In the improvised performance, The Noise Next Door ask judges David Walliams and Amanada Holden, as well as the live audience, to shout out suggestions for a new business. The group then perform a comedy song based on the suggestions, about a business run by Britain’s Got Talent<\/em> presenters Ant and Dec, where air hostesses make wellington boots. The song includes the memorable improvised lyric: ‘If David [Walliams] was making them, they’d be called Wallington Boots’.<\/p>\n
