BIG Narstie has apologised for "aggressively" shoving a Britain's Got Talent finalist - saying his personal space was "invaded".

The rapper got into a bust up with funnyman Robert White who tried to dance with him.

In a tweet, Big Narstie told fans: "Hello high to da world sorry if I came across aggressively last night but I didn’t like my personal space being invaded in that manor just followed natural reaction #BGMT god bless everyone all love."

BGT viewers were left stunned when the saw Big Narstie lash out at the comedian during Anne-Marie's performance on Britain's Got More Talent.

Aspergic Robert was celebrating landing a spot in the BGT final when the shorter comedian jokingly tried to dance with the much bigger rapper.

But video footage showed Big Narstie take the joke the wrong way while the crowd danced to pop star Anne-Marie's 2002 hit.

BGMT host Stephen Mulhern is seen pulling faces at the camera with Big Narstie when Robert tries to take hold of his wrist to dance.

But the joke took a sudden turn when the rapper immediately pushed the Aspergic comic out of the camera shot.

The 41-year-old later defended Big Narstie telling fans to "give him the benefit of the doubt" and explained that he believed the "visual joke was obvious".

Funnyman Robert said: "Big Narstie hi-fived, shook and then made up. No bad feelings from me.

"To me the visual joke was obvious; the tiny guy dancing with the big guy, but not everyone thinks in comedy, so I think you should give the benefit of the doubt."

It's not known whether Robert fell in the scuffle, but Big Narstie appears to be looking down at the floor.

Viewers leapt to Robert's defence moments after the spat was aired on ITV2.

One fan said: "Dear @SimonCowell I suggest @bignarstie is never booked again for a show under your name. He just aggressively pushed Robert White live on BGMT when Rob tried to dance, absolutely disgusting behaviour, from an ignorant vile bully #bgt #bgmt @davidwalliams".

Another added: ";Wtf did I just see at the end of Britain’s Got More Talent?!!! Big Nasty just pushing Robert White away !!! Living up to his name."

Robert replied to his fans: "Dear All, thank you for the nice messages and tweets. I literally can't reply to them all because my phone has gone into meltdown. But to everyone deepest thanks."

The Sun Online has contacted Big Narstie's reps about the incident.
