If you watched Britain's Got Talent at the weekend, you are probably saying the same thing. Viewers have urged for a dramatic TV change - but could it ever work?

Fans of the ITV talent contest are calling for a spin-off just for kids following Saturday's show where younger acts wowed the crowds including nine-year-old magician Ryland Petty and seven-year-old dancer Skylar Blu who melted hearts with her Leona Lewis' Footprints in the Sand audition.

Simon said after the young magician's moment on stage: "I’m speechless. That was unbelievable, seriously unbelievable.

"What was so weird was we were kidding about a Harry Potter movie and then it was like a Harry Potter movie on that stage. That was magic."

One viewer wrote on Twitter: "They really should have a separate Kids #BGT."

Another penned: "#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."

A third added: "More kids? Really need a kids version of #BGT & have 16 & over on the main show."

One fan commented: "There should a separate #bgt for the kids."

"Don't think there should be kids under 16 on, think they should have a kids show?" suggested another.

What do you think? BGT junior?
