Britain's Got Talent Viewers 'Sick' as They Slam 'Inappropriate' Act

Viewers called the stunt inappropriate as ITV warned against copying the blade act, which ended with KSI sending the performer through to the live shows.

  • On Saturday, April 18, YouTuber KSI concluded Britain's Got Talent auditions by awarding his Golden Buzzer to Mr Cherry, a decision viewers immediately branded the "worst golden buzzer" in the show's history.
  • Earlier in the broadcast, performer Fakir Testa stunned the audience by standing on and pressing blades against his neck, prompting ITV to issue a formal "do not try at home" warning to viewers.
  • Mr Cherry opened wine bottles with his buttocks while judges Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell rejected Fakir's act, with audience members shielding their faces and some viewers admitting they felt "sick."
  • Frustrated fans took to social media, urging ITV bosses to "do better" regarding act selection, with one irate viewer writing, "This is NOT a family show."
  • Nearly 50 acts advance to the live semi-finals beginning Saturday, April 25, where performers compete for a £250,000 cash prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance in London.
