Christy Coysh got Britain’s Got Talent viewers talking within moments of the latest episode airing.
The ITV programme made its return on Saturday (April 11) evening, featuring another group of aspiring acts hoping to secure their spot at the Royal Variety Performance and bag £250,000.
Panellists Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI took their familiar positions as the opening contestant stepped onto the stage with a rather unconventional performance.
Christy, hailing from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, delivered a musical number dedicated to scotch eggs, leaving the judging panel completely bewildered.
Online star KSI didn’t hesitate to slam the buzzer before burying his face in his palms, while Simon watched on in shock, reports Wales Online.

At the same time, Alesha and Amanda were spotted chuckling and applauding, appearing entertained as Christy retrieved a scotch egg from his sock, which then fell apart across the stage floor.
“Scotch egg, scotch egg, scotch egg, it’s a hard-boiled egg in a sausage casing”, Christy crooned as backing music kicked in behind him.
Once the performance concluded, Christy extended a scotch egg towards an unimpressed KSI, who swiftly refused before declaring, “I don’t even like scotch eggs”.
“I would happily put you on the Royal Variety purely based on that song, you’ve got a yes from me”, Amanda declared while Simon remarked, “I’m not going to get that song out of my head, it was terrible”, before also awarding him a yes.
As Christy, who has amassed over 70k followers on Instagram and more than 460k on TikTok, progressed to the next stage of the contest, BGT watchers flocked to social media to express their backing for him.

One person admitted: “Ok. This is a catchy song. I’m howling #BGT”, while a second contributed: “Scotch Egg (laughing face).”
“Get this Scotch Egg fella to the final please #BGT #BritainsGotTalent”, pleaded one viewer as another wrote: “It made me laugh! #bgt.”
“Love scotch egg man #BGT if you can get everyone joining in like he did, then that’s entertaining although I can’t eat them myself I can feel the heartburn just by looking at one (Laughing face).”
However, not everyone was impressed, with one person writing: “@BGT turned off after the first two ABYSMAL acts #bgt.”
Another contributed: “How the hell did that guy get 3 yeses?? What’s my business with a scotch egg at a talent show??? (laughing face).”
