Ashley Banjo says his Black Lives Matter-inspired dance surprised onlookers at the dress rehearsal – but he was given ITV’s full support.

Diversity’s Britain’s Got Talent performance, which featured a dancer playing a white police officer kneel on Banjo, sparked over 24,000 complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom.

Banjo told GQ Hype: “I don’t think I’ve had anything but full support from the production company and ITV. “I’ve done a lot of work with ITV, so they trust me creatively. “I said to them on the phone that week before, ‘This is what I think I’m going to do’.

And they were great with it. That’s really important. “They didn’t say anything until we turned up on the day. We turned up and we rehearsed.

Ed Sheeran’s and Taylor Swift’s ‘Joker and the Queen’ Video Reunites Kid Cast From 2012’s ‘Everything Has Changed’

Chris Willman Music WriterTaylor Swift has been generous lately about jumping on as a featured artist for duet versions of some of her BFFs’ existing tracks. She did it last year by joining a remix of Haim’s “Gasoline,” and she’s doing it now, in a higher-profile way, by lending not just her voice but some new lyrics to Ed Sheeran’s romantic ballad “The Joker and the Queen.”It may officially be his track, but the music video that accompanies it is a sequel to another duet of theirs that went out under her official imprimatur 10 years ago, 2012’s “Everything Has Changed,” and reunites Ava and Jack, the boy and girl who flirted with and befriended one another as preteens, now grown up and gone to college, with the same actors.
