BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans have threatened to go to Ofcom after a sickening act left children at home “traumatised”.
This weekend, the ITV competition returned to our screens with a new batch of hopefuls wanting to prove their worth to the BGT judges.

But one act, Auzzy Blood, drew more attention than most with his morbid and sickening stunt routine.
Appearing on stage in gothic make-up, the performer held up giant corkscrews to the audience, before feeding them through his nose and out his mouth.
Amanda Holden was heard screaming “Crikey” and “No!” as the act began, with Alesha Dixon turning away from him and visibly gagging trying not to be sick.
Simon Cowell watched on enamoured, unable to look away, even if he was shocked as he did so.
But things got worse from there, with Auzzy then taking a long piece of tubing, feeding it through his mouth, and flossing it back and forward in front of the horrified judges.
He then handed it to Simon, directing him to drink a blood red liquid from a bottle through it.
Alesha eventually slammed her buzzer, unwilling to take anymore.
For his final act, Auzzy suspended himself on the stage via a hook that went through his mouth and nose.
Waiting for a debrief after finally getting back down to solid ground, Alesha said: “I can’t watch this act, but I can appreciate how good you are.”
“This is one of my favourite acts of the day, genuinely!” countered Simon, with the rest of the judges in agreement, with Amanda calling it “horrifically brilliant”.
Auzzy was then sent through to the next round.
But while the judges were sold, viewers were not, saying it was unsuitable for children and “left them feeling sick”, demanding Ofcom step in for inappropriate content before the 9pm watershed.
Taking to X/Twitter, one fan wrote: “@ofcom will be getting lots of complaints tomorrow from this guy hanging from his nose. My daughters nearly throwing up and I just couldn’t look at all. #bgt no.”
“I’ve sent one, my 6 year old was traumatised poor thing,” said another. “It’s not even 9pm.”
BGT’s Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer’s over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company – Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny – Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
“Seriously @Ofcom What’s on britains got talent tonight should be looked at this is not entertaining kids could be watching this Hooks through face,” said a third.
“I thought Britain’s Got Talent was supposed to be a family friendly show and they got people shoving hooks & tubes through their mouth & nose and almost getting a judge to drink from that same tube?? That’s disgusting to say the least!” noted a fourth.
A fifth said: “I’m going to be one of those ‘I think it’s awful tv but I’ve never watched it’ cos I literally sat looking at my phone while he was sticking hooks wherever he put them”
“That is an absolute NO for me,” said a sixth. “I personally believe the fact you came onto a show like this and stuck hooks through your nose is morally repugnant and totally out of keeping with a family show and a potential Royal Variety act. NO.”
