BRITAIN’s Got Talent faces another fix row as a Japanese magician has auditioned on the franchise in three other countries.
A preview of Saturday night’s show has revealed Japanese street magician Keiichi Iwasaki inviting judge Alesha Dixon to assist him in a mind-blowing illusion.
Taking direction from Keiichi, Alesha raises one finger and holds it in place while he shows off a ring.
Walking away from her he mysteriously says: “This ring, your finger.”
With a flick of his hand the ring starts to spin at speed in the air.
Simon Cowell looks a bit terrified, but Keiichi’s ring continues to hover through the air towards Alesha and the audience are transfixed.
The ring lands on Alesha’s finger as Keiichi lets out a scream and the audience erupt.
Despite his impressive display, BGT faces yet another fix row as Keiichi is not stranger to the talent show franchise.

He has auditioned for the show three other countries, including Italy in 2016, Bulgaria in 2021 and Spain in 2019 where he made it to the semi-finals.
Keiichi also auditioned for Germany’s Das Supertalent last year.
It comes as Greatest Showman singer Loren Allred, who’s already duetted with Michael Buble and toured with Andrea Bocelli stunned the audiences in week one.
Singer Loren, 32, was given a golden buzzer pass to the final by judge Amanda Holden during the premiere instalment of the ITV show.
Amanda’s choice sparked a “fix” row after it was later revealed that Loren was the voice behind The Greatest Showman song Never Enough.
Despite the negativity on social media, Loren took to Instagram yesterday to thank everyone for their kind words after her appearance on stage.
The singer, from New York, travelled all the way to London to audition for the much-loved show.
Loren performed Never Enough from The Greatest Showman and impressed Amanda so much that she was given her golden buzzer.
However many dubbed the competition “unfair” because a professional singer sailed through to the next round.
She previously recorded the vocals for The Greatest Showman.
The star also appeared on The Voice Loren and was mentored by Maroon 5’s Adam Levine
Loren has hit back at the ‘fix row’ in an exclusive chat with The Celeb Report.

But Loren has since defended her experience in the music industry – insisting: “I am an unsigned, independent artist still trying to make a name for myself.”
Britain’s Got Talent continues this Saturday at 8pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
