Britain’s Got Talent viewers feeling uncomfortable after little girl is left crying on stage in heartbreaking moment
Britain's Got Talent viewers have told how they were left feeling miserable rather than merry while watching the live semi-finals last night.
Tuesday (28 May) night's episode of the ITV talent show didn't sit too well with viewers after the results left a little girl sobbing on stage.
Magician Jack Rhodes, Japanese double-dutch group Haribow and choir Ravi's Dream Team all made it through to the top three, but only two of these acts could secure a place in Sunday's Grand Final.

After Rhodes was put through after earning the largest number of votes from the public, it was up to the judges to decide on who would continue in the competiton out of the remaining groups.
In true Britain's Got Talent fashion, it went to a deadlock after judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden voted to save Ravi's Dream Team, while Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell went for Haribow.
Because of this, their fate was decided by the results of the audience vote and it was announced that Haribow - who'd got a Golden Buzzer in their audition - were victorious.
The dancers were obviously over the moon with this news, but the same couldn't be said for the members of Ravi's Dream Team, who were left deflated.
Viewers were left concentrating on a young member of the choir who has an incredible set of pipes on her, as the little girl was left in floods of tears after their defeat.
It appeared to be Ravi Adelekan's little sister, Maya, who have both been the stars of the choir.
The little lad, from Brighton, has stole the hearts of Brits with his incredible voice and his inspiring singing group made up of family, friends, teachers, medical professionals and other kids who are experiencing brain tumours like him.
Ravi had planned to give the full £250,000 to charity if his choir won Britain's Got Talent.
His dad sweetly picked up the little girl as she got emotional about them missing out on a spot in the finals, before he whisked her off stage - but not before viewers had already spotted the heartbreaking moment.
And people weren't impressed that the cameras were directed onto Maya as she became upset and took to social media to slam Britain's Got Talent.
One person said: "Little kids crying on prime time TV, good old ITV."
Another fumed: "Well, awkward moment when #Haribow over celebrated with children crying literally a few feet away from them. Doesn't sit well."
A third added: "How could they not put Ravi's Dream through?! His little sister crying broke me."
While a fourth wrote: "Poor kids crying. What a shame."
Ever the gentlemen and a good sport, little Ravi told Ant and Dec he had still really enjoyed his time on the show and had completed his aims of raising awareness and 'making the brain tumour community proud'.
Who's cutting onions in here?!
