Britain’s Got Talent ‘yet more evidence Britain’s in decline’

Thousands of people were hoping to impress the judges with their talents, with several wowing the audience, judges, and Geordie presenting pair Ant and Dec.

However, it seems that the once beloved show has started to gain its critics in recent seasons. Tonight, there was yet more proof of that.

One viewer said: “Abysmal Britain’s Got No More Talent is back for another year! (unfortunately) I can’t wait to see the 250 singers, 500 magicians, 759 comedians, 1036 choirs and a good few sob stories to win the golden buzzer!! #BGT #BritainsGotTalent”

Another commented: “Britain’s Got Talent yet more evidence Britain is in decline – British ‘talent’ a man dressed as a chicken and another playing a load of horns. Whereas, better talent obviously been scouted from abroad. Can we do anything right as a nation now? #BGT”

Someone else replied: “Britain’s Got Talent reached its sell-by date long ago. I’m so bored of rubbish magic acts winning. #BGT”

Bruno Tonioli quits Britain’s Got Talent

In September, Bruno said in a statement: “After three incredible series, I’ve sadly had to walk away from a job which has opened my eyes to so much incredible talent and step down as a judge on BGT.

“And whilst I look forward to filming a new series of Dancing With The Stars in the US, I will miss the chaos and joy that BGT brings, as well as all the wonderful people I’ve had the privilege of working with.

“They truly are a brilliant team who make brilliant television, and I know KSI will be a fantastic judge too, as he’s already proven this year.”

Due to this, musician, YouTuber and boxer KSI was announced as Bruno’s permanent replacement as a judge on BGT, which will once again be hosted by Geordie duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
