaming onto the stage – and teenage magician and 2020 Britain’s Got Talent finalist Aidan McCann was pulled through to join the other illusionists. Aidan shaved Ben’s hair off before the audience, and the number which was revealed was the same as the one the judges had made during dice earlier. Inviting Simon on stage was Colin, who reassured him he was ‘completely safe’ as he put a blindfold on him.
Ben then threw a sandglass and Simon was gone with bits of confetti paper streams left in his place. Amanda and Bruno were bewildered and asked, ‘Where is Simon?�.
