Si predict a riot: Simon Cowell sparks furious protest at Britain's Got Talent audition

A jeering 50-strong mob caused chaos at a Britain’s Got Talent audition when they staged a protest against Simon Cowell.

Bouncers were called in to boot out the posse which was angry at Simon for crushing the dreams of a teenage duo called The Elite.

It seemed everyone had loved singer Jenna Milroy, 16, and guitarist Jay Fitzpatrick, 14.

They needed three votes from the four judges to progress to the next round of the ITV contest.

The pair were given the thumbs up by David Walliams, 41, and Alesha Dixon, 34.

But David and Alesha were stunned when show boss Simon, 53, voted no â€" and Amanda Holden, 41, sided with him.

The audience was outraged and fury erupted after the teenagers left the stage in despair.

Jay said: “The crowd went crazy â€" everyone started to roar ‘Bring back The Elite’ and started booing Simon. Later, people were running around going mental.

“That’s when the bouncers began to throw out the crowd that had gathered in the foyer on our side of the arena.

“They were going berserk. All these shouting people eventually got dispersed by the bouncers.”

Shocked Helen Doig, 22, who was in the audience at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow, said: “Everyone started to get really angry because they seemed to love The Elite a lot.”

The BGT Facebook page was flooded with complaints about the decision. Jenna’s dad, Bobby Milroy, said the Paisley duo had “performed brilliantly and behaved impeccably in extraordinary circumstances”.

A BGT spokeswoman said: “The crowd were keen for The Elite to go through but it’s up to the judges.

“People were asked to leave because we needed space to load up for the next session.”
