Britain’s Got Talent poked fun at themselves as they opened Thursday night’s semi-final by bringing back the bewildered crew member.

As the stage set opened to welcome host Declan Donnelly, the crew member - dressed in all black - caught in the middle of one of yesterday’s acts was there once again - looking terrified.

Donnelly then playfully tapped the production cast member round the face before getting on with the show.

Those watching at home immediately took to social media to laugh along with the show mocking the hilarious moment.

One wrote: "Yet another great opening from Dec with an appearance from the lost crew member #BGT."

While another laughed: "Crying at the crew member actually getting a role in the opening tonight #bgt."

"The return of the stage crew guy in the opening! I really hope they make this a returning joke #bgt," commented somebody else.

Acrobatic dance group Acrocadabra, who had performed their routine to Black Magic by Little Mix, were just getting ready for their big finale when a cloth was pulled off of a box as part of the ending.

And, crouching down, was a man dressed all in black looking startled to have been caught on camera.

The moment instantly went viral, with viewers laughing at the clip being shared over and over again.

But, despite the laughs, the dance group failed to get through the final - losing out to Robert White and Gruffydd Wyn Roberts.

Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV at 9.30pm, with the last semi-final on Friday at 7.30pm.
