Diversity's BGT Routine Nominated for Bafta TV Award After 24,500 Complaints

Diversity's controversial performance on Britain's Got Talent, which sparked thousands of complaints, has been nominated for the must-see moment award at the Bafta TV Awards. The routine, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, featured Ashley Banjo being knelt on by a police officer, referencing George Floyd's murder.

Ofcom received 24,500 complaints about the segment but ruled that it did not breach broadcasting guidelines. Banjo said the group 'wanted to express how the events of this year have made us feel.' The winner will be decided by public vote, with voting open until 17:00 BST on 24 May.

Other nominees include scenes from Bridgerton, EastEnders, Gogglebox, Nigella Lawson's cooking show, and The Mandalorian. The ceremony, hosted by Richard Ayoade, will take place on 6 June at an undisclosed venue.
