Amanda Holden slammed by BGT viewers over ‘sexy’ comment

Ant McPartlin is not 'okay' after painful fall

Britain’s Got Talent returned with the first of the semi-finals on Monday and illusionist Enzo Weyne was one of the performers hoping to earn a place in the final. 

Using host Dec Donnelly as part of his trick, he wowed the judging panel with his unique style.

Judge Amanda Holden was not holding back when it came to her feedback as she told the French entertainer he was “fit”. 

She proceeded to call the act “sexy magic”, which did not go down well with some viewers. 

Taking to Twitter, Ryan Glendenning said: “It’s Sexy magic steady on Amanda #BGT”

Chris Pound added: “I understand it’s okay for Amanda to call a performer ‘fit’ – imagine the uproar if Simon called a woman ‘fit’ #BGT”

Andrea Mandula Evans shared: “Wonder if a man could have got away with saying what Amanda just said #BGT”

@CD0355 commented: “Can you imagine the outcry if I man was to have said what Amanda’s just said to him #BGT”
