Viewers of the ITV talent show were left shocked after 'vile' acts left children 'screaming', leaving some wondering why it was allowed to be shown before 9pm.

Britain's Got Talent is usually seen as a wholesome family show, but viewers have been left fuming after a 'vile' act left children 'screaming' in fear.

Simon Cowell and co returned for a new series this weekend, but fans are less than impressed with some of the acts which were shown.

Viewers questioned whether younger fans had been considered when the talented hopefuls were picked, with families raging that the chosen contestants had upset little ones.

The show is aired at 7pm, well before the 9pm watershed.

The first performer to ruffle feathers was called Akira, who treated fans to a slapstick show where he appeared completely naked.

He showed up on stage using a silver plate to cover his modesty, before swapping the item for things like a beach ball and a tissue box.

Viewers of the ITV show at home were spared the sight of his bare backside as producer's edited in a Union Jack flag to cover things up, but audience members in the theatre weren't quite so lucky.

Parents were unhappy that the act was chosen for a family show. On YouTube, one ranted: "Absolutely Ridiculous! I had to tell my own children to look away! Kids are watching this!"

Another added: "How did this get through screening? It's not past 9pm?"

"Why is there a bum on my TV at 19:53 on a Saturday evening?" asked one concerned viewer.

"May well be funny for adults. Nevertheless, not at this time of evening on main stream TV," fumed another.

Then, children were apparently left 'screaming' when a gothic daredevil act appeared.

Called Auzzy Blood, the performer appeared in black and red make-up and a warning flashed up on screen, urging viewers not to try what they were about to see at home - just in case you thought shoving giant corkscrews through your face was a good idea.

A three-time Guinness World Record holder, the shocking act has appeared on America's Got Talent as well as a Spanish edition of the show.

Viewers were horrified when the act wielded two giant spirals, the first of which he put through one nostril and out the other.

Fans thought it couldn't get any worse, but then he put the second spiral in his mouth and out through his nose.

Auzzy Blood's eyebrow raising routine continued as he pulled a plastic pipe through his nose, before asking Simon Cowell to drink from it.

He then inserted another hook into his nose before hoisting himself skyward with a rope.

"I don't mind these acts, and happily watch. But again is this really suitable material for family viewing on a Saturday evening," questioned one fan.

"Noooo nooooo, I'm 100% having nightmares tonight," trembled another.

"I’ve got one kid screaming. One kid in awe. One kid hiding behind a pillow," said one parent, while another asked angrily: "Family friendly?!"

"This act should not be shown on tv. It’s disgusting! Kids watch this!!!" cried another.

Simon Cowell defended the choice to show Auzzy, insisting: "It's spooky horror where you don't want to watch it, but you do want to watch it. That's obviously why we're going to show it. We probably will get some complaints. Hopefully."

He added: "I love it when they say 'don't try this at home' like we've all got screws and things just waiting to do that."
