Dareen, the waving goat from White Post Farm near Nottingham, England, has declined an offer to appear at live auditions for the show.
As Anthony Moore, Darren’s spokesperson, told This Is Nottingham, ”They want Darren to appear on stage in front of Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden. Sure, we’d get good press out of it, but it’s a long way for a goat to travel for a five-minute trick,” he said.
“It’s not our thing – it goes against the animal welfare standards we’ve set here. Making him wave in front of thousands of people would not be right for Darren.
“Also, we don’t even know if he would do the trick outside of the context of his pen. We’ve therefore said ‘thanks but no thanks’.”
It’s a sad day for television but just another day of gesticulation for Darren.
