On Saturday night’s finale of BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT, judge, Simon Cowell, got a nasty surprise when a former contestant ran up on stage and threw eggs at him!
This may sound like a bizarre prank, but in actuality it was a woman’s attempt at a protest against Simon Cowell. Natalie Holt ran on stage halfway through a performance by Richard and Adam Johnson and began chucking raw eggs at Simon with a big smile on her face before she dragged away by security.
Simon was unharmed, but his jacket was pretty much spoiled and the incident was not mentioned during the remainder of the show. Richard and Adam Johnson, whose operatic rendition of “The Impossible Dream” was interrupted by Holt, didn’t miss a beat and continued with their flawless performance as if nothing had happened.
Natalie Holt later discussed her motives for the attack and said, “I basically took a stand against people miming on television and against Simon and his dreadful influence on the music industry.”
Though police were called at the time, no criminal charges have been placed and Holt even went on to say that she was sorry for interrupting Richard and Adam’s performance and that, in retrospect, her stunt “was a silly thing to do.”
