A BGT Spokesperson said: “After discussions with Teddy’s parents and the production team, it has been jointly agreed that Teddy won’t perform in this year’s semi-finals, but BGT hopes to see Teddy again in a future series.”
Teddy’s family said: “We want to thank everyone who has supported Teddy and cheered him on – he continues to fill our world with magic.”
Unlike many other TV talent shows, there is no age limit on taking part in BGT. However, under 18s need the permission of their parents to apply, and must be accompanied to auditions and shows by a responsible adult.
Fans were left begging to know "what was going on" amid Teddy's ongoing disappearance.
