According to The Sun, the group originally worked on the song for More Talent six years earlier, before the spin-off show was axed last year.
They took to the stage determined to wow the judges with an improvised performance, explaining they were no stranger to the gigging circuit.
Speaking on the show they said: ‘We’ve done Live at The Palladium on ITV. We’ve done the Edinburgh Festival several times and headline the Comedy Store regularly, but nothing is as big as Britain’s Got Talent.
‘We may have had some success in comedy clubs but nothing of this scale. Britain’s Got Talent viewers aren’t necessarily comedy club goers and this gives us a chance to bring what we do to a much bigger audience.

‘Also, improv comedy over here isn’t as big as in the States and we really want to champion that in the UK.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Britain’s Got Talent for comment.
During their audition, The Noise Next Door took to the stage asking the audience and judges to help with suggestions for song ideas.
The group launched into an impromptu song about Ant and Dec forming a wellington boots business.
The audition went down a storm with the judges who awarded them four yeses and a spot in the next round, but some viewers weren’t so convinced.

We have questions: Some viewers weren’t convinced, taking to Twitter to claim their audition must have been pre-planned
Some fans took to Twitter to claim their audition must have been pre-planned, knowing their performance would have been about one of the judges or hosts Ant and Dec.
One wrote: ‘No way they’d just made that song up. Obvious the celebrity would have been one of the judges or presenters and the song would have been rehearsed with each one of them picked in case.’
Another wrote: ‘Enjoyed the improv’ but I am suspicious as to how they all know which word to sing at the same?’
A third also claimed: ‘Remember seeing NOISE NEXT DOOR at Butlins. Same act, just changed the song slightly depending on audience choice. Not completely improvised as suggested.’
Amazing: However others were quick to praise the audition, with one even recalling seeing them in a past performance
