For the third night in a row, the panel split their votes and refused to pick an act to save.
It came moments after Abigail and Afronita topped the public vote and were the first act from this evening to go through to Sunday's grand final.
Remaining in the top three were dance act Phoenix Boys and choir Northants Sings Out.
As Ant and Dec turned to the judges to decide who to save and who to send home, Bruno went first and saved his Golden Buzzer act Phoenix Boys.

Alesha pointed out that she wanted to "even things out" and mentioned she also wanted to see a choir in the final , so her vote went to Northants Sings Out.
Amanda echoed Alesha's vote, leaving a panicked looking Simon to have the deciding vote.
"I knew this would happen," he said, as he struggled to decide who to pick.
As the audience shouted, Simon picked Phoenix Boys, sending the decision to the public vote once more.

'It's just not fair' rant Britain's Got Talent viewers as they slam Simon Cowell over brutal move
One ranted on X, formerly twitter: Seriously tho what Is the point In having the judges there if they just take it to public vote most times."
A second added: "Considering the judges keep splitting the vote so it goes down to the public vote. They shouldn't be asked who they want to go through in the first place. Just put through the two acts with the most votes."
A third agreed: "What’s the point in the judges vote for the top 3 in BGT. Might as well just send it straight to public vote. Happy the choir got through though."
And a fourth chipped in: "It should always be the public vote and not the judges. Especially as they keep saying 'we listen to the audience'".
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred - Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. "I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs," she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. "So she lip-synced," Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company - Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her "honour" to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny - Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody - They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain's Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I'll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan - known as Melody - is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries - who is Bars - with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
It came after viewers branded tonight's semi-final as the "worst ever".
Twitter seemed united in their opinion that the quality across the board tonight was the weakest of all the nights.
"Arguably the worst episode of bgt in tv history. Absolutely pants," one soapboxed.
"I think tonight’s live show has been the worst of the weeks …" seconded another.
A third weighed in: "Worst ever semi final, none should go through, the acts aren't spread out very evenly. Better acts have gone out."
