Hundreds of viewers complained to Ofcom after a fire stunt on the premiere of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent.

The talent show series, judged by Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli returned last week on Saturday, April 15. During the debut episode of the new series, professional stuntman Thomas Vu covered himself in a fire-retardant gel before being set on fire..

While engulfed in flames, Thomas then started solving a Rubix Cube, much to the amazement of the Britain’s Got Talent judges. On Wednesday (April 19) Ofcom revealed it had received 334 complaints after the episode aired.
