"I want to know what happened"

Simon Cowell has quizzed Britain’s Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern on what happened at the end of Wednesday night’s show between Big Narstie and Robert White.

The rapper was seen pushing the comedian – who won Wednesday night’s semi-final – away as White attempted to dance with him during Anne-Marie’s performance .

And Cowell, wanting answers, was straight to the point as they began Thursday’s spin-off show as he asked: “By the way, what happened last night?

“What do you mean, 'What happened?' I'm reading all this stuff [about] your show.”

An awkward looking Mulhern replied: “Oh we don’t talk about that..” as Cowell added: “Well, we do. Because it’s in the news. I want to know what happened.”

Defeated, Mulhern explained: “Well Big Narstie did something that he shouldn’t have done. He pushed our winner [Robert]. Literally nothing [led up to it].”

Cowell then asked Mulhern if he jumped in and Mulhern confessed that he didn’t as it was “thankfully” the end of the show.

He squirmed: “[Big Narstie] is a big bloke, but I did make sure that Robert was okay. That was the important thing.”

Viewers were left in shock watching the sister show on Wednesday evening as the rapper pushed White “aggressively”.

The comedian, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, later tweeted: “Big Narstie hi-fived, shook and then made up. No bad feelings from me.

“To me the visual joke was obvious; the tiny guy dancing with the big guy, but not everyone thinks in comedy, so I think you should give the benefit of the doubt #bgmt.”

Big Narstie also apologised on his social media page, writing: “Hello high to da world sorry if I came across aggressively last night but I didn’t like my personal space being invaded in that manor just followed natural reaction #BGMT god bless everyone all love.”

Britain’s Got More Talent continues tonight at 10pm on ITV2.
