Britain's Got Talent fans threaten to call Ofcom AGAIN as angry viewers claim the programme has 'morphed into an international show'

Britain’s Got Talent fans have threatened to boycott the show and call Ofcom for a second time.

Angry viewers are claiming the ITV programme has ‘morphed into an international show’ because there are ‘few’ acts from the UK.

Disgruntled fans admitted that they believed the show should be for British people because of its name and wanted to take the issue to the UK TV regulator.

Just a week after fans issued ‘fix’ accusations on social media, it appears the show isn’t going down a hit amongst viewers.

Angry fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about the multiple international auditions, with little acts from Britain.

Anger viewers are claiming the ITV programme has ‘morphed into an international show’ because there are ‘few’ acts from the UK

Some wrote: ‘Britain’s Got Talent seems to have morphed from Britain’s Got Talent into an international variety show’

‘And also Britain’s Got People With Sad Stories. Like, it’s very sad when people fall ill and it’s very inspiring when they recover from illness and are able to be happy and healthy. But doing that then squawking into a microphone is not talent.’

‘If someone lives in the UK but is from elsewhere, then obviously I get that they may audition, but what on earth is the point of acts that fly in especially to audition?’

‘Disappointed to see so many acts scouted from other countries on BGT. Kind of undermines the essence of BGT &misses the point. Maybe no one applied this year.’

‘All the acts have been amazing but hope they not taking place of UK talent.’

Last week, viewers threatened to call Ofcom after three acts from Japan auditioned for the show.

Viewers were less than impressed when show judge Simon Cowell gave his Gold Buzzer away to Cyberagent Legit, a professional Japanese dancing act.

During Saturday night’s audition a beatboxing group called Sarukani, a drone operator called Keiichiro Tani and then dance troupe Cyberagent Legit all performed for the judges Simon, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli.

And while there are no restrictions about where an act comes from, viewers have formed their own opinions and flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One penned: ‘Did ITV get a group booking for a flight from Japan? Or is this Japan’s got Talent?

‘Can Ofcom look at this like the trade descriptions act?! A very misleading name for a TV show!’

‘They must think people are stupid, they fly a hand picked dance group from Japan and then give them the golden buzzer so they can come straight over for the semi finals, fix.’

But, despite some criticism, others loved watching the acts perform, as other performances from Japan blew the audience away.

After being left in awe by their superb audition, viewers unearthed the beatboxing group Sarukani’s successful past after a brilliant Saturday night audition.

The group, made up of four beatboxing artists – Kohey, So-So, Rusy and Kaji – earned themselves a standing ovation after a brilliant performance which saw them recreate Ghost Buster’s theme tune.

The talented four, who are aged between 21 and 24, not only had the audience on their feet but they also charmed the judges as they gave much applause to the group.
