Britain’s Got Talent viewers were baffled by an act on tonight’s episode. Ant and Dec returned to front the latest episode of the ITV<\/a> talent show, which saw another round of auditions.<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell,<\/a> Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and KSI were in the judges chairs as they decided who would progress to the next round with a chance to perform in the live shows. However, viewers <\/a>were confused with one act who made it through tonight’s episode. Baron and Vesper took to the stage with their painful looking act, which saw chains attached to Baron’s chest.<\/p>\n

The judges <\/a>squirmed as the performer was increasingly put through the pain threshold, but the audience in attendance seemed to enjoy it as they gave the two a huge ovation. KSI was less impressed as he said “he’d seen enough” after repeatedly screaming throughout the performance.<\/p>\n

However, the other three judges enjoyed the act and Simon was convinced by the big crowd reaction to vote the performers through. However, viewers on social media platform X were unsure and suggested people will be be writing to the regular OFCOM to complain about the segment.<\/p>\n

Concerned Parent said: “@Ofcom do you really approve of this?” Catherine posted: “Wonder how many Ofcom complaints will be made about nipple man.”<\/p>\n

Another user commented: “That was really horrifying tbh so I’m with KSI on this one.” Ryan added: “Sorry but that wasn’t suitable for a family entertainment show.”<\/p>\n

LM said: “That\u2019s a huge no for family entertainment- get a grip!” Paul said: “MAKE IT STOP!”<\/p>\n

Joseph said: “Good lord, this is madness.”<\/p>\n
