Britain's Got Talent News

David Hasselhoff,Simon Cowell,Alesha Dixon

Britain's Got Talent has been on our screens for nearly two decades, but it hasn't been without its controversies, with a number of scandals rocking the show over the years

Britain's Got Talent may be known as a rather happy show with its dancing dogs and singing children, but as the 17th series draws to a close, it's rather unsurprising that there have been some behind-the-scenes scandals.

This led to Ofcom and ITV receiving over 1,000 complaints and after investigation the incident Ofcom ruled that viewers had been misled by the TV network. David has since issued a public apology over the comments and has reportedly been offered a multi-million-pound payout from BGT. The stunt didn't sit well with some watching at home, especially parents concerned about the content their children were exposed to. A representative from the National Association of Headteachers even slammed the episode, saying it contained "scenes no mum or dad with an ounce of morality would want their child to see".

Thankfully Simon came to the rescue and allowed her to sing at the end of the night. That wasn't enough though to stop the show coming under fire for allowing children to be exploited though.
