Britain’s Got Talent 2013 bosses defend amount of ‘professional’ acts

Britain’s Got Talent 2013 bosses have hit back at claims that this year’s series is full of ‘professional’ acts.

The suggestion follows Saturday night’s latest audition episode, which was full of wannabes who had already appeared across the UK and even the world.

Impressionist Francine Lewis has a list of telly credits which include shows on ITV, BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky.

And singing brothers Richard and Adam Johnson have already released an album, and were originally in talks with Sony Music.

Richard confessed: “Sony said we were good but we would have to get ourselves out there more by going on something like Britain’s Got Talent.”

The CEO Dancers meanwhile have toured alongside the likes of Rita Ora, while The Pop’arrazi Crew have previously appeared on both Holland’s Got Talent and So You Think You Can Dance.

A spokesperson hit back at claims today that they tricked fans with the Johnson Brother’s audition at the weekend, telling the Daily Mirror: “We refute any ­suggestion we misled viewers.
