Britain's Got Talent's Amanda Holden angers fans with 'wokery and snowflakes' comment

Britain's Got Talent fans were quick to call out judge Amanda Holden over comments she made in relation to one act on the show. During Wednesday night's semi finals Amanda hit out at "wokery" and "snowflakes" when giving feedback to one of the performances on the night.

Amanda, 52, was reacting to the routine of contestant Markus Birdman during the live semi-final episode. The comedian's performance received a red buzzer from Simon Cowell and a lukewarm reception from the live audience, but Amanda was more enthusiastic. It saw him discuss his daughter, his stroke and more. While some of Markus' jokes were not a hit with the audience, Amanda spoke out to praise him and took the opportunity to take aim at "snowflakes", the Mirror reports.

In Markus' set, he joked: "You don’t know fatherly pride until you see your then-13 year old daughter play a ‘lady of the night’ and absolutely nail it."
