BGT went over by two minutes following a blackout caused by bad weather, leaving soap fans to stew as they waited anxiously for their programme.

They headed to Twitter to moan and they got an apology to Dec.

The presenter, who was hosting solo without Ant McPartlin for the first time, ended the show by offering a heart-felt sorry to soap fans.

He said: "Stay tuned for Corrie. It's alightly later tonight at five past nine so apologies for that.

"Gary and Joe want revenge on Pat Phelan - and why wouldn't they, eh?"

Viewers who were eagerly awaiting the return of soap villain Phelan griped about the delay.

One wrote: "#Corrie was meant to be on at 9PM, not the first BGT has done this!"

Another added: "Not to be over dramatic or anything but #Corrie should of started 2 minutes ago & BGT is still on, fgs."

A third tweeted: "#BritainsGotTalent where’s me #Corrie?! 😂."

It was a bad night for BGT tonight as the show went off air after bad weather hit London.

Viewers were left looking at a black screen and bosses eventually had to play old audition clips to fill the gap.

Fans were also left furious when the show cut to an ad break minutes after returning from the blackout.

It was also Dec's first time presenting the show without Ant after he pulled out of all his TV work following his drink-drive shame.
