ITV has been hit with another scandal after an audience was reportedly dragged out during the Britain’s Got Talent live show.
The broadcaster has landed itself in hot water with the public recently following the brutal I’m A Celebrity row that engulfed the channel. Tensions eventually reached fever pitch during the live final on Friday (April 24).
Ex-Emmerdale star Adam Thomas would go on to win the show despite the controversies, with even Ant and Dec being drawn into the fighting. However, it seems that ITV was hit with a second scandal in as many days, as one audience member is believed to have been escorted out of a live show.

Less than 24 hours after tensions rose to boiling point on the I’m A Celebrity set, controversy swarmed ITV once again; this time on Britain’s Got Talent. With Ant and Dec at the helm once again, viewers tuned in for the first live semi-final of the hit talent show on Saturday night (April 25).
However, according to the Sun, security teams at ITV were allegedly forced to step in and drag a woman out of the building while the show was on air. Millions had been watching the show, taking place at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London.
Photos captured moments after the alleged incident took place showed the woman trying to fight out of the grip of the security guards. She was also papped lashing out at crew members whilst she was being kicked out of the building.

Former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, who had been attending the show to give a performance, had seen the incident as it allegedly unfolded. The Broken Heels singer was later escorted into the building for her safety.
Later on, after the show aired, host Ant McPartlin seemed to be in good spirits as he left the studios with wife Anne Marie Corbett. The pair were seen holding hands as they got into a taxi to go home together.
It comes after an incredibly tense I’m A Celebrity final which saw famous faces walk off set due to the horrific row between David Haye, Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas. David would continuously interrupt the show to ask Adam whether he thought he was a “worthy winner” after the brutal tirade he launched at Jimmy.

Jimmy himself would brand the decision to edit the row down a “liberty”. However, Ant and Dec, who have previously been impartial as a result of his hosting duties, was quick to get involved and refute Jimmy’s claims that Adam’s rant was “abusive, aggressive and intimidating”.
