The editors are having their work cut out for them!
Britain’s Got Talent auditions are taking place at the moment, with lead judge Simon Cowell reportedly getting “savagely heckled” at recent auditions in Blackpool.
As the editors are now going through the footage of the auditions and trying to piece the show together, apparently they’re having a hard time editing out all the boos directed towards Simon Cowell.
The music mogul has built up a persona over the years as a tough critic, and even given the nickname “Mr Nasty” for his harsh feedback.
According to The Sun, during the Britain's Got Talent auditions in Blackpool, yells of “You old fart” could be heard from the audience whenever the judge criticised any of the performers.

However, it looks like Cowell saw the funny side.
“Simon isn’t vain in that way and found the heckling absolutely hilarious — even when they were calling him an old fart," a source told The Sun.
They continued to say that he "loves" the Blackpool crowd and knows he "might be on the receiving end" of their jibes. “He even encourages them to misbehave, even if sometimes the misbehaviour can cause a headache for the production team," the source continued. Although they assured that the producers also had a "good laugh" at Simon's expense.
