Britain's Got Talent fans were left feeling uncomfortable after watching a mother and son on tonight's live semi-finals.

Melanie Bell and Jamie Gilpin took to the stage to perform Miley Cyrus hit the Climb.

While their vocals were flawless, some tuning in at home questioned why the pair had chosen to sing a love song to one another.

Meanwhile, others wondered why the two opted to hold hands as they belted out the track.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "A guy that age singing and holding hands with his mummy on stage is just too cringeworthy to watch (also not great singing at all) BGT."

Another then commented: "Bit weird mother and son singing a love song together looking longingly into each others eyes. @BGT."

Shortly afterwards, another fan tweeted: "Feeling so uncomfortable watching BGT with this lad and his mam holding hands practically necking on."

Despite the negative comments surrounding the mother and son's closeness, others were quick to praise the pair's performance.

"Well done to @mel_jamie_BGT they brought tears to my eyes #MelandJamie," gushed one fan.
