"I think BGT has some explaining to do," one viewer tweeted.

Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left a little confused during Wednesday night’s live shows, after producers accidentally featured the wrong act on their finalists’ leaderboard.

During the most recent BGT live show, singer Colin Thackery and Golden Buzzer comedian Kojo Anim each earned themselves a place in this year’s grand final.

Both acts had their faces added to an image which showed the other competitors who had made it through to this weekend’s final.

However, an apparent error left Tuesday’s champion Siobhan Phillips off the list of finalists, with eliminated stunt magician Matt Stirling’s photo appearing where she should have been.

Fans of the show were quick to point out the mistake on social media, with some even speculating that it might have been intentional...

@BGT has Siobhan shaved her hair off since performing last night a major blunder on your part or have I missed something #bgt #finalist pic.twitter.com/7BjVKXpVME

So where’s Siobhan Phillips gone? She’s no longer on the finals board. Not that I’m complaining because I much preferred Matt Stirling #BGTSemiFinal #BGTFinal #bgt @BGT pic.twitter.com/W6Tbn6U41H

HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for Britain’s Got Talent for comment.

Just two live shows remain in this year’s BGT, before the live final on Sunday night.

The semi-finals have been pretty action-packed so far, with Alesha Dixon revealing she was pregnant during Monday night’s opening number, and fellow judge Amanda Holden accidentally dropping an f-bomb during a particularly frightening moment in one performer’s routine.

The Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals continue tonight (May 30) at 7.30pm on ITV.
