One Britain's Got Talent contestant has sparked quite a number of complaints over their set on the show's latest semi-final.
Comedian Allan Finnegan took to the stage over the weekend, the vicar sharing a number of quips about death, funerals and his family.
However, the "tasteless" dark jokes do not seem to have gone down well with viewers, with Ofcom confirming to Digital Spy that they received 90 complaints about the set, and a total of 303 complaints for the episode.

Among Finnegan's jokes was a quip about forgetting the name of a person whose funeral he was presiding over, while another saw him joke about his uncle passing away and relief at not having to get him a Secret Santa gift.
Meanwhile, most of the conversation around Britain's Got Talent in the past week or so has been dominated by Diversity's Black Lives Matter-themed performance during the first semi-final.

However, Britain's Got Talent have come out in support of the performance, saying in a statement this week: "Britain's Got Talent has always been an inclusive show, which showcases diversity and supports strong storytelling in all forms and ITV stands behind the decision to broadcast Diversity's performance on BGT.
"Ashley and the group are a great example of the talent, creativity and diversity of modern Britain and their performance was an authentic, heartfelt response to many of the issues and events which have affected society in 2020."
The Britain's Got Talent semi-finals continue on Saturday evenings on ITV.
