Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left uneasy during tonight’s show after one act pushed things so far that some fans called for dangerous routines to be banned altogether.
The judges returned to Blackpool and Birmingham as another batch of hopefuls tried to win over the panel and secure a place in the live finals, where a £250,000 prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance are up for grabs.
As always, the aim is to make it through to the next stage – or, better still, land a Golden Buzzer and head straight to the live semi-finals. And on Saturday’s episode (April 18), another act managed to do just that.
But while one contestant had the crowd cheering, another left viewers questioning whether Britain’s Got Talent had gone too far for a family entertainment show.

Britain’s Got Talent tonight
First off, we saw the adorable – and impressive – dance group Celtic Beat from wales. The choreography included jaw-dropping backflips, pyramids and a routine that saw them go through to the next round.
The Lux City Choir were praised by Alesha Dixon for bringing something “different” to their singing performance, while KSI admitted they kept him entertained despite his short attention span.
But not all of them got the result they were hoping for. 27-year-old Wei Yemin used flip flips on pipes to create music, and the sparklers didn’t exactly hurt the performance, but it didn’t help either. After KSI and Alesha gave him a red buzzer, he promised a more “dangerous” performance where the sparklers sprayed his face.
