Britain’s Got Talent 2025 kicked off last night (Saturday, February 22), marking the show’s 18th series.
However, the programme came under heavy fire from viewers, with many branding it “fake”, and others saying the show needs to be rested now.
What happened on Britain’s Got Talent 2025 last night?
Yesterday saw the 18th – and longest – series of BGT kick-off.
As well as a host of new acts, the new series also saw a new judge join the panel, albeit temporarily.
YouTube royalty KSI stepped in for Bruno Tonioli for some auditions whilst the former Strictly judge was away filming.
However, some fans weren’t happy with the 31-year-old joining the show, with many complaining that they were “switching off”.
Last night’s show also saw two golden buzzers used. One for singer Vinnie McKee, and the other for impressionist Will Burns.
‘Fake’ Britain’s Got Talent 2025 slammed
However, whilst the audiences in Blackpool seemed to enjoy the show being back, viewers at home weren’t impressed.
Many took umbrage with the slow-mo moments, crowd applause, chanting, and general feeling of things being a bit “fake”.
Plenty took to Twitter to slam the show – with some even arguing that the hit show, which has run since 2007, has had its time.
