The tenth series was won by magician Richard Jones,[3] with jazz singer Wayne Woodward finishing in second place and dance troupe Boogie Storm third.
Although the main programme faced no major incidents, its companion show Britain's Got More Talent caused controversy for incorporating a segment that was later criticised by Simon Cowell.
[8] Of the participants that took part, only forty-five made it into the five live semi-finals - of these acts, singer Beau Dermott,[9][10] gospel choir 100 Voices of Gospel,[11][12] singer Jasmine Elcock,[13][14] singing duo Anne & Ian Marshall,[15][16] and dance troupe Boogie Storm,[17][18] each received a golden buzzer during their auditions - with nine appearing in each one, and twelve of these acts making it into the live final; the Judges' Wildcard was dancing duo Shannon & Peter, who lost the Judges' vote in the second semi-final, while the Public Wildcard was dog act Trip Hazard, who lost the Judges' vote in the final semi-final.
The contest focused on the sister show's host, Stephen Mulhern, asking trivia questions about the main programme and awarding puppies to the judges for each correct answer given.
After the segment was completed and the programme entered a commercial break, Simon Cowell became concerned over the well-being of the animals, and criticised staff members for a poorly conceived stunt.
