Britain’s Got Talent blunder as Simon Cowell misgenders finalist in awkward gaffe
BRITAIN’S Got Talent judge Simon Cowell made a huge blunder after he misgendered a finalist tonight.
Sunday evening’s instalment of the ITV show saw the final 10 acts battle it out for the top spot in the grand final.
Early on in the episode it was revealed that Amber and the Dancing Collies were the wildcard.
The trio originally come from the Netherlands and are known as circus artists and worldwide performers.
Tonight Amber and Nymeria took to the stage to perform.
Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams were very impressed with their routine – which involved some complicated moves such as skipping rope together.

When the judges gave their feedback, Simon made a huge mix up and accidentally said that Nymeria was a boy, rather than a girl.
Many viewers took to Twitter to praise Amber and Nymeria the pooch for their amazing performance.
One wrote: “Amber & the dancing collies are my winners 1,000,000 times over.”
Another said: “Anyone else in tears watching Nymeria skipping with Amber on #BGT final?”
