Simon Cowell?s Britain?s Got Talent came to an egg-citing conclusion on Saturday night.

The ITV show was won by Hungarian shadow dance troupe Attraction, but it was during the performance of third place Welsh singing brothers Richard and Adam Johnson that a woman raced on stage and started pelting judges Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams with eggs.

It later came to light that the woman was Natalie Holt, a member of the Johnsons? backing group.

She was summarily pulled off stage and an ITV spokesperson later told Digital Spy, ?As a result of her misguided actions the police were called.

However, we have decided to take no further action at this stage.? Holt later apologized, but then told The Telegraph: ?I basically took a stand against people miming on television and against Simon and his dreadful influence on the music industry.?

Ratings for the live final peaked at 13.1M for a 57% share and had an average rating of 11.1M viewers from 7:30-10 PM.

Here?s video of the incident; the pelting starts at the 1:49 mark:

Good. I severely dislike all these faux talent shoowes. Two reasons: people with genuine talent rarely show up (when they do, they fail for not putting on a show) and (and due to that) critics (a despicable folk in and of itself) mostly come about as arrogant fscks. Boo.

People can hate X-Factor all they want, they can hate on Cowell, the fact that some feel there's no real talent here whatsoever. Doesn't matter - these shows are clearly not for you. You care about them and are talking about them, they don't even recognise your existence.

You are from the UK, yet you say "hate on"?

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
