Britain's Got Talent 2008 - Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan

Britain's Got Talent - Jeremy Lynch let Piers Morgan down

Friday, 30 May 2008

Piers Morgan thought last nights semi-final was rubbish compared to the night before.

The Britain's Got Talent judge felt like some of the acts didn't give a good enough performance.

He revealed all in his official Britain's Got Talent blog: "Now I know how a big rock band must feel when they play gigs night after night on tour.

"You have a fantastic heart-warming show one day where everyone gets on wonderfully (George Sampson's tour de force dancing sealing a brilliant evening), and then it all descends into bickering, edginess, and cock-ups the next night."

Footballer Jeremy Lynch's performance failed to impress Piers: "Jeremy Lynch, one of my favourite audition contestants, well he had a disaster – there is no other way to describe it.

"For a ball juggler to drop the ball as soon as he starts his act, and have to run humiliatingly after it to the front of the stage, was bad enough.

"To drop it again was terrible to watch, particularly when you know how good he is. But nerves kicked in, and he never recovered from the horrific start."

Piers added: "I saw Jeremy backstage afterwards, and shook his hand, but he was too upset to even speak."
