Fans were not impressed by the X Factor final last night

The X Factor final took place last night.

If you have not watched it and intend to, then don't read on because there are spoilers ahead. However, for those that did watch it, you'll know that Dalton Harris came out victorious, beating Scarlett Lee and Anthony Russell. Everyone was chuffed that Dalton won, and fans were even more so buzzing for Louis Tomlinson, who mentored the singer. The one thing that viewers found absolutely bonkers though was the opening performance of the show. A skit at the beginning saw Simon Cowell's son Eric 'take over' the show and grant permission for the South Korean song Baby Shark to be the opening act. Many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on it, and they weren't all that amused:

Fucking hell, X factor have clearly spent too much money on the weeks leading up to the final so they only thing they could afford were people in shark costumes dancing to baby shark???#xfactorfinal pic.twitter.com/IrHIgO80l4
