Davina McCall sparks ‘fix’ claims as she makes surprise BGT appearance

TK Magic took a huge risk on the night

Viewers watching BGT last night (May 18) insisted the show was “fixed” after TV star Davina McCall made an unexpected appearance.

The ITV talent show returned for another live show on Sunday night. Eight more acts took to the stage in the hope of making it to this year’s final.

From “creepy” dance troupe Idolls to 14-year-old singer Maya Giotea, many performances on the night left an impression. However, it was magician TK Magic that left viewers divided.

Davina McCall makes surprise BGT appearance

During his act, TK Magic asked panelist Amanda Holden to pick a number between one and six. After choosing six, TK Magic showed Amanda a list of people he thought she would have in her phone book. Fellow ITV star Davina’s name was next to number six.

The magician then asked Amanda to FaceTime Davina on her phone, claiming he knew she would pick up.

Davina, in fact, did pick up the video call, which surprised the studio audience. “There she is!” Amanda said when she accepted, adding: “Hello gorgeous girl!”

Former Big Brother host Davina, who is known for her glam looks, appeared done up and ready for the call, even though it was presented as spontaneous.

Viewers, however, were not sold on Davina not knowing about the call and took to X to express their thoughts.
