BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers have been left stunned and angry over one of the show’s acts, as they brand it ‘disgusting’.

ITV viewers were left fuming after one act took to the stage on Britain’s Got Talent, before quickly stripping down and performing naked.

Japanese act Akira Ohashi, 44, left little the imagination as he used a silver plate to protect his dignity as he then pulled off tricks that saw him very nearly flash the audience and the camera.

Taking to social media, viewers didn’t find the act funny as one wrote: “How did this get through screening? It’s not past 9pm?”

Another shared: “I’ve seen more of Akira than I ever planned on!”

“It’s hardly a talent,” said a third.

While one unimpressed BGT viewer shared: “Why would Charles and Camilla wanna see a naked man?”

“I thought BGT was a family show? They’ve got some guy, pretty much with his d*ck out on stage…” said another.

One more posted: “why is this man naked on my tv screen hiding his bits with plates, tissues and anything else hes got there.”

The comments follow as BGT viewers were also left unimpressed with the show thanks to some changes to its format and a shake up on the judges.

Bruno Tonioli was initially missing from the judge’s panel due too schedule conflicts, and instead replaced by YouTube star, singer, rapper and pro boxer KSI.

However the star’s guest appearance failed to impress fans, with many left questioning who he was.

Despite confused viewers at home, he was greeted to a roaring welcome as hosts Ant and Dec announced him to the stage for the auditions.

KSI had previously filled in for Bruno Tonioli during three days of audition tapings last year, as ITV disclosed, due to Bruno’s commitments with Dancing with the Stars in the States.

Speaking about his involvement with the ITV show, KSI shared: “I’m so excited to be a guest judge for Britain’s Got Talent. When I got the call up, I couldn’t believe it.

“I remember watching old BGT episodes and going from being amazed to laughing my a**e off. I’m buzzing to see all the fresh new talent, and I’ll be sure to leave a mark!”

Britain’s Got Talent returns Saturday March 1st to ITV1 and ITVX at 7pm.

A FORMER flight attendant has warned about in-flight thieves who book tickets just to nick luggage.

Barbara Bacilleri, 31, has shared some sneaky tips for passengers who are keen to protect their luggage from onboard bandits.

While it might seem like you can finally relax once you’re strapped in, ready for your flight, Barbara suggests that you might want to keep an eye on your carry on.

She told What’s the Jam: “Flying is often seen as a safe and organised experience, but the reality is that there are many things passengers don’t know.

“Things that can turn a flight into an uncomfortable or even dangerous situation.

“From the chaos of carry-on luggage to in-flight thefts, there are hidden truths airlines don’t tell you.

“And by the time you find out, it might be too late.”

Barbara warned that while people are resting with their eye masks on and ear plugs in, thieves might be rifling around in the overhead lockers.

Some crooks might even book tickets just to get access to luggage.

There is rarely CCTV on planes so once your items have vanished they might be difficult to trace.

The Argentinian flight attendant said airlines tend not to take responsibility for lost belongings so it’s best to stay wary.

HOW TO AVOID FLIGHT THIEVES

Barbara said the key takeaway from her advice will always be to keep your valuables in sight.

Whether you’ve stuffed your belongings under your chair or in the overhead lockers, it’s best to take out the most important things and keep them near you.

Passports, phones, wallets and keys can easily be kept on your person and can easily be snatched from the front of a rucksack.

If you land and you realise one of your valuables is missing, Barbara said unfortunately it may already be too late.

She added: “To avoid becoming a victim, never lose sight of your valuables.

“Keep your important items, documents, and money with you at all times.”

TIPS AND TRICKS

One common misconception when flying is that the overhead locker directly above your seat is the one assigned to you.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.

Despite paying for the seat underneath it, anyone can put their carry-on anywhere on the flight – so someone may have decided to pop theirs in the locker nearest you.

While this isn’t ideal, there isn’t anything the cabin crew can do about it and you’ll just have to shuffle up the aisle and place yours elsewhere.

Another tip Barbara offered was to test how heavy your hand luggage is at home.

Not because you’ll have to pay extra, but because it’s not the flight attendant’s job to lift the bag into the lockers if it’s too heavy.

“If every passenger asked for help, they would be lifting hundreds of kilos per flight,” Barbara continued.

“If they get injured, they can’t continue working.

“Even worse, if they hurt themselves helping a passenger, the airline won’t take responsibility.”

Barbara said, of course, there are exceptions, but as a general rule of them – if it’s too heavy for you to lift, it’s probably too heavy for the cabin crew as well.

A BOY is still receiving vital hospital treatment after he was struck by a car in Co Donegal yesterday.

The boy, aged 5, was a pedestrian who was walking at Largy, outside Kilcar when the accident happened just before 5pm.

The area is popular with visitors and locals alike who visit an area known as the Secret Waterfall.

The boy was rushed to Sligo General Hospital where he remains.

Nobody else was hurt during the incident.

Gardai immediately cordoned off the scene with two cars remaining behind the Garda cordon.

A full forensic examination of the scene on the R263 road between Kilcar and Killybegs took place earlier today.

The road has just reopened to all traffic.

Yesterday, the spokesperson for Gardai said: “Gardaí attended the scene of a serious road traffic collision that occurred on the R263 at Largy, Killybegs, Co. Donegal this evening Friday 21st February, 2025.

“At approximately 5pm Gardaí were alerted to a collision that involved a pedestrian and car.

“A male pedestrian, aged 5 years was removed from the scene to Sligo University Hospital with serious injuries.

“No other injuries were reported at the scene.

“The road is currently closed and local diversions are in place.

“The road will remain closed overnight as a technical examination is due to be carried out by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators tomorrow morning, 22nd February, 2025.

“Investigations ongoing.”

PUT your vision to the test with this sea-themed brainteaser that will reveal if you have an eye for detail.

Only those with the best eyesight and attention to detail will be able to find the sword in 10 seconds.

The two sailors are obvious in this image, but the sword is less obvious.

Those who created the puzzle have made it tricky by using bright colours like orange to catch attention and by including extreme detail in the drawing.

These various elements of the image are all working to keep you from your goal.

So, if you want to solve it in just a few seconds, get rid of any distractions.

While one sailor seems busy and faces away, and the other looks out to sea.

The hand on his hip makes you think that the sword would clearly be there, but it is not.

An object coming from the second sailor seems like it could be a sword, but it is not quite right.

So, all that is left is for you to scour the image carefully, making sure you don’t miss any element.

To do this, you may find it helps to minimise the search area.

For example, divide it into more manageable chunks like quarters and search each section carefully before moving on to the next.

Make sure you look at the textures of the materials.

Are there any that seem strange to you?

Don’t forget that the sword may not be as obvious as you may have initially thought.

Perhaps it helps to think of this as more of an optical illusion.

When you think you’ve found it, or if you’ve thrown in the towel, scroll down to reveal where the sword is.

Now that your brain is fired up, why not have a go at some more mind-boggling challenges?

Don’t forget the tips you learned earlier if needed.

As always, the answers will be shared below.

Once you give those a go, you can find some more on our puzzles page.

A JUDGE has taken the ­unusual step of naming a private maternity nurse responsible for 20 separate injuries on newborn twins, in order to protect other infants.

Judith Rowe KC said there was a “powerful public interest” in identifying Emily Waters.

Judge Rowe said Waters was working without being subject to any regulations of an employer or ­professional body[/caption]

She found freelance Waters responsible for an appalling catalogue of harm during a 12-day stint with a family in 2023.

Judge Rowe said Waters was working without being subject to any regulations of an employer or ­professional body.

She said: “It would be difficult to explain to the public why the name of the perpetrator was hidden, without a compelling reason.

“Beyond the question of public interest, publication will significantly add to the safeguards against the risk posed to children by Ms Waters.”

In October 2023, Waters, who handled night-feeds, woke the infants’ mother to say Baby X was in distress.

X had a broken leg, a fractured skull, a bruise to the forehead and seven rib breaks.

Twin Y had ten rib fractures.

Waters had googled “broken leg baby” at 12:19am, an hour before she woke the mum.

Police launched a probe but it was unclear if their investigation was ongoing.

Waters, in her mid-30s, claimed the injuries were accidental.

The judge, who was overseeing care proceedings, cleared the parents of wrongdoing at London’s Family Court and concluded “dishonest” Waters was a continued risk to children.

SIR JIM RATCLIFFE and the rest of INEOS are “sick” of hearing about Manchester United’s glorious past and recent decline.

And some within United’s hierarchy believe the recent struggles go down to legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who remained with the club as an ambassador after retiring from the dugout in 2013.

According to The Mirror, minority shareholder Ratcliffe, 72, and director of sport Sir Dave Brailsford “want absolutely nothing to do with the past” and are done hearing about how Man Utd used to dominate.

Brailsford feels the past’s achievements are weighing heavily on how the Red Devils now go about the business of bringing back the glory years.

So much so that it’s become an “obsession” not to mention the period when Man Utd were one of the best teams in thw world.

In fact, some influential figures at Old Trafford even feel that Ferguson is to blame for the Manchester giants’ decline the last 12 years.

Fergie won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League trophies during a stunning 17-year reign that ended in 2013.

But club chiefs feel Sir Alex’s presence didn’t allow the club to embrace developments in coaching and scouting.

The Scottish legend’s multi-million pound contract was ended in October by the new regime, who are devoted to cutting costs amid high losses.

SunSport revealed another savage round of redundancies is imminent.

Employees have been called up for a meeting that will take place at Old Trafford on Monday.

They are expecting to be told that up to 200 more jobs are set to be cut.

That’s just seven months after INEOS laid off 250 members of staff at United.

THE SCOTTISH transfer window shut at the end of last month.

But Dundee United could be on the verge of losing one of their key players due to another league’s late window, according to a report.

Kevin Holt is set to leave Dundee Utd for Derry City this weekend[/caption]

The Courier has revealed that Kevin Holt looks set to join Derry City as the Irish outfit’s transfer window slams shut this evening.

The stopper has been a target for the club since the beginning of January but only now have they launched their bid to bring him to the club.

And with the Irish transfer window closes at 11.59pm on Saturday night, they have stepped up their pursuit.

United will receive a five figure sum and add ons for their man, who’s contract expires at the end of this season.

He has reportedly expressed his desire to take sign the two year deal which will see his salary increased.

Jim Goodwin earlier stated this week that Holt would be “going nowhere” and that it would “leave us short and we’re not going to do that.”

But with the player able to leave for free at the end of the season, Utd have opted to sell.

It’s a blow for Dundee Utd who now cannot sign a replacement outwith the Scottish window.

They currently it fourth in the Premiership in their first season back in the top flight.

Goodwin guided his side to promotion last term after a blistering league campaign.

And he has continued his fine work for the Tangerines this season as they sit a point behind Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen in third.

Holt has featured 29 times this season and was a huge figure in their success last season.

He also had spells with Queen of the South, Dundee and Partick Thistle.

It leaves Utd with four alternative centre back options in Declan Gallagher, Ross Graham, Manny Adegboyega and Sam Cleall-Harding.

Vinnie, from Glasgow’s Ruchazie area, was immediately showered with golden confetti after bringing the house down at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.

He said: “Everybody was on their feet, people were crying and cheering and I just thought, ‘This is crazy’.

“It was incredible, my mum was in tears and kept saying ‘I can’t believe this’.”

Music mogul Simon, 65, rushed onto the stage to embrace Vinnie, telling him: “I’m speechless, but you deserve this.

“That was incredible.”

He then pointed to the rapturous audience and said: “Look at what you’ve done.”

After bagging a photo with show hosts Ant and Dec, Vinnie was mobbed by excited fans at the stage door before heading off to celebrate at Nando’s with mum Ann, dad Joe and sister Hannah.

He said: “I was sitting all these people started coming over asking for selfies.

“I’m a big friendly character who will talk to anybody.

“If people love what I do, then I’m happy to give back and take a picture.

“My dad joked, ‘Right, you can get your selfies later, just eat your chicken’.”

We told previously how Vinnie took to the stage months after singing at his tragic brother Frankie’s funeral.

He was left devastated after Frankie, 47, died from a suspected irregular heartbeat.

Vinnie told how the only thing he remembers from his BGT audition was getting a “cuddle” from Simon.

He said: “He was the one I wanted to impress, I would have been happy even if he just gave me a nice comment.

“But the fact he hit the Golden Buzzer has completely changed my life.”

Vinnie is keeping tight-lipped about his next performance ahead of a meeting in London next month about the live shows.

He said: “I have a few tricks up my sleeves so watch this space.”

A MUM-OF-TWO shared the hate she has received after undergoing countless procedures post-partum.

Maisie revealed that she has forked over a total of £20,000 on surgeries, including “Turkey teeth”.

Speaking on the Truly YouTube channel, she explained how she got a gastric sleeve to help her go from 19 stone to nine stone seven pounds.

After her weight loss, Maisie decided to have a full “mummy makeover”, revealing that she “became obsessed with plastic surgery”.

I had a mummy makeover and I became obsessed with plastic surgery.

She explained that she “just can’t stop” and is delighted to feel comfortable in her body since she began dieting at 15.

Maisie joked that she had even “tried to contour my 42 chins”.

So far, she has had a gastric sleeve, thigh lift, breast uplift and implants, 360-degree tummy tuck, as well as having her eyebrows tatted on, Botox, and lip fillers.

The influencer estimated that spends around £150 each week on beauty appointments, including having her lashes done.

However, there is one procedure in particular that she said trolls online “hate.”

Maisie said that her “Turkey teeth” have been a point of contention since she first shared videos about them in March 2024.

“I get so many negative comments, the hate I got was horrific,” she explained, revealing that people have called her “cocky” and “not normal in the slightest”.

“That looks so ugly, why would someone do that to herself?” Maisie has been asked.

People in her comments section have also called her veneers a “joke”.

Another viewer told her the teeth are “too big for your gob”, adding that she can “hardly talk”.

One troll told her that her “dentist should be shot”, while another said: “You’ve got ivory hunters chasing you.”

However, Maisie said that she doesn’t let the hate get to her, in fact she embraces it.

Nothing fazes me anymore, put me on a slab, put the anesthetic in me, I’m away.

Maisie

She explained that she received 15 million views over three videos on her teeth, calling it a “good pay day”.

And the mum doesn’t plan to stop undergoing procedures any time soon.

“Nothing fazes me anymore, put me on a slab, put the anesthetic in me, I’m away,” she said.

Maisie revealed that she now wants a face lift and a nose job, as well as another boob job.
