Viewers of Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) have called for a change in the show’s format, specifically for the removal of scripted audience moments.
Fans have criticised the random audience members who are shown on camera giving their opinions on acts on stage, calling it brain-numbing and interrupting the show.
Some have also joked that the audience is being paid to cheer or sing along.
In addition to this, at the start of the show, viewers were left confused after BGT showed a segment of Ant and Dec on the Coronation Street set.
Many viewers did not understand the segment and turned to Twitter for clarification.
The scripted audience comments have become a point of contention for BGT fans, with many calling on producers to remove the conversations from the show.
Some Twitter users called the conversations brain-numbing and annoying, while others joked that the audience was being paid to cheer.
One viewer even tweeted that the amount of nitrous pumped into the stadium must be quite significant to make the audience react to the acts.
The introduction to the show also left some viewers baffled.
The show featured a segment where Ant and Dec were seen on the set of Coronation Street with other judges, which many fans found confusing.
Some fans noted that the segment was irrelevant to the show, with one viewer pointing out that the segment had nothing to do with the programme they were supposed to be watching.
