After weeks of captivating audiences with extraordinary and jaw-dropping auditions, Britain’s Got Talent draws closer to crowning its Series 16 winner with the fourth semi-final.

A second added: “What is Mr Blobby doing on there!”
A third wrote: “Well I’m confused now.”
A fourth quipped: “Anyone else so baffled right now, is that Mr Blobby on stage?”
A fifth penned: “Can’t get over the fact Mr Blobby is there again.”
The fun-filled BBC1 favourite, with comedy character Mr Blobby, was last on screens in 1999.
But TV insiders say Noel, 69 plans to pitch a revival to other broadcasters after his successful appearance on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
A TV source said: “Noel is involved in planning a pitch alongside a production team who will take it to TV execs.
“He’s open to the show being modernised, but the basic format worked — that’s why it’s so fondly remembered.”
Noel’s House Party, broadcast from fictional village Crinkley Bottom, attracted up to 15 million viewers at its height.
