Britain’s Got Talent: Magician Cillian O’Connor and dancer Lillianna Clifton sail through to Sunday’s live final, knocking pant-wearing comedy act Tonikaku out of show
Cillian O’Connor won the last semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent on Friday night, with dancer Lillianna Clifton being picked by the judges to join him in Sunday’s final.
The pair beat the pant-wearing Tonikaku after he made it into the final three, with judges Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden all voting for Lillianna, meaning she got the majority of the panel’s vote.
Schoolboy magician told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly of his triumph after winning the public vote: ‘I’m feeling brilliant. I’m thanking my family, over there, and the entire audience. Thank you very much!’
On what she had planned for the final this weekend, Lillianna told the presenters: ‘Bigger and better than this one!’
Tonikaku jokingly made out he was incredulous over not making through to the final of this year’s show.

The comedy act sent the audience wild during the live semi-final as he struck a number of poses while wearing some Y-fronts, with the underwear appearing to vanish as he moved about on stage.
As the judges asked him to strike one final pose, he appeared sour-faced and disappointed before leaving the stage.
The acts sent home during the last semi-final of this year’s series were dance troupe The Pixiebelles, dancing duo Romeo and Icy, comedienne nurse Georgie Carroll, and singer Cammy Barnes.
