ITV Britain's Got Talent viewers say the same thing about children's acts

Britain's Got Talent fans echoed the same thing when it came to the children's acts.

The popular talent contest returned on Saturday as the search for the UK's next star to perform at the Royal Variety continued. Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell were in the judges' chairs to decide which of the hopefuls would progress to the next stage.

But some heavily criticised tonight's show likening it to a "school talent show" due to the amount of children's acts. The programme tonight opened with two groups made up of children singing and dancing.

The first two acts were a class led by teacher Banji who did a performance of the song 'New King' and a group called Boycanto who did a performance from the Matilda musical. They each got four yeses from the judges.

There was another act who also got four yeses, dancing act United 2 Dance. The group were surprised by judge Bruno Tonioli who told them they would be auditioniung for the show,.

However, many viewers were not happy with the amount of childrens acts. Taking to Twitter, user @neilatkins2 said: "Tired of these kids acts just cringey."

Second user @BevFink added: "Is this kids got talent? #bgt." And @kisshufan4ever also said: "We need a kids version of #bgt I'm sick of these kid acts #BritainsGotTalent."

Other people were also not happy with tonight's line-up, @devil_mick said: "#BGT need a kids version."

Twitter user @KAT3MIDDLET0N added: "MORE KIDS YOU JOKING #BGT." (sic)

However, not all viewers of the show were annoyed by the children's act, as @boniface_lyn penned: "#BGT There only kids, there are nor professionals.

"Negative comments, can you do any better...If that was your child, sister or brother, would you like the negative comments..." (sic)
