Britain's Got Talent viewers 'work out' how illusionist Miki Dark set Simon Cowell 'on fire' as they issue complaint

Britain's Got Talent viewers have claimed they know exactly how illusionist Miki Dark executed his jaw-dropping trick during the latest auditions episode as Simon Cowell was 'set on fire' in shock scenes.

The hit ITV talent show returned to screens on Sunday night (May 14) after being bumped from its usual primetime Saturday night slot. The broadcaster pulled the episode from the schedule on Saturday night (May 13) due to the Eurovision Song Contest's grand final airing on BBC One, which was later revealed to have been watched by an average of 9.9 million UK viewers and a peak of 11 million.

During the episode, judges Simon, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli watched as the silent Miki appeared on stage in front of them wearing a black hooded cloak and intimidating white make-up with black circles around his eyes.
