During an episode of Britain’s Got Talent, Simon Cowell received a harsh joke from an 11-year-old member of the Boycanto group, who was auditioning for the judges.
The boys performed a fantastic version of the song ‘Revolting Children’ from the musical Matilda but before their performance,
Harrison took a playful jab at Simon Cowell, who was one of the judges on the panel.
Harrison informed the judges that the group aims to encourage boys to participate in singing, dancing, and acting and that they hail from various parts of England.
Simon Cowell was left feeling embarrassed as a result of the quip.
After Simon snapped his fingers in response, Harrison made a clever comment: “Simon, you should remember that it’s not just about the money!”
This witty statement caused both the audience and the other judges to burst into laughter.
Simon received the joke in the light-hearted spirit it was intended, and responded by saying, “I completely agree!”
The Boycanto group then proceeded to perform exceptionally well and earned four yeses from the judges.
Simon praised them by saying, “You guys are revolting, and that’s a good thing.”
He then jokingly added, “Keep up the bad behavior in the future.” Alesha also praised the group, noting that her daughter is a fan of Matilda and that children would love their passionate and energetic performance.
Bruno echoed his fellow judges’ remarks, saying: “You’re so bad, and I love it!”
And Amanda said their singing was “really, really good.”
Both the performance and Harrison’s cheeky attitude went down a treat with viewers at home as well.
“Well done Boycanto that was brilliant and full of energy as well!”, another said.
“Boycanto …. I love this and makes a change!”, a third added.
