BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans have called for a huge change to the programme after the show has been engulfed in ‘fix’ rows.
The ITV programme has seen a schedule shake-up this year with semi-final shows airing on Saturday nights as opposed to stripped across one week.
But that isn’t the only format change to rock the talent contest.
This year, during the live semi-finals, each judge has been given a golden buzzer which they are allowed to press once.
Any act that receives the buzzer advances straight through to the final and does not face the public vote.
In previous years, the act with the most viewer votes advances to the final with the acts in second and third place then standing before the judges as they each pick one of the two to send through to the final.
However, the introduction of the live golden buzzer has not gone down well with fans – , with many fans suggesting he could be unworthy of it.
Now, they are calling for the feature to be axed for next year in a stark move.
Taking to X – formerly – to rant about the show, one unimpressed telly watcher said: “Next year @BGT need to scrap the semi final buzzer for judges. Such poor choices.
“Alesha pressing for a comedian who wasn’t funny was the icing on the cake!”;;
Another added following Joseph’s performance: “THIS GUY IS JUST NOT FUNNY... Judges need to stop lying to acts and Biulding up false Hope, Golden buzzer??? Are u serious.”;;
A third shared online: “This year the #BGT final is gonna be boring.
“The public keep putting through boring acts. In the semi finals, every time a judge has used a golden buzzer, it’s been wrong.”;;
Fans were left raging after feeling as though many other worthy acts had missed out on a place in the semi-final.
Joseph Charm impressed singer Alesha with hisroutine, and she was seen laughing along with his jokes.
Addressing Joseph after he had performed his act, Alesha said: “I loved you when I first met you, and I was praying tonight that you would deliver.
“Yourenergy, enthusiasm, passion and talent was shining in all its glory.
“Thank you for not letting us down and for making everybody feel good, that was a beautiful moment.
“We can’t wait to see you in the final, let’s go baby.”;;
It sparked claims of a fix with one ranting online: “Fix! No way was that a golden buzzer.”;;
As another stated: “The fact that Joseph was also on Deal or No Deal recently makes this Golden Buzzer even more of a fix.”;;
