BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers have called out judge Amanda Holden for ‘flirting’ with one of the acts.
The popular ITV show has held its live semi finals across this week with the final one tonight.
Among the last group of eight acts hoping to reach Sunday’s final was Messoudi Brothers, a juggling duo.
They have previously competed on other 'Got Talent' shows, including reaching the semi-finals of America's Got Talent in 2019, but as a trio.
In Friday's semi-final, the pair juggled pins over the judges' heads as well as in front of and behind a seated Ant McPartlin.

Meanwhile, the ending to their performance saw the duo both rip their trousers off, revealing union jack boxers underneath.
It appears the pair caught Amanda’s attention, as fans picked up on suggestive remarks towards the pair after their performance.
Amanda said: “I’m just asking on behalf of a friend, but if you were in the final, what else would you take off?”
One of the duo replied: “There’s not much more we can take off, it is a family show”, to which Amanda quipped: “Well, after 9 o’clock it’s fine.”
The long-serving judge added: “You were so joyous and so brilliant, there’s always a sense of humour attached to this which I think is really important as well and that self irony.
“I’m gutted you put the dressing gowns back on.”
Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli also seemed to be impressed by the act.
While drinking from a glass of water, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge said: "Very impressive in many, many, many ways!"
Fans watching at home appeared to be in agreement, with one writing on X, formerly Twitter: “Extremely talented and good looking. What’s not to like?”

A second commented: “They are soooo brilliant to watch - loved this performance.”
A third penned: “Brilliant again. Very talented not to mention easy on the eye!”
Meanwhile another viewer took a more critical view, as they shared: “@BGT you should be ashamed to let certain judges comments about this act so so sexist appalling.
"If it was reversed there would be outrage. Bruno & Amanda should be ashamed of themselves in this day and age.”
In their semi-final heat, the Messoudi Brothers faced off against Amasing, Trixy, Gambino Akuboy, The Dark Hero, Alex Mitchell, Denise and Stefan and Cyberagent Legit.
Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful in reaching Sunday's final as comedian Alex Mitchell and magician Trixy advanced.
Britain's Got Talent airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
