BRITAIN’S Got Talent has been hit with more complaints after its controversial finale.
The ITV variety show concluded on Sunday night as Sydnie Christmas was crowned the winner.
Sydnie wowed the audience and viewers at home with her performance of Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Annie, the audition song that prompted Amanda Holden to slam her golden buzzer several months ago.
However, the outcome of Britain’s Got Talent resulted in fix claims from furious viewers at home.
And now TV watchdog Ofcom has revealed it has received official complaints from fans.
It confirmed a total of 92 complaints were lodged so far, as of Monday, June 3.
The Sun understands they relate to a variety of issues, including Sydnie’s win.
BGT fans previously reported the show over a ‘distasteful’ drag act that had auditioned this series.
Chantaaaal – a self-proclaimed French femme fatale – appeared on the stage to try and win their place in the live semi-finals
Initially dressed in a navy blue cloak, Chantaaal later stripped back her outfit to reveal she was dressed like the Titanic.
As Chantaaaal sang My Heart With Go On by Celine Dion, the judges – particularly Alesha Dixon – was seen tearing up with laughter.
The camp performer later pulled out a whistle and materialised life jackets in a recreation of the final moments from the film based on the sinking ship.
While the audience and judges enjoyed the performance, viewers at home were furious.
They took aim at show bosses for airing the act, claiming it was ‘mocking’ the 1912 tragedy where 1,517 died.
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company– Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny– Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
