The show aired on ITV on Saturday, and the number of complaints has now risen from 1,675 on Monday to a total of 1,901.An Ofcom spokesperson said:"We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate."Britain's Got Talent: Diversity star Ashley Banjo shares 'racism and hate' posts as complaints surpass 21,000
The four-minute routine sparked around 24,500 complaints from members of the public after it aired on ITV on 5 September. The performance saw a dancer playing a white police officer kneel on Ashley Banjo, echoing the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in the US.
Just showing she has the talent to jump on a band wagon
1- Unknown 2- Tv judging 3- Big heads
Go away.
Let’s see if she honours the fallen police officer tonight.
Of the 1,900 complainants, it’s estimated as many as 3 may have watched the programme
This is getting ridiculous now people are complaining about anything
GillJames54 It's thanks to morons like Dixon and all those supporting the defund police BLM movement that policemen are at increased risk. They should hang their heads in shame. They r too thick sadly to have shame.
BLM is RACIST & it's simple to understand WHY. The exclusivity of the NAME of the group says it all. Being a WHITEY my life is CHOPPED LIVER even though I support some of what the BLM folks speak of (POLICE VIOLENCE). But there's a single word they over look RESPONSIBILITY.
Crazy. If the 3 others came on with big white hats nothing would be said. She's black and trying to stick up for her fellow man who, let's face it, history has been shit to. How a skin colour ever defined a person is beyond me. A good heart is not black white yellow pink blue....
The necklace is beautiful . She can wear anything she wants!!!!
who the hell cares if she supports BLM the racist group. It says more about her than anything else.
Some people really need to get a life!🤪
dont watch that marxist lovin she ,let the scum support criminals its what there good at .
Yes. Overt support for racist riot scum during family tv is beyond the pale.
Sack her
From people, all of whom, seriously need to get a life.
To those who complained. What do you consider to be an “appropriate” demonstration against racism, police brutality & murder of unarmed blck people, white nationalists when literally anything triggers complaints from you?
All lives matter, but more and more I’ve went from not being racist in any way To becoming more racist with the way I’m being forced to see and hear it in the media by over privileged tv presenters.
Obviously black people believe they themselves matter, seems to me though that it should be white people wearing 'BLM' items to show support to black people. So here is mine!
Your off button can do more damage. USE IT
Love me some triggered gamon brits 😂
The woke did fuck all with 20,000 so 1,900 they will do fuck all. But 20 or 30 for something trivial your forced to do an on air apoligey
1,900 letters containing the phrase 'I'm not racist but...'
It's amazing how gammons can snowflake
1900 complaints from the same grumpy Gammons who call anyone not ok with the status quo a snowflake 😂
A black person wearing a BLM necklace is the same as a white person weaing a KKK necklace.
These tories constantly hating on a beautiful woman who is fighting for equality and to end racism have nothing on her. I’m so proud of her!
Needs binned
People getting wound up over a necklace pathetic sad losers
Shame it didnt get caught up somewhere. Wouldnt that be a shame if the old columbian marching powder sniffer died.
It’s supposed to be non political! I won’t watch it again!
White lives matter
Black olives matter
1900 people need a life.
Well done Alesha! Respect
Racists end of discussion
People have nothing else to do but to complain about a BLM necklace? Each of them should be made to do some community work that would teach them to complain to Ofcom again.
Who cares? So many pathetic people with nothing better to do with their time than to complain about a necklace - boring!!
Twitter nonces having a meltdown over a necklace.
Please keep your personal views and beliefs away from the entertainment that people use as an escape lest more and more people find their entertainment elsewhere to the detriment of the industry.
Good, marxist hate groups aren't welcome, love how they deleted a page stating break up of family unit as well.
It’s fairly shocking how ITV are happy to politicize a family show and ram a message down the viewers throats. Ofcom take action please!!
ALM
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !
And I thought all the cry babies were going to boycott the show after they were triggered by a dance group.
Make that 1901. I’m phoning in
No point in complaining, waste of time. All you achieve is to create more space for the likes of her and that Banjo prick to step in and wave their race victim cards.
Fixed it: '1,900 racists have called Ofcom, to say 'Alesha Dixon shouldn't be wearing a Black Lives Matter necklace, because Black lives don't matter'. ' Or are these people so thick, that they don't understand BLM is an unfinished statement of equality, not supremacy🤷♀️
Just switch off, then Simon can deal with it
She has the right to support marxism, looting and extermination of white people and I have the right to think she's not well
1900 of you should be ashamed of yourselves we will live in democracy where we are all equal and free to say and do what we want without fear
Decide not to watch this programme again
Omg anything to do with blm is getting complaints touching a nerve with some ppl? Get over urselves just shows how much injustice is in the world
one thing i have noticed here most of the lefties are from the london area the very place that has the biggest issue the rest of us don't give a dam
The headline should be “the same people that complained about the diversity routine complained about Alesha’s necklace”
Well, the organization didn't bring her there; SHE did.
conplants pople have nothing better 2 do . AND BLACK LIVES DO MATTER
at the end of the day every tv has an off button, as less watch this crap the direction of the program will change forced by the advertisement companies its all about revenue and share holders .
All lives matter!
Karen’s to the left of me Karen’s to right here I am stuck in the middle
Good. Just a bunch of evil terrorists
More dumb snowflakes crying again...
1900 Racists being outed or is it a complaint about another awful outfit from Alisha? Either way they need to get a life. I wonder what their phone calls sounded like? What the hell could they say that would not make them sound like intolerant racists. Play the calls & name them!
It's a political statement on a family show, FACT.
Have people got nothin else to do than waste phone bill 🙄
What seems to be the problem?
Who cares ? If it upsets you then just don't watch it
Once that dance group did that political shite and she wore that nonsense it was the off button for me
All lives matter
BGT is a family program & should remain just that. If Alesha want to join her buddy Ashley & preach BLM then Fock off & do it on your own time & don’t ram it down family’s throats every chance you get. I think the program should be taken off air anyway it’s shit like the X factor
SHE CAN WEAR WHATEVER SHE WANTS to make a point about inequality. if you don't understand that too bad.
We've never liked Marxism in this country.
1900 people triggered by a necklace. Sorry but that is pathetic to say the least.
UKLabour Conservatives support for racism has consequences and entourages hatred
Honestly its just a necklace. People are so sensitive these days
FFS people not got better things to do with their time?
1,901 now.
ElaineDavies943 Ofcom are no longer fit for purpose , need scrapping
How sad, a so called icon for white teeth, stating BLM and not ALM.
AllLivesMatter ftw
The entirety of viewer ratings complained then
Some of the racists responding. Oh my their little purple heads exploding. 😂
Who are these people that complained
Why are all these people moaning? How ridiculous!
People literally go out of their way to get offended
AND!! BORING SKYNEWS
Went completely over my head. Thought it was initials of children or partner 🙈
Necklace snowflakes every where
Really ...?
Wow....that shite still has so many viewers
You may as well report 60m complaints. Ofcom will still not review !
Would you look at that 🤔
Right wing snowflakes upset by a dance and now a necklace.
Oi sky news what’s your agenda here? You’ve tweeted about this 3 times today, are you trying to generate more complaints 👀
Seriously people, get a grip.
Go Alesha
Why do you keep posting this?
1900 racists* There, headline fixed
Whats troubling is that this must be the 4th time has retweeted it. Who cares?
This has caused a bit of a chain reaction
1900 should be arrested and sent to re-education work camps for the common good 🦄💪🏾
Sad middle aged statue defenders with no lives. It’s laughable.
So a handy list of racists right there.
She should have it printed on her dress next time 👍😂
Even I didn't get as many complaints when I showed my genitals on comic relief BGT2020 BlackLivesMatter
That's nothing Mr Williams has his tattooed on his bum
Should the new line up of judges on BGT be Andrew Marr Andrew Neil and Laura kuenssberg?
Is it just me or are people complaining more at the moment. Too much time on their hands.
the brits are almost as racist as Americans... 😒
I wonder how many of those complaints come from you running this story every ten minutes?
Gammons have too much time on their hands 😂🐷
Britain’s got racists, more like it 🙄
Absolutely ridiculous. Do these sad people have no lives?
Just embarrassing and probing the point. BlackLivesMatter
I’m sorry but I just have to say it. Anyone complaining about this is a disgusting racist. We have no tolerance for racism in this country, if you don’t like BLM, you should be arrested!!
There’s some very troubled folk out there.
Whites just can't pretend the HATE they have for Black Afrikans...
AllLivesMattter
Why would someone complain about this?
Luckily we are not a racist society
Fuck me it’s only a chain... let her wear a group tan by white people behind closed doors.. lol I ain’t John snow and I’ll never bend my knee.. tell a lie I would to tie my shoes that’s it
We have virus cause we are to clean...simple,not nice but true please tell people...
Again, I'd love to hear some of these sad bastards phonecalls 😂😂😂
And they call lefties snowflakes 😂
Complaining about someone’s necklace 🤣🤣
God u get fed up hearing about it
