Aged between 19 to 22, the dancers revealed they are the first ever K-pop group to appear on the ITV talent show.

They blew the judges away with their own version of Shawn Mendes’s There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.

After getting a standing ovation from the audience as well as Simon, Alesha, Amanda and Bruno, the group were given four yeses.

However, many viewers took to social media to complain about what they had just seen.

One said: "They're already famous and should stay off the show."

A second fumed: "I can only assume the K-Pop band Blitzers are famous outside the UK and were invited by BGT producers.

A third tweeted: "#BGT big in Korea and want to bring it to the UK....mmmmm.....Stinks of Simon bringing them over as his Kpop One Direction."

A fourth added: "Someone help me understand…why are there so many acts from other countries on Britain's Got Talent?!? I don’t get it! Surely the point of #BGT is for Britain to showcase its talent?!?!? Am I missing something?"

A Britain's Got Talent spokesperson has explained the inclusion of international acts in a statement to the Mail Online.

It reads: "Britain's got talent features a range of home-grown talent, alongside some overseas acts.

"It's a testament to the international success of past acts such as Susan Boyle and Paul Potts that overseas acts want to audition for the UK show."

Meanwhile, The Sun recently revealed how Denise and Stefan are favourite to win the show, according to the latest odds from bookies Ladbrokes.
