Kathleen Jenkins had an emotional reaction to being put through

After discovering her fate, Kathleen broke down in tears and explained: "One of the things my dad always says he wants before he leaves this world on his little plane to the sky is to see me on TV, so I finally gave him his dream."

Camp singer Richard Bayton will be bringing the fun as tomorrow's 'joke act'. 

Viewers saw the judges spend hours deliberating before making the difficult cull. 

An emotional Amanda admitted: "We're going to be breaking a load of hearts."

She added: "The talent this year has been extraordinary and there's been a lot of competition. 

"It's our 10th year so we really want to pick something special to put in front of the royal family."

Contestants and judges are seen on the seventh show of the 2016 series of Britain's Got Talent. The show airs Saturday May 21st on ITV.

The Deep Space Deviants got a yes too, with their success prompting fits of laughter from the judges as Doctor Who baddie Davros got stuck on the way out of the auditorium. 

Tonight's successful acts join Golden Buzzer winners Beau Dermott, Ian and Anne Marshall, Jasmine Elcock and Boogie Storm in the semi-finals. 

Head judge Simon earlier defended sending Stormtrooper group Boogie Storm through after fans branded them 'the worst Golden Buzzer ever'. 

He said: Look, you can argue there are other acts who deserve it a bit more but you are always in the moment when you do it and I am glad I did it because they are unique. 

"I thought they were fun and I had never seen anything like it."

The winner of BGT, now in its 10th series, will win £250,000 and appear in front of The Queen at the Royal Variety Performance. 

The first semi-final airs tomorrow at 7.30pm on ITV.
