Britain’s Got Talent comedian makes 'vicious' botox dig at Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon

Comedian Jack Carroll took a swipe at Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon during his 'vicious' act.

Twenty-year-old Jack, who was a runner-up on the seventh series of Britain’s Got Talent back in 2013, returned to the stage for BGT : The Champions - and he caused shockwaves when he ripped into Amanda and Alesha's appearance.

"Six years since I’ve been on the show, I look six years older," Jack said. "Which is funny because Amanda and Alesha look 10 years younger."

"I'll take that," said Amanda, flipping her hair. But Jack wasn't finished.

"I’m sure they would frown at that joke but the botox won’t allow it," he quipped.

"I’ve never had it!" Alesha fired back quickly. "Sorry."

Backstage hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly gasped and Ant said: "Cheeky."

After his performance on the ITV talent contest had ended Alesha told Amanda: "I don’t remember him being so vicious the last time."

"‘I know I love it," Amanda replied.

Jack also made a jibe at head judge Simon Cowell's pearly white teeth while using his life with cerebral palsy as comedy ammunition.

Recalling his attempt at learning to ski he joked: "Luckily, the goggles still came in handy when I had to look at Simon Cowell’s teeth up close."

"I love it when you rip into us and you're naughty because that's who you are," said Simon.

And Amanda said: "You were particularly acerbic tonight and I loved it."
