A Britain’s Got Talent star has withdrawn from the show after pulling out of the first live semi-final.

Teddy Magic was due to perform on the talent competition last month, however, it was announced right at the last minute that he needed ‘more time’ and was nervous.

Hosts Ant and Dec announced on the show that the 8-year-old would not be performing tonight, but fans could expect to see him at a later date.

Now, however, it has been confirmed that the magician has quit the show altogether following talks.

A BGT Spokesperson told the Mirror: ‘After discussions with Teddy’s parents and the production team, it has been jointly agreed that Teddy won’t perform in this year’s semi-finals, but BGT hopes to see Teddy again in a future series.’

Teddy’s family thanked fans for supporting their son and cheering him on.

They told The Sun: ‘We want to thank everyone who has supported Teddy and cheered him on – he continues to fill our world with magic.’

Teddy wowed audiences with his original audition as he used telepathy to pull pranks on the judges.

In particular, KSI was shown an extremely impressive card trick which kept viewers hooked.

While the exact reasons for his withdrawal from the show are not clear, Radio Times have suggested he may have been experiencing nerves or had a last-minute issue with his act.

Britain’s Got Talent is available to watch on ITV.
