Britain's Got Talent fans issue same demand as they complain over 'cringe' opening

Britain's Got Talent fans were left fuming over the opening of tonight's episode as they begged for change.

The ITV show is back for a brand new series, airing its second episode this evening. Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli all took their place on the judging panel following David Walliams ' exit.

As the show kicked off today, fans were quick to take to social media to vent their frustrations about the new series as they called for the show to be given a rework as the new series continued on, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly.

The show returned this evening with a visit to the Coronation Street cobbles, as Ant and Dec tried to locate the missing judges. First of all, they bumped into Sally Metcalfe, before heading towards the Rovers Return, only to be stopped by Kirk.

Finally, they found Simon's car parked outside the café, Roy's Rolls, where they sat down for a lunch courtesy of café worker Shona. She served alphabet spaghetti to Simon on toast, but picked out only the B G and T letters for him.

Some fans though desperately called for a change to the show format as they slammed the opening sketch.

One wrote: "Me thinking the intro skit couldn’t get any worse than yesterday’s #bgt #BritainsGotTalent " as a second added: "I usually love #BGT but what is with the cheese overload this year?"

Some viewers want more (ITV)

However, some viewers did love the crossover sketch and begged for more.

"Great start to #BGT loving the coronation street sketch! #Corrie #BGT," one penned, whilst another joked: "Ant and Dec on the Cobbles!? When can I start watching this incredible spin-off?? I always thought Ant might have been related to Gail or Eileen #BGT."

A third quipped: "Does this mean Stephen's next victim will be one of the BGT judges? #BGT #Corrie."

Bruno is a new judge on the show, with Simon Cowell describing the Strictly star as a "natural fit".

"Bruno was just a completely natural fit on the show. It was quite remarkable. Even though he'd never seen the show before, it was just brilliant. It was seamless and as I said before, he's brought some chaos to the show," Simon said.
