Britain’s Got Talent viewers were baffled by an act on tonight’s episode. Ant and Dec returned to front the latest episode of the ITV talent show, which saw another round of auditions.
Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and KSI were in the judges chairs as they decided who would progress to the next round with a chance to perform in the live shows. However, viewers were confused with one act who made it through tonight’s episode. Baron and Vesper took to the stage with their painful looking act, which saw chains attached to Baron’s chest.
The judges squirmed as the performer was increasingly put through the pain threshold, but the audience in attendance seemed to enjoy it as they gave the two a huge ovation. KSI was less impressed as he said “he’d seen enough” after repeatedly screaming throughout the performance.
However, the other three judges enjoyed the act and Simon was convinced by the big crowd reaction to vote the performers through. However, viewers on social media platform X were unsure and suggested people will be be writing to the regular OFCOM to complain about the segment.
Concerned Parent said: “@Ofcom do you really approve of this?” Catherine posted: “Wonder how many Ofcom complaints will be made about nipple man.”
Another user commented: “That was really horrifying tbh so I’m with KSI on this one.” Ryan added: “Sorry but that wasn’t suitable for a family entertainment show.”
LM said: “That’s a huge no for family entertainment- get a grip!” Paul said: “MAKE IT STOP!”
Joseph said: “Good lord, this is madness.”
