Britain’s Got Talent fans were left fuming during the latest episode of the ITV talent show
Fans of Britain’s Got Talent were left unimpressed during the latest live show on ITV.
The popular talent contest has made its comeback to ITV for a 19th series, with countless aspiring performers taking to the audition stage, hoping to secure £250,000 and a coveted slot at the Royal Variety Performance.
Contestants will be attempting to win over judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and KSI, who has taken over from Bruno Tonioli on the judging panel this series.
Saturday’s (March 21) instalment saw television personality Stacey Solomon step in for head judge Simon, following his illness during filming last October. When Simon re-joined the panel later in the programme, the judges encountered a mysterious magician named Aldo Nicolini.
Emerging from underneath a curtain, the 61-year-old Italian commenced his performance by wrapping a scarf around his neck, before his head seemingly detached from his body in a startling illusion, reports Belfast Live.

Youngsters in the audience immediately started shrieking, whilst the judges watched on in shock. Aldo proceeded to repeatedly “lose his head” using various props, including a box and a handkerchief that created the impression his head was drifting away from his body.
After the performance, Amanda said: “I’ve never seen anything like that before. It was charming, it’s a yes from me!”
However, KSI disagreed, stating: “I think I’m going to be a bit of a downer here, but I didn’t like it. I mean, he just kept doing the same thing over and over. It’s a no, man.”
Meanwhile, Alesha found the audition “entertaining”, with Simon chiming in: “I thought it was actually silly, funny and good,” before affirming Aldo’s progression to the next round.
The majority of viewers seemed to align with KSI’s perspective, with many voicing their grievances on X (formerly Twitter).
“What the f***, that is disgusting,” one individual posted, with another remarking: “What in the Beetlejuice is this? Halloween has come early.”
A third commented: “That’s just freaky,” with another fan echoing the sentiment: “No sorry but that was disgusting.” A fifth viewer similarly expressed: “What in the name of madness is this?!” with another adding: “Well, that’ll give kids nightmares tonight.”
Meanwhile, others lauded the unique performance, with one person stating: “I love stupid s*** like this man.”
Another added: “Yeah that was brilliant. Something different!” whilst a third said: “The head guy! Completely ridiculous, but entertaining nonetheless.”
