Britain’s Got Talent was slammed by fans after Saturday night’s episode saw an array of bizarre acts take to the stage.
While both dance illusion group The Blackouts and 11-year-old guitarist Olly Pearson both secured the Golden Buzzer, it seems the other acts left viewers at home questioning whether Britain really has any talent left.
During the episode, fans were left disappointed after Troupe Abyssinia failed dramatically with their hoop diving act.
Later, a plate spinning act also nearly ended in tears and injury for Amanda Holden as a plate spun off into the crowd.
In another bizarre act, Lan Guangping eventually wowed the judges and crowd after walking on eggs, not without a few broken shells and yolky messes along the way.
As the show seemed to get even more ridiculous with each act that graced the stage, next was Peter and Eagle, who claimed he would be doing some falconry.

Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter during the show as they penned: ‘this isn’t entertainment’
Yet after luring Simon Cowell on to the stage and getting him to repeatedly whistle to summon the bird of prey, someone dressed in an eagle suit them came down from the ceiling as he proceeded to make an array of poor bird jokes.
And it didn’t end there as sledgehammer-wielding entertainer Kranthi took to the stage and proceeded to crush coconuts with his hands and beer cans with his teeth.
In tense scenes, Kranthi then asked Simon to be his volunteer to help him out during the audition.
The judge, 65, was told to lie down and keep very still, while the crew and warned him of how important that it was for him to not move as ‘things could go wrong’.
Kranthi then put on a blindfold, before he blindly smashed some watermelons placed by Simon’s head with a giant sledgehammer.
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, during the show to fume over the bizarre antics as they penned: ‘this isn’t entertainment’.
Other comments included: ‘This ‘talent’ show is so over-produced with it’s overt the top sound track, fake audience cheering, over hearing what the audience are saying to each other, hearing what the judges are saying to each other’;
‘There’s a fine line between what’s entertaining, and what’s just stupid and dangerous. Unfortunately, #BGT doesn’t know where to draw this line’;
