Britain's Got Talent viewers disgusted after being forced to watch 'horrifying' act
'I couldn't even watch!'Britain’s Got Talent viewers immediately complained after they were forced to watch a “shocking” audition last night (February 28).
Following last weekend’s launch of Series 19, the hit show returned for another slice of action. However, not everyone was impressed with what their Saturday Night’s entertainment had to offer…
Britain’s Got Talent last night
For one audition, a duo named Baron and Vesper took to the stage, where their painful-looking act saw chains attached and tugging at Baron’s chest.
The judges — Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and KSI — visibly squirmed as the act pushed further past the pain barrier, though the live audience appeared far more entertained, rewarding the pair with a huge ovation.
Rapper KSI, however, was clearly unimpressed. After repeatedly screaming during the performance, he declared he’d “seen enough”.
However, the other three judges were far more receptive, and buoyed by the crowd’s enthusiastic reaction, Simon ultimately decided to put the performers through.
‘So dangerous’
The audition left a huge impression on viewers, who were left shocked and concerned following the act.
“I WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE WATCHING THIS,” one user wrote.

“#BritainsGotTalent is finally so desperate for viewers it’s literally showing BDSM to minors .. @Ofcom Do you really approve of this? It simply isn’t entertaining & this act clearly crossed the line into Sadism & Masochis,” another shared as they complained directly to Ofcom on X.
“So dangerous there’s definitely going to be some complaints about BGT,” another person shared.
“Oh good god, I couldn’t even watch,” a third remarked.
“Sick! Don’t call this entertainment,” a fourth said.
“That was really horrifying tbh, so I’m with KSI on this one,” a fifth declared.
‘Shocking but brilliant’
Meanwhile, despite the clear backlash, many approved of Baron and Vesper’s audition.
“That is what I call talent,” one said.
“I love acts like this,” another insisted.
“OMG!!! Shocking but brilliant!!!” a third expressed.
“THIS IS INCREDIBLE,” a fourth said.
