Simon Cowell and the judges couldn’t get enough of The Haunting’s act in the first live semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent, but the viewers weren’t having any of it.

The spooky act used camera tricks, lighting and storytelling to terrify judge Amanda Holden, but a couple of mistakes spotted by the audience saw Twitter users in raging over The Haunting’s place in the live shows.

‘What a sh*t trick by The Haunting. Sh*t acting, amateur trick. The only thing she really achieved was giving poor Amanda Holden the cr*ps,’ wrote one unimpressed viewer.

Another added: ‘The haunting on BGT was sh*te tbf I don’t understand the point of the act?! Is it just to “scare” @AmandaHolden I don’t get it’.

The main thrust of the act was based around a dead woman called Agatha, who had apparently been ‘haunting’ Amanda since they’d first ‘met’ in the audition stages of the competition.

Elizabeth, the face of the troupe, led Amanda down into a basement where a creepy young girl was waiting for her, singing Rock A Bye Baby.

BGT fans weren’t keen on her singing either, with some quipping it’s a good job the group hadn’t entered the competition as a musical act.

The main issue, however, came when Elizabeth switched positions with the old Agatha which was meant to be a surprise trick.

But those at home could see her hiding behind the stairway, ruining the surprise for all of us.

At least Amanda was sufficiently terrified, as she accidentally dropped a huge F bomb when she realised Elizabeth was stood directly behind her.

Maybe it was good if you’re the one in the hot seat?

Britain’s Got Talent live shows air every day this week at 7.30pm on ITV.
