The VT shown shortly before Honey G’s performance also sparked debate online, thanks to the fact it featured the hopeful dubbing herself “the UK’s best rapper”.

Honey G has consistently hit headlines during her time on the show, and ahead of Saturday’s programme, she hit back at critics who have suggested her act is racist, by saying she’s being discriminated against because she’s white.

“Any allegations of me being racist are completely false. All that stuff to do with me attacking black culture is utterly ridiculous,” she said. “I’ve never said anything racist or behaved in that way, just because I’m pushing music from a black origin doesn’t mean I’m attacking black culture.”
