Britain's Got Talent was embroiled in a brand new fix row just minutes after the show started on Saturday.
Show regulars were also left horrified after a stuntman accidentally set a box on fire.
Yet other telly fans were equally annoyed at what they believed to be the incessant use of tunes from musical The Greatest Showman as a backdrop to the auditions.
One, spotting the frequent playing of Never Enough and This Is Me, took to social media to moan: "Perhaps somebody should let BGT know that they don't need to use The Greatest Showman music in every episode."

A second agreed and put: "I imagine at this point it must be a contractual obligation or something. Like they have to get the rights to each song they use in the show and TGS just so happened to be really cheap, so they just abuse the f**k out of it."
A third then mused: "I swear can someone tell the producers that there are other musicals in the world besides The Greatest Showman."
Another concluded: "It's so annoyingly repetitive that it is quite remarkable."
Show scandal
Back in 2022, fans called out a Greatest Showman-related fix involving contestant Loren Allred.

They suggested it was "unfair" how the New Yorker was allowed to audition for the UK show - after already having recorded vocals for Hugh Jackman's movie.

At the time, she got a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film.
She then told the panel: "I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs."
Loren then defended her experience in the music industry and, at the time, insisted: "I am an unsigned, independent artist still trying to make a name for myself.”
She added: “Even though I have spent a lot of years in the music industry, people don’t know who I am. Over all these years I’ve been fighting for my chance to be known and to make it.
"The opportunity to sing Never Enough evolved from being a session singer in the choir, and even though the song was a big success, people still think that the actress sang it.
"I have never gotten the opportunity to tell my story. That’s never happened for me."
Loren had released an EP in her home country and even duetted with singing legends Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli.
