Ireland's Got Talent wildcards announced
Ireland's Got Talent bosses have announced the show's wildcards act.
The judges have chosen Dublin dancer Zacc Milne and 68-year-old singer, Matt Dodd to take part in Saturday's Grand Final after losing out during the Semi-Final stages.
According to the show's producers, there was only supposed to be one wildcard act but as the judges couldn't decide, they decided on two.
"The Ireland’s Got Talent judges were last night split on who to put through as their Wild Card to Saturday nights Grand -Final. Initially, they were split four ways with each judge pushing hard for their own choice, eventually after much debate they got it down to two," they said.
"As it became apparent that they were deadlocked on the final two they informed TV3 that they were putting two wild cards through.”
