Britain’s Got Talent viewers are convinced they’ve worked out the identity of the creepy witch who made their debut in last night's show (Saturday April 30). Fans flocked to Twitter to share their bold theory about the slithering character.
The captivating act, which resulted in judge Alesha Dixon fleeing her seat in horror, saw the terrifying character appear on stage in a puff of smoke and menacingly stalk the judges' desk. The witch gave both Alesha and fellow judge David Walliams an apple to bite into before placing an apple in each of Amanda Holden's hands.
Simon Cowell then had to choose an apple for her to bite into, and the other fruit exploded into a disgusting swarm of maggots and cockroaches that filled the desk. Fans of the ITV talent show took to social media to share their thoughts on the 'horrific' stunt with many convinced they've worked out who is behind the prosthetics.

Some viewers reckon the scary contestant who received four yeses is none other than one of the ITV talent show ’s hosts Ant McPartlin or Declan Donnelly, who are known for their undercover pranks on their ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway and work with plenty of creepy crawlies on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! But other viewers pointed out that the pair were seen at the side of the stage as the witch appeared, saying "warning, scary act."
@liverbirdjen said: "Ya know how Ant and Dec always look like Ant and Dec in 'undercover' even with all that makeup on… and nobody sees it’s them… I’m getting pure Dec vibes off that witch!!" The mystery deepened when an account named @WITCH_BGT replied: "Guess again!" and @liverbirdjen gasped: "Lol! Dec Dec Dec!!! "We all know this could of been filmed ANYTIME."
Explaining their theory they said: "This is the only time you and ant Are on screen during this act. This was probably filmed in the morning before anybody else got there with a crew member on stage."
@Hayleylomas1 asked: "Anyone else think the witch from last nights #BGT looked like Dec in prosthetics?" And @JessieLC_02 asked: "Who else thinks it was Dec behind The Witch on last night's BGT?? Actually creeped me out proper that did like."
@Dawnwatson81 said: "Witch act really looked like Ant .. lol.. really good act. Creepy but good. As never seen Ant or Dec once during the act which was odd. Think they borrowed the cockroaches from I'm a celeb. Think they gave a hint. Lol X"
@animallovercat2 wrote: "Looks more like Ant. Check the eyes too. I noticed they didn't appear on camera after the witch was doing its thing. Mind you. Not sure if Ant and Dec can do magic. Lol. See what happens when witch is next on."
@DianeAspinall1 said: "The witch was totally Ant Mcpartlin #BGT." But @mattwrailbus replied: "They were both backstage!!!!"
And Matt said: "People thinking it was Ant or Dec when BOTH were backstage! Good lord! Glad you’re not detectives."
