Britain's Got Talent has come under fire from fans who were left unimpressed by a 'tasteless' news segment spoof, following the recent health scare of news anchor Rageh Omaar.The ITV journalist suffered a medical incident while presenting the News at Ten on Friday evening, causing concern among viewers when he appeared to struggle with his speech.

In an unfortunate coincidence, the next episode of Britain's Got Talent began with a spoof news segment featuring the ITV News logo and anchor Charlene White delivering 'breaking news'.The segment then cut to a mock press conference with judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli being interviewed by children.

Although the segment was intended as a light hearted way to start the show, given the recent events involving Rageh, many fans were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the ITV News logo and took to Twitter to express their displeasure once they realised it was all part of an elaborate skit, reports the Mirror.

One viewer tweeted: "I wish they wouldn't keep doing that fake Breaking News bit on #BritainsGotTalent especially with the stuff that happened with Rageh Omaar yesterday #bgt," while another added: "A bit distasteful to start #BGT with a itv news after last night." Another fan even admitted to worrying about the Royal family given the recent news concerning King Charles and Kate Middleton's respective cancer diagnoses.

Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson placed in conservatorship following dementia diagnosis
place the musician under a conservatorship in February after the Beach Boys co-founder was diagnosed with dementia, Fox News Digital confirmed.The diagnosis, coupled with the recent passing of Brian’s wife, Melinda Wilson, led his family and doctors to make the decision.“I find from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gus T. May said at the brief hearing.The judge said that evidence shows that Wilson consents to the arrangement and lacks the capacity to make health care decisions.His longtime representatives, Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard, were appointed as his conservators.In February, when his family initially sought the conservatorship, they released a statement to Fox News Digital, saying, “Following the passing of Brian’s beloved wife Melinda, after careful consideration and consultation among Brian, his seven children, Gloria Ramos and Brian’s doctors (and consistent with family processes put in place by Brian and Melinda), we are confirming that longtime Wilson family representatives LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers will serve as Brian’s co-conservators of the person.”Before her death, Melinda provided Brian with his “daily living needs,” involving “physical health, food, clothing, or shelter,” according to a court document obtained by Fox News Digital.In his advance health care directive, Melinda was named as his agent for healthcare — but there was not a successor put in place before her death.
