Game of Talents viewers are convinced they’ve rumbled magic trick’s ‘fake’ prop – but did you spot it?

GAME of Talents viewers are convinced they’ve spotted a fake hand used in a magic trick.

Vernon Kay, 47, presented another episode of the ITV game show tonight, which sees contestants try to guess the talents of a member of the public based on clues given to them.

British radio and television presenter Clara Amfo and her teammate Matt went up against fellow television and radio presenter Nick Grimshaw and his teammate Sue.

Chris took to the stage and after both pairs had a stab at guessing his talent, it turned out he was a magician.

He performed a magic act with the help of an assistant, but fans believe they spotted a blunder.

A hand could be seen holding a curtain in place, but viewers think they used a fake one.

One viewer slammed: “That was blatantly a fake hand holding the curtain #GameOfTalents.”

Another fan wrote: “Fake hand & Twins #GameOfTalents,” with the latter referring to another act on tonight’s show.

While a third fan added: “Fake hand klaxon #GameOfTalents.”

Clara and Matt guessed his talent correctly and after choosing a money ball, £10,000 was added to their prize pot.

Matt and Clara made it to the final round and walked away with an impressive £36,000.

Vernon hosted another episode of the ITV game show


It was announced back in January that Vernon would host the new ITV Saturday night show, which replaced Britain’s Got Talent.

The move is his first major deal since coming third in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! last year.

A source said: “Vernon may not have won I’m A Celeb but from day one he was the star of the show — likeable, warm and really down to earth.

“Vern hasn’t been on ITV primetime since Family Fortunes six years ago, so it feels like now is the perfect time to bring him back into the fold.”
