‘I knew you were low’: Britain’s Got Talent controversy hits a new level

While Britain's Got Talent is touted as wholesome family fun, the annual show rarely comes without its controversy, and this year is no different.

The latest act to hit headlines for all the wrong reasons is the uber-talented Boogie Storm who rose through the ranks at Jennifer Ellison's Liverpool dance school.

Outraged that her protégés have been dubbed 'talentless' by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, the former Brookside actress defended the troupe on Twitter in a highly emotional post this week.

They're ludicrous Jennifer, a bit like you. > RT @Jelliofficial: @piersmorgan pic.twitter.com/tlWUSjEyzJ

"Just fot the record my dancers Boogiestorm are not talentless, they are WORLD CHAMPION DANCERS who have just been given the accolade of representing their country in the Dance World Cup being voted best group to represent team England," she wrote.

"They are far from 'thick' which is why when you asked them to punch you 'to make good telly' just before going on, they declined," Jennifer raged. "They are very respectful young dancers who have their own setbacks and back stories."

"The storm trooper who flips on stage, broke his back a few years ago, another at 21 years of age suffers from Cystic Fibrosis which is an inspiration and achievement in itself to be able to not only be a world champion but dance in suits which are virtually impossible to walk in."

Making reference to the Hillsborough tragedy, Jennifer then went on to slam the controversial host's decision to 'parade a copy of The Sun' in front of the troupe, finishing: "I knew you were low from your phone hacking days however today you have stopped to another level."

And in classic Piers style, he refused to acknowledge Jennifer's points, merely responding: "They're ludicrous Jennifer, a bit like you."

Jeez Piers, why the hate?
