People are upset with a performance on Britain's Got Talent that was deemed offensive and insensitive to the Titanic tragedy.

The recent episode of Britain's Got Talent has stirred up quite a controversy with one of its acts. Drag performer Chantaaaal's audition, which aired on Saturday, has received backlash from angry fans and has even been hit with Ofcom complaints. The performer dressed up as the Titanic and sang Celine Dion's iconic song, "My Heart Will Go On."

While fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Bruno Tonioli were left howling with laughter, Simon Cowell seemed to be taken aback by the act. However, viewers at home had a different reaction, labeling Chantaaaal's performance as "distasteful". Ofcom has received a total of 78 complaints regarding the act.

One viewer, Jodie, expressed her outrage on Twitter, questioning how the act was approved for television. She emphasized the fact that the Titanic was a tragic event where people lost their lives and it should not be turned into a joke. Another user, Robyn, also shared the same sentiment, calling the act "SUPER distasteful."

On the other hand, some viewers rushed to defend Chantaaaal and praised their act. One user, Lee, even declared it as their favorite audition of the year. However, the majority seemed to agree with the criticism, stating that it was in bad taste to make a joke out of a tragedy where over 1500 people lost their lives.

Amanda echoed the same sentiment, questioning the appropriateness of making a joke out of a tragic event. Nicola, another viewer, pointed out that the sinking of the Titanic was a human catastrophe and not something to be laughed about. It seemed like the act had divided Britain's Got Talent viewers, with some finding it humorous while others found it offensive.

Despite the backlash and complaints, Chantaaaal received praise from all four judges. Simon even called it a first, as no one had ever sang, acted as the boat, iceberg, and ocean all at once. Bruno and Alesha were left in stitches, describing the act as "genius." Amanda, who kicked off the four yes's, couldn't stop laughing and called human beings "nuts" in the best way possible.

The Titanic tragedy, which took place in 1912, has been immortalized in the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It resulted in the loss of over 1500 lives out of the 2240 passengers and crew on board. Britain's Got Talent continues tonight at 8pm on ITV1.
