‘I wet myself and farted at the same time!’: Ant McPartlin slips live on stage in chaotic entrance during the first semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent
Britain’s Got Talent got off to a chaotic start on Monday night when Ant McPartlin accidentally slipped across the stage.
The first live semi-final kicked off with hosts Ant and Declan Donnelly introducing the four judges, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
They then surprised the audience with their special guests, 2009 BGT Diversity winners performing on stage.
At the end, the leader of the dance group Ashley Banjo ran forward as Ant and Dec came running towards him.
But Ant’s feet slid right out from under him and he slammed to the ground in a hilarious entrance.

Poor ant! But Ant’s feet slid right out from under him and he slammed to the ground in a hilarious entrance
The judges burst into laughter when Ant stood up again and Dec asked if he was okay.
He replied, “I wet myself and farted at the same time!”
Laughing at the blunder, the hosts made their way to the judges to talk before the show.
Amanda didn’t hesitate and asked Ant, “Is your coccyx okay?”
He assured her he was fine and Simon joked that this was the comedy duo’s best entrance yet.
Dec took the opportunity after the break to reenact the fall in slow motion, much to Ant’s dismay.
Ant joked, “I’m making a claim! That was a very slippery stage.’
Dec added, “You’d better become a lawyer.”
Viewers at home couldn’t help but react to the hilarious moment and took to Twitter to express their amusement.

A fourth added, “People who fall on live TV will always be funny, idc.”
And a fifth agreed, writing, “Ant just absolutely disapproved of it live on TV.”
