It's that time of year again as ITV viewers watch a spectacular night filled with stellar performances from the worlds of music, theatre, and comedy. This year, stars Amanda Holden and Alan Carr will be hosting the event, in the presence of His Majesty, King Charles III.
Speaking about hosting the annual event, Amanda Holden said: “It truly is such an honour to be hosting the Royal Variety Performance this year. I’m still pinching myself! This is a dream job and Alan is a true friend, we are already bursting with ideas and excitement, it’s going to be such a fun night!.
“I’ve worked on Britain’s Got Talent for 18 years and have been so proud watching all our winners perform for the Royal Family. This year will be no different, so in the words of Sydnie Christmas, let’s av it!”. During the show, ITV viewers were treated to Stephen Mulhern performing some incredible magic and illusions. However, one moment took an awkward turn when he wanted help from one member in the audience.
Before kicking off his act, he said: "I need to show you this, this here is a detonator. Now, let me tell you, when you press this button here, it changes the entire show. It sets off fireworks, it changes the lighting, it changes the music. "So, we need somebody very responsible to look after this!" Heading off into the crowd, Stephen walked around until he found the ideal candidate to look after the detonator.
Picking on one gentleman, called Adam, Stephen gave him the control. He said: "At any moment you see, in my act, something that you think is funny, I want you to press that red button and then fireworks, the whole thing; we're going to turn this show into party time, be very careful, be very responsible.".
