Britain's Got Talent viewers were unimpressed with a singer's jab at presenter Stephen Mulhern.
Singer Honey Scott auditioned with just her guitar and made a few jokes about a few celebrities as she sang her BGT-themed song.
One verse included a jab at Saturday Night Takeaway star Stephen and his spin-off show getting axed.
The 45-year-old also used to host Britain's Got More Talent on ITV2.
She sang: "Ant and Dec now I'm feeling the pressure, they've been jolly good chums forever.
"Stephen Mulhern's not as good as them two, that's why he's not on ITV2."
The audience at the time were laughing, along with Ant McPartlin, Declan Donnelly and the judges - including Simon Cowell.
However, viewers at home thought the joke went a bit too far and took to social media to question why she would sing those lines.
"no!!!!! four buzzers for Honey Scott please how DARE she insult Stephen Mulhern this show is nothing without him and bgmt," one user said.
Another added: "Not impressed at all with her slagging off Stephen Mulhern in her song."
"To that guitar-strumming Essex girl on #BGT : Don't you EVER insult Stephen Mulhern like that. Ever," one unimpressed fan commented.
A social media user said: "I liked her song until the Stephen Mulhern part, that was not called for! Stephen Mulhern is a Legend."
"Didn’t like that she dissed Stephen but it was a good song," one posted.
Fans clearly miss BGMT as they took to Twitter after a few episodes of the singing competition to talk about it.

One person asked: "BGT is disapointing this year as it is a big fix! What happened to all the funny terrible auditions? And what happened to Britain's got more talent?"
Another said: "Totally agree with tonight’s #goldenbuzzer #BGT but it’s episode 3 and still not much variety, where are all the funny acts that we all cringe but love watching @BGT" Chris agreed, saying: Bring back all the bad acts ffs! #BGT"
Back in 2020, Stephen opened up about Britain's Got More Talent getting axed from ITV2 after 13 years on screens.
He told Sun Online : “It’s a shame and when it was decided they weren’t going to do the ITV2 version I think the consensus among the boys and judges was this is a massive gap.
“We did it from day one, when there were only three judges. Do I think it’s a shame? I do. We got away with a lot of stuff.”
