During the audition, the four girls claimed to be from Moscow and had traveled to the UK for the show. But as it turned out, the women were actually American residents and performers in the famous Cirque de Soleil show in Las Vegas. They had performed thousands of times.

This scandal caused people to question whether or not Britain’s Got Talent was staged. To prove that it was not, Simon Cowell had to kick the contortionists off the show, along with a few other acts.

In response to the axings, an insider said, “A lot of the acts who are in the semi-finals are genuine performers looking for their first big break rather than ‘Second Chance Charlies’”.
