Every year popular talent show Britain's Got Talent hits the headlines for its weird, wonderful and sometimes outrageous acts but this time the show has been hit by 'fix' claims following a suspcious tweet before the show aired.

Before Ant and Dec landed on our TV screens on Saturday night's show, viewers were shown excited fan tweets including a tweet from a lady called Sarah Schofield.

Sarah's tweet, which she composed two hours before the show started, read, 'Can't wait for BGT tonight #BGT'.

Viewers of the show were quick to notice the tweet and expressed their confusion at how a tweet which was sent only two hours before the show was included in the final production of the episode.

It also emerged that Sarah, the girl who sent the tweet, is a PR manager at a company which helps boosts brands image on social media.

Despite this a source close to Britain's Got Talent has confirmed that despite Sarah being friends with a producer of the talent show, her tweet was 'perfectly innocent'. They added that the producer has been reminded of his role.

On Saturday night's show the judges seemed to be in a good mood, putting through a number of acts despite giving them the dreaded red buzzer during their performances.

But it was North East dance couple Ali and Grace who seemed to steal the show with their incredible and moving routine to Sara Bareilles' 'Gravity'.

Watch their performance below:
