BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans are up in arms after discovering a hugely-popular act has a professional background.

It came after the ITV reality series aired on Sunday – with viewers flooding social media site X with their messages of disappointment.

Acrobat and aerial artist Itzel Salvatierra, 30, stunned the Britain’s Got Talent judges as she executed her death-defying stunt live on-stage.

Judge Amanda Holden was seen grimacing in fear as the star, clad in a blue dress and with bright red hair, performed a tricky lift after performing on a huge hoop in the air.

Yet after her impressive feat, eagle-eyed viewers reckon they’d seen her talents before.

After extensive research they revealed the star has more than 100,000 Instagram followers and has performed in the iconic Cirque Du Soleil troupe.

The Mexican born circus artist, choreographer and aerial hoop coach previously spoke of her starring role in the huge production after an audition in Mexico City in 2010.

In a chat with website fpsfitness.co.uk she talked of her big break and said: “After that I was asked to perform in a special event for 45 Degrees, which is Cirque du Soleil’s special events company, which was a dream come true.

“I remember thinking ‘I did it! My dream is done! If I don’t go further than this I’m super grateful.’

“I hoped to get into a show, but I did it! I was there.

“Then the year after that I got asked to perform in ‘Quidam’ which was the show that inspired me to become a circus artist.

“It was a lot. It was very, very exciting.”

The stage experience of the star prompted anger from some quarters with one raging: “Yet another scouted act! How on earth is this fair???”

A second put: “Really? That many followers she needs #bgt #britainsgottalent to help her career?”

One then followed with: ““She’s amazing! You can see why she’s toured all over the world! Extremely talented.”

Go girl

During her jaw-dropping audition, Itzel managed to balance her body perfectly in plank position despite being spun in circles.

It came as she held onto her ring with her hands.

Itzel then took the stunt a step further by balancing on the hoop with her waist only, letting go of her grip.

Amanda then gasped in shock and simply whispered: “Wow.”

The aerialist then manoeuvered herself so only her neck was holding her up, as the rest of her body floated in the air.

Itzel was balanced metres above the stage with no crash mat in case she fell.

The star rightly received a standing ovation and was sent through by all four judges.

Her achievement was all the more impressive after she revealed to the show how she suffers from Fibromyalgia, which prompts her to feel fatigued.

Home grown

Previously, the BGT audience have been left irked at the lack of UK talent on the show.

The Sun was first to report how more than half of this year’s Golden Buzzer acts are not home grown.

Out of the nine golden buzzer performers who were sent through to the semi-finals during auditions, only four are from the UK.

A TV insider told us: “People know the show often features foreign acts – some of them are utterly brilliant and, in many cases, go on to win the contest.

“But it’s a surprise to think that the cream of the crop who are sent through on golden buzzers are often from other countries.”

The golden buzzers are special acts who go straight through to the live semi-finals.

After the fast-pass, they then have a chance of going on to win the top prize of £250,000 and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
