Britain's Got Talent fans were disappointed as the latest episode of the show was postponed due to the rugby.

The entertainment series, which is hosted by Ant and Dec, typically airs on Saturday nights.

However, tonight's episode of the show (March 14) was pushed back to accommodate the Six Nations coverage.

The rugby tournament will broadcast from 7.20pm on ITV, with the France and England match set to commence at 8.10pm.

Some viewers were not pleased, sharing messages on social media revealing that they would have preferred to watch Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and newcomer KSI judging the latest Britain's Got Talent auditions, reports Belfast Live.

One viewer posted on X, which was formerly known as Twitter: "What have you done with Britain's Got Talent?? You have ruined Saturday's viewing for millions of people... millions of viewers will switch to another channel."

"There is no BGT, 1% Club or Jonathan Ross because of the rugby!" exclaimed another.

Another viewer commented on Facebook: "The BGT show has been really amazing this year. A lot of unusual acts which have been amazing. Yes why take off prime shows for rugby. There should be a separate sports channel."

"They should have a separate channel for sports," concurred another. "Booo!!" said one fan on Reddit.

However, others were delighted to hear that the rugby would be on, describing it as "good" news and saying they were looking forward to the coverage.

"If we only had other TV channels and programmes to watch???" joked one viewer.

The current series of Britain's Got Talent started in February, with the pre-recorded auditions being broadcast at the moment.

Simon and co have already awarded several Golden Buzzers, with 16-year-old magician Rafferty Coope and Australian para-athlete Paul Nunnari amongst those fast-tracked directly to the next stage of the competition.

The judges also presented the Golden Buzzer to real-world video game act Antigravity, who had Simon and Alesha competing to press the button first.
