BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans have called for a junior spin-off after Saturday’s show.
Several viewers suggested the show should do a children’s version after several younger acts appeared on the show’s famous stage.
Among them were nine-year-old magician Ryland Petty, who left Amanda Holden speechless with his routine.
Viewers also got to see the talents of seven-year-old Skylar Blu, who danced to Leona Lewis‘ Footprints in the Sand.
Some thought the time was right for a junior version of the show, in the same fashion as The Voice: Kids.
One wrote: “They really should have a separate Kids #BGT.”

Another wrote: “#BGT should try do a kid’s bgt as when it comes to the knockout stage how upset the kids will be when they get knocked out.”
Another suggested an easier move might be to rename the existing show “Children’s Got Talent”.
Ryland wowed the judges with his ‘Harry Potter’ magic trick using a set of Rubik Cubes.
Fans of the ITV show watched as the youngster invited Amanda Holden onto the stage and explained that he had a box full of pieces of paper with different emotions written on it.

Ryland asked her to pick one out and then passed her a Rubik’s Cube to mix up randomly.
As Amanda sat down and got on with the task at hand, Ryland invited his pals from The Magic Circle Young Magicians’ Club to come on stage with their own individual Rubik’s Cubes to do the same.
Ryland then asked everyone to put their cubes into a stand and when Amanda revealed the word she’d picked was ‘Love’, he turned it around to show they had created a red heart.
Finishing the act with a final flourish, Ryland used his hands to create a plume of smoke on the table and swiped the cloth away to present the word ‘LOVE’ to the audience.
As he bowed to a standing ovation, Simon confessed: “I’m speechless. That was unbelievable, seriously unbelievable,’ the media mogul began.
“What was so weird was we were kidding about Harry Potter movie and then it was like a Harry Potter movie on that stage. That was magic.”
