RAGING Britain's Got Talent fans have hit out at the programme and branded it a “fix” after insisting one act received special treatment.
Teacher Louise Hall took to the BGT stage on Saturday night in order to sing for a place in the show's semi-finals.
Aiming , she began to sing out a rendition of ‘ hit Something Beautiful.
However, after getting only a few lines in, soon put his hand in the air in order to stop the performance.
He then said that she needed to “go for it” in order to blow the panel away after suggesting she was holding back.
The media mogul said to Louise: “If you're going to do this, then this obviously means a lot to you, then you've really got to stop overthinking this and just let go.
“That was kind of like a polite audition.”
Asking if she had a second song, she then said she would sing And I Am Telling You by – a talent show favourite and notoriously difficult to sing well.
Louise then gained a standing ovation with plenty of praise from the panel and clearly having won over the audience.
However, furious fans have now insisted the moment was set-up in order to make Louise appear even better and to gain the backing of the audience.
Writing online, one fuming fan said: “Of course that was her second song. This show is so over-produced it makes you question the authenticity of the act.”
Another added: “As soon as Simon's hand goes up, and he asks if they have a second song, you know it's a setup.”
A third then posted: “These singing auditions on Britain’s got talent are so set up sometimes when Simon stops them mid song and ask them to sing something else and they sing again and they’re amazing.”
The comments continued to flood in as someone else wrote: “He bloody knows she has a second song. What a fix.
“Don’t fall for it folks.”
Whilst a fifth penned: “Still fake, and completely set up as usual.”
During her audition, Louise revealed she auditioned last year but didn't get through.
She told the Mirror: “This year is my moment, it was my time, and the stars all aligned.
“I came back unrecognisable and I wanted to audition in my new happy era. I was not the same person back then. This time, it's my time to shine.”
