Britain's Got Talent has been hit by fakery claims amid reports show bosses secretly created acts from scratch.
According to The Sun producers pitch ideas for potential viral auditions complete with scripts, music suggestions and lines for the judges to say.
One example claims show bosses attempted to recreate the hype around 2022's terrifying magic act The Witch and approached freelance actorAndrew Fletcher to take on the role of last year's Scary Clown.
A source said: 'Scouting for talent on shows is nothing new but to actually be creating acts out of thin air is ridiculous'.
'The Witch went down so well that bosses wanted to recreate the hype. They thought playing on Simon's clown phobia would be ideal so pulled ideas together'.

Saturday saw the talent showbe involved yet again in another fix row as enraged fans called out professional singer Taryn Charles.
The special education teacher, 39, was branded the show's 'best ever' Golden Buzzer act after Bruno Toniolisent her through to the semi-finals following her incredible performance.
Shealso revealed she had previously met Simon when she was just 15 years old,when he worked at a record label near her home and claimed she told him of her dream.
But some viewers were left very unimpressed, rushing on X to remark that Taryn is already a professional singer - therefore making 'unfair' the competition for amateur talents.
'Yet again another professional singer?? Taryn Charles. What has happened to #BGT?,' commented one person.
'Taryn Charles is already a professional singer, so you would expect her to have a good voice. Not fair on all the amateurs #BGT,' a second echoed.
