ITV Britain's Got Talent hit with complaints over peformance - but not from a contestant

Britain's Got Talent is known for its weird and wonderful talent as well as its controversial moments, and it appears the first live show hasn't escaped criticism from viewers. The ITV talent show returned to screens on Monday night (May 30) for the first of five semi-final shows.

Before it was time for the several semi-final acts to perform, the show kicked off with hosts Ant Mc Partlin and Declan Donnelly joining the cast of Moulin Rouge! for a extravagant opening sequence. The audience were treated to a medley from the musical cast which ended with the Geordie duo being lowered onto the stage harnessed onto a giant heart.

But before the show got well and truly got underway there was a blunder. Things didn't go to plan as Ant struggled to unbuckle himself from the chair as the pair were meant to head to the front of the stage with the cast. He could be heard saying: "Ooh, I'm stuck. I'm stuck on the chair."
