Fake Britain’s Got Talent audition leaflets mocking immigrants are posted around Bristol
Producers have slammed the 'racist' leaflets and are taking the matter seriously
RACIST and fake Britain's Got Talent leaflets are being handed out urging immigrants to "earn their stay or leave".
The leaflets have been circulating in Bristol city centre where production crews for the hit ITV show have been visiting this week on the hunt for talented acts.
They read: "The Britain's Got Talent production team will be visiting Cabot Circus on Saturday 27th August from 12.00-16.00 looking for a range of fresh, immigrant talent!
"If you are an immigrant, no matter how big or small, and have a talent that you would like to share, then we would love to see you!
"In this post Brexit Special, we are searching for someone with the talent to unite a nation in front of it's (sic) television screens, for a chance to win a full UK citizenship.
"Prove your talent! Earn your stay! Entertain us! Or leave today!"

The leaflet, which carries the show's logo, also has an email address at the bottom which doesn't work.
Pictures of the racist leaflet have been circulating on social media but pranksters have also been leaving them around the popular city.
Production crews for the hit TV show announced last week they would be visiting Weston-super-Mare and Bristol to look for talented acts.
They have now said they will take against the person who created the leaflet according to the Bristol Post.
A spokesman for Britain's Got Talent said: "This leaflet is clearly a fake and has nothing to do with Britain's Got Talent or Thames TV, nor does it represent any of our views.
"We take the unauthorised use of our brand and copyright seriously and will act accordingly against any infringement."
The show will celebrate its tenth anniversary when it returns to screens next year.
It is thought the judges will remain the same, with Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden all returning to the panel.
Serving soldier Richard Jones won the series this year becoming the first ever magician to win the final.
