Elsewhere fans accused a contestant of wearing a ‘fake blindfold’ as he swung a hammer inches from Simon Cowell’s head during Saturday’s episode.
In tense scenes, the sledgehammer-wielding entertainer Kranthi asked the 65-year-old judge to be his volunteer to help him out during the audition.
Simon was told to lie down and keep very still, while the crew and warned him of how important that it was for him to not move as ‘things could go wrong’.
Kranthi then put on a blindfold, before he blindly smashed some watermelons placed by Simon’s head with the giant sledgehammer.
However, some viewers were left less than impressed and claimed there was ‘no way’ that the contestants blindfold was real as they pointed out it looked very thin.
They posted on X: ‘There is no way that hammer swinging idiot could not see’; ‘People must realise it is a fake blindfold’; ‘It’s almost as if the blindfold was see-through… …oh wait!.’
