BGT fans convinced winner has already been revealed - but some viewers distracted by detail

Britain's Got Talent fans think they think they may have already found the winner on the show's opening weekend.

Some say they've seen enough and don't have to watch the rest of the auditions after the heartwarming second half of the double dose on Sunday night.

Tears flowed over an inspirational performance from Nathan and his dance teacher Joanne, who nominated him for an audition.

Not everyone was totally happy with what they were watching - but it had little to do with the act.

Nathan, a brilliant ballroom dancer with Down's Syndrome, is in his element and announces he is doing a cha cha cha "for Bruno" to which the new judge says: "Oh for me my darling?"

The hopeful cheekily replied: "For you, my darling!"

The audience clapped along as an ecstatic Nathan danced and pointed at the judges while shimmying across the stage in sequins.

When he is finished, a perpetually enthusiastic Bruno said: "It was a cheeky, sizzling, joyous cha cha cha. You were working it, keep at it."

Amanda then said she was proud of Nathan and complimented his footwork.

Simon added: "We do get good dancers who are very boring on this show. But both of you have got such amazing personalities. You were brilliant. Everything about this audition I love."

His proud mum told Alesha about her son breaking down barriers: "Children similar to Nathan are given the impression they're incapable."

The pair got four yeses and probably a few million more from viewers at home after blowing everyone away.

Impressed, the comments flowed on twitter and one said: "I’m loving Britain’s got talent this year, showing disabilities don’t define who you are and everyone is different and have talent and are beautiful being different is beautiful be you and be proud."

Seconding that, someone else wrote: "This year's #BGT reminds me that no disability, personal circumstances, race or ability can stop one from being on stage to realise a dream."

But many at home weren't totally happy with what they were watching (ITV)

Another viewer tweeted: "Right if Nathan doesn't win Britains got Talent there will be riots #BritainsGotTalent."

A fourth simply claimed: "He has to win the show."

But there was something about the act that didn't impress many watching on at home.

Other viewers said they were distracted by 'slo-mo' scenes during the episode including a dramatic pause at the end of Nathan and Joanne's dance.

One complained: "Stop with the slow motion, showing Ant and Dec and the judges, just show the bloody acts."

Another echoed: "I wish they'd stop all the slow motion."

That wasn't all as someone else posted: "What’s with the pretend shock 'this doesn’t happen' rubbish and the slo-mo camera?"
