Britain’s Got More Talent 2018: Max Branning features on show in cruel EastEnders twist
EASTENDERS legend Max Branning “featured” on tonight’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent spin-off Britain’s Got More Talent in a cruel Stephen Mulhern twist over on ITV2.
Stephen was using his relentless dry wit on Courtney from Stoke-on-Trent when he made the comparison.
The Chinese buffet restaurant waiter was compared to the notorious villain on EastEnders.
Stephen looked directly down the camera and reminded viewers: “No, it’s not Max Branning.”
Viewers instantly took to social media following the comparison.
One fan tweeted: “‘No it's not Max Branning’ #bgmt.”
“@StephenMulhern has me crying with laughter #BGMT better than @BGT,” posted another.
A third added: “Love @StephenMulhern on #BGMT just #brilliant so so funny he needs that GOLDEN BUZZER,”
“@ITV2_BGMT why does @StephenMulhern not have a wax figure in Madame Tussaud’s? #BGMT,” questioned another.
A fifth added: “When Stephen Mulhern is 85 years of age and presenting Strictly you’ll be able to say you can remember him from years ago when he presented Britain’s got more talent. He is a showbiz legend of the future! #BGMT.”
“Haha love it when Stephen picks up the phone and like shows you it not real. #lostthewill #moretalent #BGMT,” laughed another.

No, it’s not Max Branning
While some saw the Max Branning comparison, others viewers had their own ideas.
One viewer tweeted: “Not gonna lie this guy reminds me a bit of @realjoeswash #BGMT.”
“@StephenMulhern is to f**king funny on #bgmt. He has me in absolute stitches,” wrote another.
It comes after fans saw Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer act leave judge Amanda Holden “a mess”.
Jack, 12, and dad Tim, 43, a father-and-son singing duo from Norfolk, Norwich, took to the stage to showcase their talents.

Performing their original titled The Lucky Ones, Jack explained: “It’s about how lucky we are to have what we have.”
Following the performance, the teary judging panel gave a standing ovation, as presenter Declan Donnelly clutched his heart in awe.
An emotional Simon then grabbed his microphone and said: “Tim, Jack, this says it all!” and smashed the golden buzzer.
Amanda Holden then said: “I was a mess throughout the whole thing! It was an amazing golden buzzer.”
Britain’s Got More Talent continues next Saturday on ITV2 at 9.20pm.
