Update: Sadly Noel James made it into the top three in his semi-final but did not quite make it into the final despite David Walliams' enthusiastic support.

Welsh comedian Noel James has appeared in the Britain's Got Talent semi final tonight (June 7) on ITV.

James said before his performance that he has been a comic for 25 years and sees his appearance as "a gamble" and that he would love to be more popular.
