BRITAIN'S Got Talent fans have been mounting a witch hunt – literally – ever since a magical crone appeared on Saturday's show.
Now, internet sleuths reckon they've struck on exactly who is behind the character by studying celebrity faces.

Others claimed the character could be Amanda's old friend Keith Lemon in one of his disguises.
