BGT fans in hysterics after finalists Jamie Leahey and Chuck make cheeky swipe at Dec
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans have been left in hysterics after child finalist Jamie Leahey made a swipe at Declan Donnelly.
Ventriloquist Jamie, 13, is in the final with his chicken puppet Chuck and made viewers crack up with laughter with a joke about the BGT co-host.
During his performance, ‘Chuck’ told schoolboy hopeful Jamie that he had spent the night at Ant and Dec’s house.
The yellow chicken explained that Ant had slept in a queen size bed.
But when asked where Dec had bedded down for the night, ‘Chuck’ wasted no time in making a jibe about his small stature.
“In the cutlery drawer,” the fluffy yellow bird told Jamie.

Dec was left sighing and turning away from the cameras at hearing the quip, while Ant burst into laughter as they stood in the wings of the stage.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer posted a string of ‘crying with laughter’ emojis, writing: “Dec sleeps in a cutlery drawer… Brilliant from Jamie and Chuck!”
Another added: “Ok, the dec joke really got me!”
After catching sight of Dec on their TV, a third chimed in: “Dec’s face!”
Tonight’s live final sees 11 acts taking to the BGT stage with the aim of being crowned this year’s champ.
Among the finalists is Amber And The Dancing Collies, who was chosen by the judges as their wildcard act.
