ITV Britain's Got Talent fans call for certain acts to be banned

Some Britain's Got Talent fans have insisted children's acts should be banned after the latest installment of the show. Viewers called for under-16s to be given their own version after the hit talent show featured several acts from little ones on Saturday night (May 21).

They included nine-year-old magician Ryland and sweet Skylar, seven, who performed an epic dance, reports Birmingham Live. Both acts sailed through to the next round of the ITV show with four yeses from Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.

But the audience at home appeared to be less impressed. They complained there were too many kids on the show and called for Britain's Got Talent to have its own children's version, like BBC's The Voice Kids.

Viewers took to Twitter to comment. @MJ_JJ061215 wrote: "There are way too many kids on #BritainsGotTalent this year, they should have their own series and leave this to the adults. #BGT."

@robin101962 agreed: "More kids? Really need a kids version of #BGT & have 16yo & over on the main show."

@ChrisPJCurley said: "Urgh is this BGT the kids edition? #BGT." And @MK5678456 added: "I thought this was Britain’s Got Talent and not you’re average school talent show. #BGT #BritainsGotTalent."
