Britain's Got Talent received hundreds of complaints after last weekend's episodes aired - with viewers saying the show had reached a "new low".
The ITV series returned to our screens last Saturday and Sunday with a fresh set of incredible acts.
However, people watching the show at home were not impressed by some of the performances as fans complained about one particularly dangerous audition, calling it 'foul'.
The new series sparked over 400 Ofcom complaints from furious viewers, with most of the complaints coming after the Sunday night show.

On Sunday night, a contestant auditioned by taking on the Rubik's Cube... but on fire.
Thomas Vu, from Los Angeles, set himself alight as he tried to solve the iconic '80s puzzle.
The professional stuntman was covered in a fire-retardant gel and left the judges and audience shocked.
"BGT absolutely not on, setting yourself on fire, do not try this at home. Shouldn't be allowed," one viewer wrote on social media.
A second viewer wrote: "I’m sorry but matey setting himself on fire was foul. That’s not entertainment. Can’t bear these dangerous acts each year."

Another said: "Like what has BGT come to when we set people on fire for entertainment."
"BGT totally ill considered showing a guy setting himself on fire whilst solving a Rubix Cube. No thought to the fact of impressionable children watch the show," someone else added.
Some Ofcom complaints were regarding a flatulence act that had a 'fartist' show off his strange talent.
Viewers called it a "new low" as the opening episode of the series saw a man perform wind tricks.
'Fartist' Ichikawa Koikuchi shocked fans when he started breaking wind to blow out the candles on a birthday cake.
He went on to blow out a dart with the aim of popping a balloon. However, he kept missing the target.
Simon Cowell took to the stage to offer the 'fartist' some support.
Fans immediately took to social media to complain about the audition.
"Has to be a new low for @ITV," one user said while another posted: "At one time, this type of 'act' would never had got through. How low the depths of BGT has fallen. It really is a load of hot air!"
One said: "A new low for #bgt," while another commented: "And so a new low was reached #BGT #BritainsGotTalent."
