The singer has shared numerous posts against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and even visited Downing Street to raise awareness in 2022. 

It comes after the last live semi-finals were thrown into chaos when Yuriy stopped the show mid broadcast.

The singer, who sung Let It Go from Disney's Frozen, received positive feedback from the judges before he spoke to the camera.

Saying: 'My heart goes to the people of Ukraine tonight' before the camera quickly cut back to hosts Ant and Dec who thanked him exit music was swiftly played.

Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 with thousands of soldiers and civilians  killed in brutal warfare - the likes of which has not been seen in Europe since the end of the Second World War, almost 80 years ago.

Despite impressing the judges The Dark Night failed to make it through the final, with comedian Alex Mitchell and magician Trixy bagging the two final spots. 

As Ant and Dec announced the results it was primary school teacher Alex who had garnered the most public votes as he headed straight into the final. 

Alex, who has autism and Tourette's, left the judges in fits of laughter with his stand up routine before thanking the BGT platform for giving people like him a place on the stage.

Meanwhile, it was between Trixy and Denise and Stefan, a blind couple who sing and play the piano respectively, for the last space in the final. 

As it went to the judges vote, Bruno chose to save Denise and Stefan, before Alesha then opted for Trixy to balance out the vote as she described the decision as a 'nightmare'. 

However instead of taking it to a split decision, as it has been most night's this week, both Amanda and Simon opted to save Trixy. 

The magician blew the judges' minds with his incredible trick as he asked the judges for a series of random numbers, which when added together resulted in the exact date and time of his performance. 

Heading home after falling at the final hurdle, Denise and Stefan were visibly upset as they thanked the judges for the opportunity.

Hoping for the wildcard, which sees one act of the judges choosing return for a last chance spot in the final, Stefan said: 'Hopefully we get the wildcard, but if not thanks you very much'. 

Fans are also hoping the couple receive the wildcard, as they took to Twitter to share their disappointment they hadn't made it through. 

They wrote: 'Denise and Stefan were criminally robbed. They were incredible both times #BGT'; 'My original (and still because of potential wildcard) favourites Denise & Stefan are out? What a farce'. 

'#bgt hopefully Denise, stefan get a wildcard and win it!! Cowell obviously thought they were a treat to Sidney Christmas who he wants to win!!!'

'Denise and Stefan were the standout act tonight for me. They deserve the wildcard'; 'stefan & denise for the wildcard nobody more deserving!'; 'Denise and Stefan are amazing bring them back'.
