ITV Britain's Got Talent viewers demand 'stop this rubbish' as they spot 'problem'

Britain's Got Talent viewers were frustrated as they claimed there was a problem with tonight's show.

The popular talent contest returned on Saturday as the search for the UK's next star to perform at the Royal Variety continued. Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell were in the judges' chairs to decide which of the hopefuls would progress to the next stage.

The panel was amazed as acts such as Abi Carter-Simpson, Chickenshed and Enzo Weyne dazzled with their amazing routines. Chickenshed received the golden buzzer from Alesha Dixon and will compete in the live semi finals.

The inclusive theatre group wowed viewers with a powerful performance as Simon said: "I've known about Chickenshed for a long time and I've always wondered when is the year you're gonna come on Britain's Got Talent."

However, some viewers following the show on Twitter questioned whether established performance acts should feature on the show. Magician Enzo had previously appeared on France's Got Talent and Abi has previously appeared on the West End and some viewers said the show should only be for acts without a profile.

Jamie tweeted: "And of course Enzo Weyne was in the France Got Talent final in 2013! Stop this contrived rubbish…….another supposed unknown!!"

Tina said: "Just ridiculous, they’re already a well established theatre company that could easily have been asked to go on the Royal Variety on their own merits."

Rebecca added: "Omg another act that's already established"

Vince said: "Nowadays seems to be free advertising for already established, relatively famous acts."

However, other viewers disagreed with the claim as Ian said: "I don't give a flying fig if acts are already established, appeared on previous global Got Talent shows or from around the world. It's all about the entertainment & having a little fun for 90 odd minutes"
