A Britain’s Got Talent hopeful has been accused of lying about her age after her performance on the popular talent show.

As the latest episode of Britain’s Got Talent hit our TV screens at the weekend most of us were left speechless at Morgan Smith’s performance but some fans believed the young girl was actually lying about her age.

15-year-old Morgan wowed the audience and left the judges blown away when she performed Etta James’ track ‘Rather Go Blind’.

However, despite her impressive vocals, fans of the show immediately took to Twitter to comment on the situation with fans claiming she was ‘lying’ about her age.

Of course this isn’t the first time this series has come under scrutiny. Just a few weeks ago the show caused controversy with fans when ballet dancing duo, Bitter Harvest, appeared on the show despite having already appeared on Sky 1’s Got To Dance in 2014.

Fans branded the show a ‘joke’ as they expressed their opinion on the situation.

As well as this, fans were outraged when Ant and Dec pressed their golden buzzer for 14-year-old Jasmine Elcock. After her incredible performance of Cher’s popular track ‘Believe’ the youngster stunned audiences.

However, when they discovered she has in fact appeared in hit West End show Annie, fans claimed the buzzer had been ‘wasted’.

Despite this, the show continues to be popular with most viewers and continues on Saturday’s at 8pm.
