Ant McPartlin seen with a bruised and swollen face after nasty fall on Britain’s Got Talent
ANT McPartlin was seen leaving Britain’s Got Talent with a bruised and swollen cheek after a nasty fall during the live semi-finals last night.
The TV presenter, 47, was rushing to join Diversity on stage when he slipped and took a tumble, right in front of the judges and the audience.
Ant was seen heading home in a taxi from the Hammersmith Apollo in west London on Monday night.
The host still managed to flash a smile, despite displaying a painful-looking bruise on his cheek.
He swapped his black suit for a casual blue polo shirt and a pair of dark trousers for the journey home.
Last night fans along with the judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli were shocked when Ant slipped onstage.
Dec asked his co-star if he was alright and he replied: “I wet myself and farted at the same time!”
Amanda was also concerned questioning: “Is your coccyx alright?”
Ant was later shown his fall in slow motion and joked: “I’m making a claim! That was a very slippy stage.”
Dec added: “You better lawyer up.”
BGT later made sure fans knew he was OK, writing on their Twitter account: “Don’t worry, Ant’s fine!”
Those watching at home rushed to comment on it, with one person writing: “Ant, that could have been nasty. Take care.”
Another said: “That looked SO painful. Hope Ant’s ok.”
And a third commented: “I reckon that hurt more than he could show bruises tomorrow.”
Amy Lou – a singer from Tipton, West Midlands, Musa Motha – a professional dancer from London and singer and musician Abi Carter-Simpson were last night’s top three.
Musa was crowned the winner and the judges were forced to pick between Amy and Abi, but after a tie in votes – it went down to public vote, meaning Amy went through.
A pregnant Amy Lou wowed the judges when she took to the stage with her huge baby bump for her first audition.
Viewers saw the tanning shop receptionist cradle her bump as she sailed through with four yes’s from Simon Cowell, and the rest of the famous judges.
It was then revealed that Amy Lou actually gave birth just hours after her audition aired on ITV.
She returned to the stage for the semi-finals with a cover of And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going, which had the judges once again on their feet.
Musa Motha is a professional dancer who originally hails from Johannesburg, South Africa, but now lives in London.
When he was 11 he was diagnosed with a type of bone cancer called Oesteosacorma and, to save his life, he had his leg amputated.
During his original audition, he amazed the studio audience and the judges with his beautiful dance routine to Naughty Boy and Beyonce’s track Runnin.
