BGT finalist Robert White gets PUSHED by Big Narstie
Big Narstie has said sorry after footage showed him shoving Britain’s Got Talent contestant Robert White following the semi-final show.
The 32-year-old rapper pushed the comedian out of his way on Wednesday night’s instalment of the show when he attempted to touch his wrist.
Soon after the incident, Big Narstie took to Twitter to set the record straight and told his 151,000 followers: “Hello high to the world, sorry if I came across aggressively last night.
“But I didn’t like my personal space being invaded in that manner [I] just followed natural reaction #BGMT God bless everyone, all love.”
His apology was met with mixed response, with one user writing: “Too little too late, you’re in the wrong industry, personal space my a***. It’s a fun show you obviously never watched and I hope will never be on ever again.”
“I don’t accept. You were aggressive earlier in the show and happy to invade other’s space; the shove was just confirmation of your nature," another added.
A third fumed: “No excuse, I hope they don’t book you again.”
Others were more sympathetic, with one tweeting: “Don’t have to explain yourself at all."
Another said: “You did nothing wrong."
Someone else commented: “You didn’t need to explain yourself bro, it’s all love.”

Meanwhile, Robert took to Twitter to make known that there was no bad blood between him and the British rapper.
He wrote: “Big Narstie hi-fived, shook and then made up. No bad feelings from me.
“To me the visual joke was obvious; the tiny guy dancing with the big guy, but not everyone thinks in comedy, so I think you should give the benefit of the doubt #bgmt.”
Big Narstie also responded to the tweet with a message of support, saying: “#bdl my g, all love f**g smash da final.”(sic)
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative of Big Narstie for comment.
Robert will compete this Sunday for the chance to be crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2018.
He faces tough competition from The D-Day Darlings, Lost Voice Guy, Donchez Dacres and Calum Courtney in the grand finale.
However, there is still one more semi-final show to go before someone is handed the Britain’s Got Talent title.
The winner of the talent show will win a £250,000 cash prize, a slot in the Royal Variety line-up along with a “big surprise” as promised by Simon Cowell.
Britain’s Got Talent continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
