BGT accused of recycling acts with contestants linked to Simon Cowell or other TV shows

Britain's Got Talent was accused of recycling its acts as a few of its contestants have been linked to Simon Cowell or have appeared on another TV show.

There have been 60 acts that have been shown this year and 15 of those have either been in a different Got Talent series, have a connection with music mogul Simon, or are already 'professionals' in their field, as reported by The Sun.

One source defended the talent and told the publication: "It would be unfair to say these contestants are household names. Some have had an element of success, but you’d still have to look them up to know who they are."
