Simon Cowell and Ant McPartlin got a rude awakening on Britain’s Got Talent this evening, with the pair being hit by pies during the live semi-final.

In tonight’s (June 1) episode, the fourth semi-final, the head judge and co-host were the subject of a prank by musical-theatre troupe Boycanto, who made good on Simon’s word to be as “rude as possible” following the audition.
Performing to Madness’ ‘Baggy Trousers’, the group gunged a teacher on stage before setting their sights on Simon, planting a pie in his face, much to everyone’s amusement.
As the boys lapped up the acclaim from the crowd and other judges, Simon was determined not to be the only person to get pied, walking around the stage as he searched for another victim.
After some back and forth with his fellow judges and Declan Donnelly, he eventually settled on Ant, who is no stranger to an accident following his slip earlier in the week.
Gunging Simon Cowell is as easy as pie! 🥧
