Britain's Got Talent viewers called out the "rude" judges on Thursday night, over their treatment towards magician Kimoon Do.
The comedian and magician returned to the stage during the latest semi-final of the ITV talent series, and was thrown off when he got buzzed three times.
Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli all pressed their buzzers for him, leaving Alesha Dixon and hosts Ant and Dec unimpressed.
They weren't the only ones as viewers at home called them out, believing their issues with the performance were down to production and not the act.
Kimoon Do's latest act consisted of him turning blank deck cards into spade, heart, diamond and club cards.

Amanda suddenly buzzed, later claiming it was because she didn't think it was a good enough trick.
Britain's Got Talent 2023 magician Kimoon Do didn't win over the judges (ITV)But Simon put him buzzing the act down to him not being able to see anything from where he was sat.
While the magician had Ant and Dec helping him, he was on the big stage and using a table to do his trick, with a camera filming it and revealing to viewers what was going on.
But it seems the judges could not see this or the trick hence the buzzers, but viewers slammed this as it wasn't the act's fault.

Simon did admit this and told Kimoon: "We’ve been very rude to you and I apologise. It's not your fault."
Dec then made a jibe, telling him: "It's not your fault but I'm gonna buzz you anyway..."
