She wowed the judges with her talent as she took to the stage on Britain's Got Talent but viewers were stunned by young singer Honey Scott's cheeky dig at Stephen Mulhern. Honey performed an original song called Britain's Got Talent which gave a sassy take on the four judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Simon Cowell as well as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
But viewers were stopped in their tracks by the 17-year-old's bold swipe at former Britain's Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern. "Stephen Mulhern not as good as them two," she sang. "That's why he's not on ITV2."
Simon and David were shown bursting out laughing at the comment while there were gasps from the audience. Stephen Mulhern has become one of the best-loved presenters on telly in recent years.

Having started out on kids TV back in the 1990's the magician turned broadcaster has had hosting roles on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Catchphrase, In For a Penny and Britain's Got More Talent. In 2019 ITV axed its Britain's Got Talent spin-off show in favour of 'digital platforms' - leaving a trail of unhappy fans.
Britain's Got More Talent had aired on ITV2 following the main show since 2007. A shift in "viewing habits" were to blame for its axing.
A BGT spokesperson said: "As our 18-34 audience share continues to grow and viewing habits are changing, naturally we are listening to our viewers and focusing more on digital platforms in support of the main show." Viewers took to social media to express their disappointment at the news with the hashtag '#SaveBGMT' trending.
