Britian's Got Talent has sparked controversy in recent weeks and has now become the most complained about TV show of the year.The show which airs on ITV has seen more than 27,000 people complain to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom since the live semi-finals aired several weeks ago.Viewers erupted into a rage following Diversity's powerful performance during the first episode, referencing the Black Lives Matter movement and the death of George Floyd, who died at the hands of a police officer.Despite that episode alone bringing in 24,000 complaints for being "too political", bosses at Britain's Got Talent stood by the decision to go ahead with the performance.Just a week later, judge Alesha Dixon angered viewers by wearing a golden necklace.
