Viewers called out a "fix" as Harry Moulding pulled off an elaborate wedding proposal - resulting in a Golden Buzzer from KSI.
Not all viewers were convinced of the moment's authenticity - and shared their thoughts online.
Jess, who was proposed to, is a TikTok star with more than 80,000 followers on the platform.
A fan wrote under one of her recent posts: "Hope you're ok after the backlash.
"Hope you both know the general public just hate on everything."
To which Jess replied: "Some comments have really made me laugh. I was in on my own proposal apparently, madness.
"I'm in a complete bubble of shock and happiness and nothing can bring me down from cloud 9."
A pre-recorded VT in Paris saw Harry Moulding predict a proposal - and he met another lad named Harry.
Jess - the other Harry's girlfriend - was sat in the BGT audience and was "randomly" chosen to get up on stage and play the pre-recorded video.
Her partner then appeared on stage in the Hammersmith auditorium andgot down on one knee.
Britain's Got Talent fix row erupts as magic act is called 'biggest set up ever' after live marriage proposal
Jess was left in tears as she said 'yes', leaving the judges and the presenters on their feet.
But people at home were very suspicious over the "trick" and branded it a "set up".
One said: "It was very obvious that the fiancee was in on the trick. He did not bring in an engagement ring randomly. So this seat number was forced.
"Was Jessie also in on it? I'd like to believe she was set up for a romantic surprise, but she specified Paris, so I think she was a plant. The other seat numbers appear to also be plants."
Another wrote: "There were no tricks in that performance, every single aspect was clearly staged, no talent or skill involved in any of it.
"It was a complete set up by the show pretending to be an original act from a magician.
Britain's Got Talent's biggest 'fix' rows
Britain's Got Talent has been plagued with 'fix' rows over the years. How many of these do you remember?
Jasmine Elcock - 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher's Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London's West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: "I've performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous."
IrShad Shaikh - 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his act...and put him through to the next round.
Colin Thackery - 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We'll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn't even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan - who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit - should have won.
Axel Blake - 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series.
Taryn Charles - 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year's hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1's Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.
"I know the show takes the p*** a lot but come on, that was complete b******s."
It comes as another BGT star fuelled fix claims after suggesting he was told what to perform in the semi-final.
Meanwhile, fans thought another act should have received KSI's Golden Buzzer instead of Harry Moulding.
Britain's Got Talent airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
