Britain's Got Talent has been hit by 'set up' accusations from sceptical viewers over Greatest Showman singer Loren Allred being given the Golden Buzzer and a comment made by Simon Cowell before she arrived on stage.
Loren is the vocalist responsible for one of The Greatest Showman's most famous songs, Never Enough, but, while her voice has been heard across the globe, she was never seen in the film. Instead, actress Rebecca Ferguson is seen on stage miming to Loren's voice, in the role of Swedish singing sensation Jenny Lind.
Loren was the final act on screen on Saturday's Britain's Got Talent launch show and, while Simon and his fellow judges appeared dumbfounded by the fact she'd turned up to audition and oblivious to her Greatest Showman back story, plenty of viewers at home were far from convinced. After Loren sang Never Enough and Amanda Holden hit her Golden Buzzer, some BGT fans hit out at the fact she was already a well known singer with a record deal.
