Although he's not accompanied by his magic partner and wife Ellie, it seems hard to believe that Simon had forgotten him that quickly. Jeki's appearance on AGT aired in August 2017, and the BGT auditions were filmed in January and February this year.

But this time Jeki is part of a double act, appearing alongside fellow magician (and wife!) Ellie K Park, who he first teamed up with back in 2012.
The pair have appeared on Korean television, won international magic contests and even hold a world record for achieving the seemingly impossible feat of changing into nine outfits in just 30 seconds – so what’s to stop them going all the way to the Britain’s Got Talent final?
