Simon Cowell revealed that he and his fellow Britain’s Got Talent judges have decided who their wildcard act is for Saturday’s final of the show.
The music mogul earlier revealed that as well as two acts from every live semi final this week advancing to tomorrow night’s grand finale of the series, he and the other panelists – Amanda Holden, David Walliams & Alesha Dixon – would choose one act who had already been sent home to make a return in the last episode and compete for the winner’s title and prize money.

Louis Tomlinson is a big reality TV fan. The One Direction shot to fame on The X Factor, backed bad boy Frankie Cocozza on last year’s series of the ITV show and tonight threw his weight behind comedy singer Graham Blackledge on Britain’s Got Talent.
The 1D star took to the micro blogging website to offer his support to the Blackpool performer, after he sang a mashup of ‘Phantom Of The Opera’ and ‘Hey Ya’ on the second semi final show of the week.

Graham Blackledge has admitted that he went all out in his preparation for his Britain’s Got Talent audition earlier this year.
The organ player wowed the audience and the judges – except Simon Cowell – with his musical skills, his rendition of La Bamba and his comedic banter beforehand.
His tryout was so well received that David Walliams and Alesha Dixon gave him a standing ovation, as did most of the crowd, however Graham had not expected such positivity.

Last night, nutty but nice Graham Blackledge had the BGT judges and audience in stitches with his unintentionally hilarious conversation before he played the organ and sang…
And despite the fact that things went rather much downhill as he played, everyone was still bowled over by lovable Graham, and David Walliams suggested he might be better suited to a career as a stand-up comedian.
However, Graham has a secret ambition, which is to get Simon Cowell to pop over to his house for a lads’ sleepover.

Graham Blackledge brought a touch of fun to Britain’s Got Talent tonight.
The 42 year old organ player had a real banter with the judges before his act even began and he hadn’t even had a chance to sing yet when David Walliams told him:
‘You’re very likeable!’

Poor old Graham Blackledge got the raw end of the stick, when he performed for Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon recently.
The 42 year old Online and Education sales Manager from Preston played the organ and sang when he tried out for Britain’s Got Talent in Blackpool and while the audience clearly loved his performance, it seems that while Simon Cowell was amused, he’s not sure the act was good enough to be performed in front of The Queen.

On tomorrow night’s Britain’s Got Talent we have some lovely, old style entertainment courtesy of Graham Blackledge.
The 42 year old organ player – we know, he doesn’t look 42 right? – takes to the stage in Blackpool to play ‘La Bamba’ for the panel and his energy is so infectious, that Alesha Dixon and David Walliams dance along, with the Little Britain star even miming the words to the track.
