THE BGT judges are left gobsmacked tomorrow night as a man appears completely naked on stage.
As Britain’s Got Talent returns to our screens, a Japanese comedian is seen performing a very risky act.
Known as Akira, the man performs with just a tray to cover his modesty, puling off various tricks.
He first tells Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli that he will show them the Blackpool Tower and quickly flips his tray to reveal an image of the landmark.
He then ties a toy car to a ball, which is covering his privates, and moves along with it – being careful not to reveal too much.
Ant – who is watching from the side lines – declares: “He was so close!”
Akira has been performing his naked tray act for the past ten years and previously hit back at criticism telling The Japan Times in 2019: “I’m aware there’s criticism and that’s fine. Some people see this naked guy on stage and feel it’s inappropriate, which I completely understand.
“Those who watch the whole act, however, realize there’s nothing dirty about it. It’s just a middle-aged guy with a tray, a bow tie and no other clothes.”
BGT show has run since 2007 and has produced winners including Susan Boyle, Paul Potts and Diversity.
The series champion receives £250,000 in prize money and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
A format change this year will see the live semi-finals air weekly rather than nightly across one week as they had done previously.
This series will also see the judges joined by special guest judge KSI.
Tune in to the brand-new series of Britain’s Got Talent, tomorrow night at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
