BRITAIN'S Got Talent fans have slammed the show and reported it to watchdog Ofcom after a 'distasteful' audition. On Saturday, drag act Chantaaaal - a self-proclaimed French femme fatale - appeared on the stage to try and win their place in the live semi-finals. Initially dressed in a navy blue cloak, Chantaaal later stripped back her outfit to reveal she was dressed like the Titanic .
The outfit was comprised of a corset shaped like the ships' front, a black and yellow smoke stack on her head, and a back fan that revealed an iceberg and the ocean. As Chantaaaal sang My Heart With Go On by Celine Dion , the judges - particularly Alesha Dixon - was seen tearing up with laughter. While Simon Cowell initially looked unimpressed, Alesha, Bruno Tonioli and Amanda Holden stood up to cheer him on.
The camp performer later pulled out a whistle and materialised life jackets in a recreation of the final moments from the film based on the sinking ship. Eventually Simon cracked a smile and laughed, while Ant and Dec created the iconic 'flying' scene from the movie backstage with Ant holding Dec from behind. But while the live studio audience were won over, fans at home were horrified that the 1912 disaster – where 1,517 people died – was being mocked for laughs on primetime TV.
Some were so offended, Ofcom recieved 78 complaints for inpropriety about the 'distasteful' audition. "Bit tasteless to show his camp number there," one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), while a second added:.
