ITV have put a warning on Saturday's episode of Britains Got Talent, over an act that sent a serious chill through the judging panel and audience.
After an 18 months absence from TV schedules, with last year's series scrapped entirely, the hit talent show returned to screens this weekend, for an Easter double header of back to back episodes. Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon are all back on the panel, with Ant and Dec once again on hosting duties.
Saturday's first episode gave ITV viewers at home plenty to talk about. Hearts were in mouths as a six-year-old member of young daredevil stunt group The Scooter Boys took a tumble, with Ant and Dec stepping in to make sure he was alright; while Loren Allred, the voice of Greatest Showman anthem, caused a real stir as she got Amanda's Golden Buzzer.

And, while not physically appearing on stage for the entreaty of his audition, another act who made a big impression was The Phantom. In one of Britain's Got Talent 's most sinister performances ever, The Phantom could only be heard in the auditorium, as he ordered Amanda to go on stage, before a balloon she was told to hold suddenly burst, as The Phantom claimed he'd stolen said balloon from a child earlier in the day.
Things got even more creepy when keys that Amanda had picked out of a lost property box, turned out to belong to co-star David Walliams. Fans watching at home were just as freaked out as the judges and, with that in mind, a warning has been placed on Saturday's episode for anyone who hits play on ITVHub. The warning reads: 'Guidance: With some scary magic.'
Reacting to The Phantom's audition as it aired on Saturday night, one viewer tweeted: "the phantom terrified me =(," with another posting: "I didn’t like that phantom on tonight. I won’t be able to sleep."
