Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals 2016: dancing dinosaur act Bespoke Candi slammed as ‘awful’ by Alesha Dixon and viewers

There have been some hugely impressive acts on Britain’s Got Talent so far, from eye-popping dance routines to belting singing performance.

Not every act has impressed, though – and Bespoke Candi failed to convince some viewers, as well as judge Alesha Dixon.

The act, which saw a group of dancers and fire-breathers joined on-stage by a bopping T-rex, was not a hit with the Boy Does Nothing singer.

Dixon not only pressed her own buzzer, but also hit the buzzers of Amanda Holden and David Walliams while the group performed.

Declaring herself the “voice of reason”, Dixon told the group: “you’ve got to do more than that.”

She added: “The dinosaur is cute, but I’m sorry the act is terrible.”

Simon Cowell disagreed, saying the performance was “great for kids”.

David Walliams offered a more positive assessment of the routine, joking that it was “definitely the best dinosaur-based act we’ve seen tonight by a long way.”

Dixon wasn’t the only person who didn’t get it, though – with many confused viewers commenting on the act on Twitter.

Not everyone was happy with Alesha hitting the other judges’ buzzers, though.

Will the prehistoric performers earn enough audience love to make it to Saturday’s live final? Stay tuned.
