Britain’s Got More Talent: David Walliams SNAPS at Stephen Mulhern over Sarah Ikumu remark
BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT viewers were left stunned when Sarah Ikumu failed to win a place in Saturday night’s final and amongst those disappointed with the result of the public vote yesterday evening was David Walliams.
David SNAPS at Stephen Mulhern for asking 'stupid question'
The judge was far from impressed when he learned that the singer had not progressed to the next stage of the competition and didn’t hold back when he was probed about the result on spin-off show Britain’s got More Talent.
During a live call-in from viewers, host Stephen Mulhern asked David if there was a reason why Sarah did not win enough public votes.
The 45-year-old was not happy with the suggestion that the hopeful was not talented enough and snapped at the presenter following his remark.
He shouted: “Haven’t you been listening to what we’ve been saying? It’s not about her talent!
Why would you make a stupid comment like that?
“We’ve said it’s because people thought she was safe. Why would you make a stupid comment like that?”
Stephen tried to defend himself as he explained: “People always say that on these shows, don’t they?”
While David was clearly joking with the host, it was clear that he wasn’t the only one struggling to come to terms with the night’s result.
Simon Cowell noted that he was “p***ed off” that Sarah had lost out, commenting: “Everyone was saying that girl was a shoo-in but you never know and fair play to the two of them.
“Ned was really funny and Tokio is a real star. Sometimes people think they are safe. I do mean what I said Stephen, I do think she’s one of the best singers we’ve had on this show.”
Britain’s Got Talent continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
