'WHAT A FARCE'
BRITAIN'S Got Talent viewers were left stunned tonight when an act was put through to the next round despite initially being buzzed out by the judges.
Simon Cowell dubbed Irshad Shaikh from Ilford, Essex, the "world's worst impressionist" after he performed a few dodgy impressions of the Queen and Prince Charles.

Simon, along with Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams gave him four red buzzers, ending his audition.
However, the 57-year-old got through to the next round after they let him continue his performance, which left the audience and the judges in hysterics.

While Alesha, Amanda and David changed their minds about him and put him through, Simon refused to budge.
David told him: "I actually thought it was really funny. I thought it was funny because it was the least accurate impressions I’d ever heard.”

Irshad asked him: "So why the four buzzers?” and David replied: “I didn’t want to see you suffer up there. I know what it’s like. It gets tough when people are not enjoying it.”
But he said: "I was enjoying it anyway" and so the judges let him continue his act which led to him getting three yes votes.
