During the Britain’s Got Talent finale, comedian Nabil Abdulrashid couldn’t help but joke about Ofcom complaints and death threats he received after his hearing in the semi-final
Nabil, of Croydon, had the whole jury in stitches in the fifth semi-final – so much so that they picked him to advance to the final
The performance of the comedian, who pushed the boundaries of his race and religion, sparked hundreds of complaints at Ofcom – and as a result, he even received abuse and death threats online

While the dad of two didn’t let it down, he used all of this as material in his final audition
He started his act by holding a fake press conference where he was questioned by journalists (well it was actually Nabil in disguise) about the complaints
He joked that the backlash proved climate change was real, because « how else to explain so many snowflakes in October? »
Joking about the number of complaints he received, he said: « I’m glad we were here, I thought we weren’t going to make it. Lots of complaints, they complained because we have says, Black Lives Matter
« Thousands of complaints, to be honest I’m shocked that many people know how to write »
And he was quick to bring up the death threats, adding: « I don’t care about vegans because they’re the only group of people who don’t threaten me. »
He concluded his act by adding that if he won it would be « the end of White people winning Britain’s Got Talent »
« Because you know what they’re saying, once you go black you never go back, » he joked
After being praised by the judges, Ashley Banjo couldn’t help but respond to Ofcom complaints that Diversity received for her Black Lives Matter routine earlier in the series
« There are two ways you can react, you can bow to the pressure or you can be yourself without any excuse
