Britain’s Got Talent blunder as crew member gets caught up on stage

A member of the Britain’s Got Talent crew ended up becoming an accidental star during the third live semi-final. 

As Acrocadabra took to the stage to start the show, viewers spotted an unusual part of their act. Their dazzling routine was rounded off with a cloth being pulled off a box making one of the performers vanish. 

But something that wasn’t quite like the others was revealed instead. A crewmember dressed in black was stood behind the box and his shocked expression said that he’d ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

He tried to crouch down out of the way, but it was too late. His face had gone out to the nation on live TV. Spotting the error on Twitter, viewers joked about the ‘surprise guest’.

Hilarious! See if you can spot the member TV crew who was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. “What the...” 😂 #BGT pic.twitter.com/byig9i7pS4
