Britain’s Got Talent final 2016: Simon Cowell called Balance Unity ‘Bounce’ and it was really awkward

Over the last week, the Britain’s Got Talent judges have seen 45 acts take to the stage – and it’s a lot to remember.

However, it all got a bit awkward in the final, with Simon Cowell seemingly forgetting the name of the opening act of the live show.

Kicking things off was dancer Balance Unity, who amused the audience and the judges with his TV-themed comedy dance routine.

While his act – which took in the likes of the X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing theme tunes and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – was well-received, it seemed Simon just couldn’t get the name right.

When giving his feedback, it sounded like Cowell referred to Balance as ‘Bounce’, saying:

“This was the Bounce we saw when we saw you at auditions – fun, sense of humour, and I’ve got to tell you, you are one of the nicest contestants we’ve ever had on the show.”

Although there’s a chance he was referring to the ‘bounce’ with which Balance tackled his latest routine, viewers at home were convinced that Simon was mistaken with the name.

Will Balance triumph in the live final and become the latest winner of Britain’s Got Talent? And will Simon refer to him as ‘Bounce’ if he does? Stay tuned.
