BBC viewers reportedly tuned out of the King's Coronation concert just minutes into the historical celebrations streamed to millions across the country over its line-up.
The highly-anticipated Coronation Concert took place at Windsor Castle this evening, as over 20,000 people gathered for the first time on the Royal grounds for the star-studded event.
Millions were expected to tune in at home, but according to reports in the Mirror those watching have slammed those performing which included the likes of Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Take That to name a few.
Paloma Faith and Olly Murs performed as well as Zak Abel, who is standing in for Freya Ridings after she pulled out of the event.
Those who did tune into the BBC show, which kicked off at 8pm, took to Twitter to fume over the line-up, which also included the likes of Nicole Scherzinger, Andrea Bocelli, Paloma Faith and many more.
Despite the crowds seemingly lapping up every minute of the musical celebrations, the same couldn't be said for those watching at home, with people reportedly "glad" they could skip some of the acts from the comfort of their televisions.
"Is this the budget version!? #CoronationConcert," one angry viewer wrote, as a second added: "they could have got so many iconic british artists to do this concert, but then at the same time i don’t blame them for not wanting to do it #CoronationConcert."
A third wrote: "the lineup is a bit pants aint it? Kinda glad I'm at home where I can turn over for that acts that I said 'Who?' at. #CoronationConcert," and a fourth penned: "WHAT a line up…. Haven’t heard of half of them!?! #CoronationConcert."
Freya had been due to perform at the event in London but became unwell and had to cancel her performance.
The BBC said in a statement: "The BBC has announced that British singer-songwriter Zak Abel is stepping in to perform at Sunday’s Coronation Concert at Windsor, replacing Freya Ridings, who has had to pull out, due to being unwell and unable to perform."
Zoe Ball was also forced to pull out from hosting the live coverage on BBC Radio 2, with Dermot O'Leary and Scott Mills taking her place.
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran has spoken out to clear the air on not being part of the line-up.
"Lots of people are saying to me how it's random [Katy Perry and Lionel Richie] are going to sing at the King's Coronation... I want to clear something up actually," Ed began when chatting on SiriusXM.
"No one ever asked me [to perform]," the Shape of You singer added to the sound of gasps from the radio show's hosts. I assume if they went online and went 'what's Ed doing on May 6' they would go 'oh he's playing in Dallas' so I think that's what's happened."
"I never ever turned it down. I wasn't asked but yeah, I am excited to tune into that. Historic, isn't it?"
