The latest live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent were thrown into chaos when singer The Dark Hero quit mid-broadcast on Friday.
The act, who sang Frozen’s Let It Go while dressed as Batman, received positive feedback from the judges before speaking to the camera to honor the people of his reported home country of Ukraine during their war with Russia.
Saying: ‘My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine tonight’ before the camera quickly returned to presenters Ant and Dec who thanked him. The exit music was played quickly.
Little is known about the mysterious caped crusader, but according to fan-made site BGT WIKI, he is believed to be from Ukraine and is now based in London.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, killing thousands of soldiers and civilians in brutal warfare – a war the likes of which has not been seen in Europe since the end of World War II almost 80 years ago.

The act, who sang Frozen’s Let It Go while dressed as Batman, received positive feedback from the judges before speaking to the camera to honor the people of his reported home country of Ukraine amid their war with Russia.
Despite impressing the judges, The Dark Night failed to make it to the final with comedian Alex Mitchell and magician Trixy take the last two places.
When Ant and Dec announced the results, it was primary school teacher Alex who had received the most public votes as he went straight to the final.
Alex, who has autism and Tourette’s disease, left the judges in fits of laughter with his stand-up routine before thanking the BGT platform for giving people like him a place on stage.
Meanwhile, it was between Trixy and Denise and Stefan, a blind couple who sing and play the piano respectively, for the last room in the final.
When it came to the jury’s vote, Bruno chose to save Denise and Stefan, before Alesha then chose Trixy to even the vote as she described the decision as a ‘nightmare’.
But instead of deciding it down the middle, as it has been most nights this week, both Amanda and Simon chose to save Trixy.
The magician stunned the judges with his incredible trick when he asked the judges for a series of random numbers, which added up to the exact date and time of his performance.
On the way home after falling at the final hurdle, Denise and Stefan were visibly upset as they thanked the judges for this opportunity.

Hoping for the wildcard, where an act of the judges chooses to return for one last chance in the final, Stefan said: “Hopefully we get the wildcard, but if not, thank you very much.”
Fans are also hoping the couple will receive the wildcard, as they took to Twitter to share their disappointment at not making it through.
They wrote: ‘Denise and Stefan were criminally robbed. They were incredible both times #BGT’; ‘My original (and still because of potential wildcard) favorites Denise & Stefan are out? What a farce’.
‘#bgt hopefully Denise and Stefan get a wildcard and win!! Cowell clearly thought they were a treat for Sidney Christmas, which he wants to win!!!’
‘Denise and Stefan were the standouts for me tonight. They deserve the wildcard’; ‘stefan & denise for the wildcard that no one deserves anymore!’; “Denise and Stefan are great about bringing them back.”

Others raved about Alex, writing: “Alex should be in the final. Just one of the most likeable guys – definitely the most likeable of the whole week’.
‘I loved his act. Funny, entertaining and thought provoking actually. AlexMitchell shows that his disability is in fact his superpower.”
However, others were less impressed with the decision, adding: ‘Probably the best show of the week with the worst top three’; “Oh, Alex didn’t deserve that at all, he wasn’t funny at all.”
