It is supposed to be the programme that showcases the best of British talent.
But switch on Britain’s Got Talent tonight and you might be puzzled by what you see. For six of the acts through to this year’s semi-final are foreign.
And following criticism of the lack of home-grown talent, one of the contestants has admitted he understands the outcry.
Tonight will see nine semi-finalists – three of them foreign acts – compete in the first of five live semi-finals, ahead of the winner being announced in two weeks’ time.
Among them is Canadian magician Darcy Oake, whose act involves producing two white doves as though from thin air.
All four of the Britain’s Got Talent judges – Simon Cowell, 45, Amanda Holden, 43, Alesha Dixon, 35, and David Walliams, 42, – voted him into the semi-final, following an audition that received a standing ovation.
But as he prepares to perform live tonight, the 26-year-old said he could accept the point of view that only Britons should be allowed to compete.
Oake said: ‘I totally understand and get that viewpoint. For me, Britain’s got talent is literally the biggest talent show in the world.
‘All of these talent show originate in the UK. Britain’s Got talent is way bigger than America’s Got Talent. Canada’s Got Talent is non-existent.
‘They tried it for one season and it was a failure. I figured this was the place to do it. I feel like a lot of people don’t realise the magnitude of the show.’
