Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals 2016: Vadik and the Bear added more polar bears and Twitter wasn’t impressed

In the initial auditions, Vadik and the Bear proved themselves to be one of the weirdest acts in this year's Britain's Got Talent.

Consisting of a mime who dances with a huge inflatable polar bear, the act managed to make it through the opening auditions despite being buzzed by Alesha Dixon.

In the semi-finals, the duo clearly felt the need to make things even bigger to stay in the running – with a simple solution.

This time Vadik was accompanied by six huge bears, as well as a large penguin with a plastic fish.

Providing backing music this time was Vanilla Ice’s hit Ice Ice Baby and MC Hammer’s Can’t Touch This, accompanying a bizarrely mesmeric display.

A winking Simon Cowell declared it his “favourite act of the series so far” and said that he wanted to book them for his son Eric’s third birthday.

Alesha Dixon was once again unimpressed, buzzing the act mid-way through their semi-final performance.

She also told Simon he was “losing [his] credibility” and described the performance as “a real nightmare”.

David Walliams was less critical, while Amanda Holden said it was “like a John Lewis advert on acid”.

Twitter was largely unimpressed with the act making it through this far.

Still, Vadik and the Bear did have a few fans out there.

Will they be able to tempt the public to vote for them to make it through into Saturday night’s live final? Twitter probably couldn’t bear it.
