BGT fans are furious over David Walliams’ ‘inappropriate’ joke during the semi-final… which even left Ant and Dec red-faced
David Walliams ruffled a few feathers on Friday evening as he made an inappropriate joke during the Britain’s Got Talent semi-final.
And fans weren’t happy with the 50-year-old talent show judge, noting that he was being ‘inappropriate’ due to the family nature of the pre-watershed show.
The joke even seemingly left presenters Ant and Dec to squirm, as the pair ignored the comment and asked David about the acts.
