Britains Got Talent: The Champions filming was thrown into chaos after the last minute axing of one of Simon Cowells acts.
The surprise 11th act was meant to appear at Wembley Arena last night (Tuesday), but due to fears for health and safety had to be pulled from the line-up.
According to Daily Star Online, Simon demanded a wild card act was brought back in for the finals, adding to what shouldve been a ten-act collection of the biggest and best of the series.
After declaring that too many good acts were being sent home, Simon pulled rank as the shows boss and tried to bring in someone new.
However, alarm bells were ringing during rehearsals at Wembley, a source told them.
The health and safety producers talked it through and decided it was just too dangerous to broadcast.
They added: Even though the show is pre-recorded the risk was too great.

This isnt the first snag the show has come into after Susan Boyle pulled out at the last minute due to scheduling conflicts.
Other former stars, including Colin Thackery, Ashley and Sully, dancers MerseyGirls and Connie Talbot are all reportedly returning.
Theres already been tears over MerseyGirls from Simon, who changed the life of Julia Carlile on the squad by paying for her corrective spinal surgery, allowing her to dance again.
