Britain’s Got Talent viewers have issued complaints after one act’s ‘disgusting’ performance. The ITV talent show returned on Saturday (April 26) for the first round of live semi-finals.
The show was thrown into chaos after it was halted twice by hosts Ant and Dec, leading to one act pulling out of the live show.
Viewers have also begged Ofcom to ‘take action’ after Auzzy Blood took to the stage once again.
The terrifying Joker-like act sparked several Ofcom complaints during his first audition, mainly from parents who said the performance had ‘left children screaming’.
Viewers hit out at producers, suggesting the act should not have been shown on a family-friendly TV show before the 9pm watershed.
Despite this, Auzzy Blood returned during the first live semi-final for a shot at making it through to the final where £250,000 is up for grabs, as well as a spot at the Royal Variety Performance.

Once again, Auzzy Blood came on stage with a clown-like grimace painted onto his face, whilst a message warning people not to ‘try this at home’ flashed on the screen.
He then performed dangerous, terrifying tricks, including brushing his face with a chainsaw and sticking a sword down his throat.
Reacting to the scary performance, one viewer @MattZeeMiller took to X and complained: “Actually created such bad reactions in pre recorded auditions and reports to Ofcom.. why put same act on live shows if options to replace act with something else, definitely shouldn’t be on tv at 8.15pm Shame on #bgt!!!!.”

@GrahamBlundell2 added: “Disgusting #bgt before the watershed, kids watching this.”

@iamjamietv said: “Ofcom’s gonna be busy tonight #BGT,” as @genni_w added: “Let’s hope Ofcom takes action this time. Absolutely not on.”
