Britain’s Got Talent’s Simon Cowell was left unimpressed by Italian comedy act Umberto and Damiano during Saturday’s show. 

The duo, who are famous faces in their native country, took to the stage with a comedic skit based on Disney’s Frozen –  after performing the exact same thing on Italia’s Got Talent in 2022.

While one dressed as snow queen Elsa the other performed hysterical ‘special effects’ with the help of a fire extinguisher and blue Ikea bags.

Amanda Holden, 52, Alesha Dixon, 45, Bruno Tonioli, 68, were left in stitches but music mogul Simon, 64, sat with his hands crossed glaring at the stage.

The double act host their own radio show in Italy and boast a whopping 172K followers on Instagram.

It comes after a report claim that over half of this year’s golden buzzer acts acts, who are already through to the semi-finals aren’t from the UK.

The judges alongside hosts Ant & Dec were all given an opportunity throughout auditions to send two contestants each straight to the semi-finals.

And according to The Sun, a TV insider said: ‘People know the show often features foreign acts – some of them are utterly brilliant and, in many cases, go on to win the contest.

‘But it’s a surprise to think that the cream of the crop who are sent through on golden buzzers are often from other countries.’

And last week viewers threatened to call Ofcom after three acts from Japan auditioned for the show.

Disgruntled fans admitted that they believed the show should be for British people because of its name and wanted to take the issue to the UK TV regulator.

Viewers were less than impressed when show judge Simon gave his Gold Buzzer away to Cyberagent Legit, a professional Japanese dancing act.

During Saturday night’s audition a beatboxing group called Sarukani, a drone operator called Keiichiro Tani and then dance troupe Cyberagent Legit all performed.

And while there are no restrictions about where an act comes from, viewers have formed their own opinions and flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One penned: ‘Did ITV get a group booking for a flight from Japan? Or is this Japan’s got Talent?

‘Can Ofcom look at this like the trade descriptions act?! A very misleading name for a TV show!’

‘They must think people are stupid, they fly a hand picked dance group from Japan and then give them the golden buzzer so they can come straight over for the semi finals, fix.’

‘Did #BGT charter a flight from Japan for this series?’

‘How do they even qualify for #BGT ? They’re from JAPAN? Why don’t we just change the name to The World’s Got Talent?’ questioned someone else.

But, despite some criticism, others loved watching the acts perform, as other performances from Japan blew the audience away.

After being left in awe by their superb audition, viewers unearthed the beatboxing group Sarukani’s successful past after a brilliant Saturday night audition.

The group, made up of four beatboxing artists – Kohey, So-So, Rusy and Kaji – earned themselves a standing ovation after a brilliant performance which saw them recreate Ghost Buster’s theme tune.

The talented four, who are aged between 21 and 24, not only had the audience on their feet but they also charmed the judges as they gave much applause to the group.

And while fans were elated with the performance, some realised they had the act before in a world championship beatboxing competition.
