Many believe the creepy character is none other than former BGT spin-off host and noted magician Stephen Mulhern.

And as several fans pointed out he was mentioned - in not entirely complimentary terms - just moments before the witch came on stage.

He was the subject of a joke by singer Honey Scott who made a joke about him not being part of the show any more.

Stephen, as well as being a TV presenter, is also one of Britain's most skilled magicians and was the youngster person admitted to the Magic Circle.

The act began with the witch appearing on stage, stomping down the steps and handing out apples to each of the judges in turn.

When it came to Amanda the witch held her wrist and one hand and a gnarled stick in the other.

They cackled: "Do you know why they say beauty's only skin deep? Because we're all rotten to the core."

A third hand then shot out of the witch's black cloak and grabbed the apple in Amanda's palm.

It then exploded into a collection of cockroaches and mealworms, which wriggled and crawled around the judges' desk.

While Amanda, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams all leapt up from the judging desk, Simon Cowell stayed in his seat looking dumbstruck.
