BGT fans traumatised and sick over ‘most dangerous and disgusting’ act in the show’s history
BRITAIN’s Got Talent viewers were left horrified as they witnessed the ‘most dangerous and disgusting’ act in the show’s 16-year history.
Massage therapist Andrew Stanton, who remained silent throughout his audition, gestured to Amanda Holden, 52, to join him on stage for the most nail-biting part of his stunt on Saturday night’s show.
The Heart radio presenter lay down in front of the stuntman as he threaded a huge sword down his throat.
In a ghastly twist with paramedics on standby, Andrew attached two ropes onto a belt on Amanda’s waist before hooking the ends onto his eyeballs and picking up the judge.
Amanda said: “I only saw the first part of your act because believe me I had my eyes shut for the rest of it.
“I have been doing this show for 16 years and we have never seen anything like it.”
Simon Cowell added: “I say this as a compliment – it was the most disgusting thing in the history of Got Talent.”
After receiving four yeses, host Declan Donnelly, 47, said: “I talked to one of the guys backstage who said this is one of the most dangerous things we have ever had on Britain’s Got Talent.”
Those watching at home were equally as disgusted, with one person writing: “L’ill bit traumatised by #BGT if I’m honest.”
A second said: “That guy made me feel physically sick, don’t think it’s appropriate at all #BGT”
While a third added:” #BGT going way too far, that sword act wasn’t talent, felt physically sick and had to pause so I could fast forward , gross out TV.”
