Saturday’s (March 22) episode saw a number of interesting acts, including an Italian dance troupe that made use of ping pong balls and an incredible vocalist singing a Freddie Mercury classic.
However, some acts, including a dancing duo dressed in gold and white jumpsuits, were shown the red buzzer by Simon Cowell and mocked by viewers.
One user on X, formerly Twitter, said: “This show needs to be renamed Britain’s got zero talent now.. My god it’s absolutely terrible…”
Oop, looks like Simon’s got a case of the grumps

Simon Cowell shares moment he ‘nearly died’ on BGT
This comes after Simon Cowell revealed that he “nearly died” on the programme during a dangerous stunt a couple of weeks ago.
Talking with The Mirror, Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell said: “I genuinely thought my days were numbered.
“The producers on this show just love my pain! There was one point, and I’m not lying, I genuinely thought, ‘That’s it. It’s over’.
“A guy nearly smashed my head in with a sledgehammer. He was slipping all over the place and sweating so much.”
“That’s what freaked me out because when I got up close, I thought, ‘My god, his adrenaline’s on such a high, I shouldn’t be doing this’.”
The 65-year-old ITV star went on to add that his co-judges were not happy about the stunt either.
