A man named Robert Aslanyan has recently filed a lawsuit against the makers of the popular talent show, Britain's Got Talent. He claims that his audition, which he traveled to Cardiff with his family and technical assistants for, was canceled without prior notice, causing him to lose out on a potential £250,000 cash prize.
Robert, who is a singer and keyboard player, had planned to perform a song he wrote in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. He even contacted the Queen's office for blessings and received a letter of appreciation in return. However, upon arriving at the venue, he was informed by security guards that the auditions had been canceled due to the Covid pandemic.
Feeling dejected and disappointed, Robert decided to take legal action against Fremantle Media Ltd, the production company behind BGT. He is seeking a whopping £85 million in compensation, claiming that he lost a lucrative music and marketing contract due to the canceled audition.
According to Robert, he had signed a contract with a company called LTOE Trade to promote his work as a musical project called Britannia, Britannia. However, as the contract required him to perform his song in front of the BGT judges and audience, the cancellation of his audition caused the deal to fall through.
Despite being offered another chance to audition in the following year, the opportunity was also canceled due to the political situation at the time. Robert's lawsuit also includes compensation for the cost of his trip to Cardiff and even a £66 Tesco bill for provisions to feed his entourage.
However, the production company's lawyer has denied any responsibility, stating that up to 10,000 people apply for BGT each series, with only a small percentage making it to the next stage. He also mentioned that Robert had applied for the show multiple times in the past, attending three open auditions out of five.
The dispute is yet to reach court, and a trial date has not been set. In the meantime, representatives for BGT and Fremantle Media Ltd have been contacted for comment. It remains to be seen how this legal battle will unfold.
