Amanda Holden managed to luck out when she declared before the results: 'Best act of the night so far. If you're not in the final, I will kiss Simon Cowell.'
Responding to criticism some of the younger contestants can handle the pressure and disappointment of not progressing, Simon joked the children were actually middle-aged 'midgets'.
