‘How is this allowed’ rage BGT fans as they threaten to call Ofcom over ‘disgusting’ naked act
FUMIMG Britain’s Got Talent fans have been left asking how one act was able to make it onto the programme’s live shows.
Viewers of the ITV contest were left watching behind their eyes as the show’s naked act Akira shocked with his daring performance.
The entertainer ditches all of his clothes for his performances and tonight was no different.
Akira was seconds away from flashing the entire audience and viewers at home as he kept his modest hidden using a series of plates featuring the judges faces.
He also opted to use a variety of other props in order not to show too much skin but it left little to be desired among fans at home.
Many viewers of the programme were left insisting that he should not have been allowed to perform with many insisting that the broadcasting regulator Ofcom would be receiving complaints about the performance.
One wrote online: “Expecting some Ofcom complaints.”
Another added: “Ofcom’s gonna be busy tonight.”
As a third penned: “I guarantee some saddos will complain to Ofcom about Akira.”
Other fans were left unhappy with the act as they said: “How was this Akira guy’s act allowed on TV?”
Before someone else simply stated: “Disgusting filth.”
Despite bidding for the BGT title – which would see the performer receive £250,000 in prize money and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance if successful – Akira already has a large social media following.
His YouTube page – which showcases various clips of his risky acts – has more than 20,000 subscribers.
One pendulum video, posted six years ago and which promises “fun, naked entertainment” has almost a million views and more than 700 comments.
Subscribers have been quick to comment on the bawdy scenes, with one writing: “You are awesome!! This is really funny and really simple and great!
Britain's Got Talent's biggest 'fix' rows
Britain's Got Talent has been plagued with 'fix' rows over the years. How many of these do you remember?
Jasmine Elcock – 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher’s Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London’s West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: “I’ve performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous.”
IrShad Shaikh – 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his act…and put him through to the next round.
Colin Thackery – 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We’ll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn’t even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan – who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit – should have won.
Axel Blake – 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series.
Taryn Charles – 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year’s hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1’s Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.
