Britain’s Got Talent fans are convinced the ITV show could be “rigged” after seeing magician Damien O’Brien perform tonight.
The BGT performer dropped jaws with his impressive magic act, but it was a remark from judge Ashley Banjo that left viewers thinking the show could be “fixed”.
Diversity star Ashley revealed he actually knew the magician, as he said Damien had originally performed at his wedding.
The dancer, who married wife Francesca in July 2015, said: “Let me tell you what went through my mind. I saw you come on and thought ‘oh, hey man. Last time I saw you, you performed at my wedding.’ How funny is that?”

Viewers were perplexed, and some thought this could mean he was “scouted”.
One said: “Performed at his wedding??? a bit of rigging confirmed there then Ashley.”
While another wrote: “Ashley don’t give away the scouting process.”
“Wait?? He performed at Ashley’s wedding??”, added a third.
