A seemingly sweet and innocent couple have shocked the crowed at their America’s Got Talent audition, after they turned up the heat with a raunchy dance routine to Jason Derulo’s ‘Talk Dirty To Me’.

Married couple Celina, 64, and Filiberto, 70, performed a racy routine, which left some viewers fascinated by the saucy couple and others uncomfortable about their dirty dancing.

Their performance started with the loved-up couple standing on the stage hand-in-hand and giving each other a kiss on the lips. But the cute gesture was just a preview because moments later, the pair began their eccentric routine, which consisted of grinding, bumping and some altogether raunchy moves.

At one point, Celina even started to twerk, which earned a response from AGT judge, comedian Howie Mandel who exclaimed during their routine: “She’s twerking!” And Filiberto even nuzzled up to Celina’s chest while the well-known pop song played in the background.

Unfortunately, the couple’s dance routine was a little too much for some, including former Spice Girl Mel B, who at times, couldn’t even look at the couple’s routine.

But viewers were quick to praise the couple on social media, with one viewer commenting, “I definitely was not expecting to see this, but I’m glad they’re so happy together”. Another added, “I hope my spouse and I can do that at that age. Just saying. Kudos to them both!”

The show’s host, model Tyra Banks even said after the performance: “Now, that’s the love I’m looking for.”

But many viewers complained the dance routine was hugely inappropriate for a family program that had young children both performing on the show and watching at home.

“This is a family show, and this is totally inappropriate,” one commentator wrote.

It’s not the first time this week a raunchy act has appeared on a family talent show. A male strip group appeared on Britain’s Got Talent at the weekend, which left viewers disgusted at what they called “double standards”, arguing a performance by female strippers would never be allowed on prime time TV.
