Britain's Got Talent viewers claim they know identity of The Witch after being 'exposed' on stage

Britain's Got Talent viewers have theorised about the identity of one of the latest performers on the show. Eagle-eyed viewers took to Twitter after the show to share their thoughts on The Witch, and who could be behind it.

Several suggested that the contestant could be none other than one of the ITV talent show’s hosts, Ant McPartlin or Dec Donnelly. As the performer was concealed by prosthetics and make up, it is hard to be sure if they're right or not.

The character performed for the judging panel, handing out apples to David, Alesha and finally Amanda while reciting a creepy chant, reports the Mirror. Amanda had a pristine apple in her hand, which The Witch crushed up to reveal creepy crawly maggots and cockroaches - which scattered across the judge's desk. Needless to say, Alesha jumped out of her seat and fled.

BGT viewers took to Twitter to make their guesses at who could be behind the performance: "I think ‘The Witch’ is Dec in disguise!" wrote one person. Another said: "That witch actually looked like Ant on an undercover! Haha".

"No, why does the witch actually look like Ant?" someone else suggested.

Elsewhere in Saturday’s instalment of the show, Britain's Got Talent viewers were distracted as many claimed they recognised a contestant in dance troupe 5 Star Boys from BBC One dance competition The Greatest Dancer. Five schoolboys took to the stage of Britain's Got Talent and said they were performing to take a stand against the bullying they faced because of their passion for dancing.

The young dancers - Toby-Jay, Ollie, Joey, Beau and Adam - formed the group 5 Star Boys after they met at a dance convention in Birmingham and performed an emotional routine on the ITV stage in Saturday's episode. Their performance of You Will Be Found, from the hit musical Dear Evan Hansen, touched on their bullying ordeal.

As the boys performed, several Britain's Got Talent viewers took to Twitter to congratulate them on the routine, with some even deeming it Golden Buzzer-worthy, while several ITV fans also said they thought they recognised one of the dancers from another TV show.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "I remember that Joey kid from The Greatest Dancer," as another posted: "One of these boys is Joseph from The Greatest Dancer."

Another tweeted: "Think one of the boys was on The Greatest Dancer," as a fourth wrote: "The Five lads were good, one of those lads was on Britain's Greatest Dancer with Alesha on BBC couple of years back."

Another posted: "ITS JOSEPH off the greatest dancer."

Fans seemed to recognise one of the boys as Joseph Chow, who was one of the acts on the BBC talent show and proved popular with the show's dance captains Cheryl Cole, Matthew Morrison, Oti Mabuse and Todrick Hall.

Britain's Got Talent 2022 continues Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
