Britain’s Got Talent has been hit by false claims amid reports showing bosses secretly created acts from scratch.
According Sun Producers submit ideas for potential viral auditions, along with scripts, musical suggestions and lines for the judges to say.
One example claims that the show’s bosses attempted to recreate the hype around 2022’s terrifying magic act, The Witch, and approached indie actor Andrew Fletcher to take on the role of last year’s Scary Clown.
A source said: “Looking for talent on shows is nothing new, but creating acts out of nothing is ridiculous.”
‘The Witch was so well received that the bosses wanted to recreate the commotion. “They thought playing on Simon’s clown phobia would be ideal, so they put ideas together.”
Britain’s Got Talent has been hit by false claims amid reports showing bosses secretly created acts from scratch (LR) from judges Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell.
Producers are reportedly pitching ideas for potential viral auditions, complete with scripts, musical suggestions and lines for the judges to say (pictured as 2022 act The Witch).

Before adding: ‘The public will feel like they are being taken for a ride if this sort of thing continues. It’s like they’ve been lied to, even though the goal was to put on the best show possible.”
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
On Saturday, the talent show was once again embroiled in another dispute when angry fans called out professional singer Taryn Charles.
The special education teacher, 39, was dubbed the show’s “best Golden Buzzer performance” after Bruno Tonioli sent her to the semi-finals following her incredible performance.
She also revealed that she had met Simon when she was just 15, when he was working at a record label near her home and claimed that she told him about her dream.
But some viewers weren’t impressed and were quick to point out to X that Taryn is already a professional singer, making the competition for amateur talent “unfair.”
‘Another professional singer again?’ Taryn Carlos. What happened to #BGT?’, one person commented.
‘Taryn Charles is already a professional singer, so you would expect her to have a good voice. “Not fair to all #BGT fans,” a second echoed.
