Britain’s Got Talent viewers are still reeling after an invisible ghost visited the show and hypnotized Amanda Holden.
The 51-year old presenter joked: “It’s always me,”She was persuaded by The Phantom to join her on stage as The Phantom began its new series in spooky style.
Amanda was visibly shaken when the red balloon that she was holding burst abruptly during the creepy trick. It was a similar horror movie It.
The radio host was wearing a bold pink latex dress and was not surprised when the ghost menacingly murmured: “They thought it was a gust of wind. It wasn’t. It was me, I stole it.”
The unseen spectre appeared after the balloon was popped. “You might think it was rather mean to burst a balloon like that, but losing things is an important part of life.”
Some viewers were shocked by the ghoulish routine, but online speculation began that someone connected to the show might be behind it.
“Me wondering if the ghostly magician on #bgt is @StephenMulhern,”One fan on Twitter pondered this.
“@StephenMulhern is the invisible guy on #BGt calling it early and look forward to being shown to be completely wrong in due course,”One joked about another.
“@BGT Phantom has to be Stephen Mulhern #BGT”A third viewer agreed.
“Anyone else thinking the invisible man act was @StephenMulhern #BGT” a fourth fan wondered.
“Why do I think the Phantom is Stephen Mulhern,”You may ask another.
It’s unclear why fans are so convinced that Stephen has been spooking up a storm, but many viewers still miss his spin-off show, Britain’s Got More Talent, which was axed in 2019.
Some fans vented online this weekend about the show’s cancellation.
One of them said: “Britain’s Got More Talent will always be the more superior show. Bring it back!”
A second: “Why isn’t Britain’s Got More Talent on TV anymore? What a stupid move.”
Another said: “Britain’s Got Talent is nothing without Stephen Mulhern. He’s so funny on In For A Penny.”
Simon Cowell has previously spoken Silver Screen Beats: “It’s a shame and when it was decided they weren’t going to do the ITV2 version I think the consensus among the boys and judges was this is a massive gap.
