Viggo Venn on Britain's Got Talent

And surprise, surprise, sour-faced Simon Cowell doesn't get it

Simon Cowell again proved he doesn’t get unconventional comedy acts on last night’s Britain’s Got Talent.

The judge looked sour-faced as Norwegian clown Viggo Venn performed his high-energy routine based on stripping away various levels of hi-vis jacket.

As the crowd hollered ‘we want more’,  Cowell looked increasingly pained.

‘Don’t do this to me,’ he grumbled before pressing his buzzer.

Hosts Ant and Dec even joined Venn on stage to extend the joke, as Cowell looked increasingly pained.

And at the end of the routine, Amanda Holden  said it was ‘amazing’.
