This year’s series of BGT has faced some criticism from some viewers over the heavy inclusion of established entertainers, including many who’ve already had success on Got Talent franchises around the world.

However, bosses have repeatedly defended the show.

Last week, Simon also issued an on-air apology to one young hopeful, after upsetting her with his critiques.
