Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) viewers have said they are ‘disgusted’ following a naked audition.

The first show of the 18th series saw 44-year-old comedian, Akira Ohashi take to the stage as part of the first rounds of auditions.

His act revolved around him joking about modesty and pulling off tricks while standing practically naked on stage.

At one point during his audition, he told the judges he was going to show them the Blackpool Tower, leaving some concerned faces before flipping his tray to show an image of the landmark.

Later, in his BGT act, Akira tied a toy car to a ball that was covering his privates, moving along with the car as to not reveal the area and be left completely naked.

Following, the act, many ITV viewers were left distraught and took to social media to complain.

One BGT fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “How did this get through screening? It's not past 9pm?"

Another viewer posted: “I’ve seen more of Akira than I ever planned on!"

As a third wrote: “It's hardly a talent."

While one final BGT viewer said: “Why would Charles and Camilla wanna see a naked man?"

In the end, Akira made it through to the next round after earning three yes votes from the judges.

The ITV returned for its 18th series today, February 22, with judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, singer Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli all returning.
