PRODUCERS were forced to step in on Britain’s Got Talent tonight to stop one act.
Simon Cowell was left absolutely terrified as he was called on stage to participate in the sledgehammer act.
Kranthi Drillman started off his act by cracking open cans of fizzy drinks using just his teeth.
However, he then stepped his act up a notch as he enlisted the help of the former X Factor mogul.
The TV personality was ordered to lay on the stage in an angel position as a producer ordered him to stay as still as possible.
On Britain’s Got Talent, the crowd soon cottoned onto what he was going to attempt to do, as the jeopardy set in.
He had the audience in absolute shock and horror as he was blindfolded after picking up his sledgehammer.
Simon was repeatedly asked if he was ‘okay’ by the production crew as the watermelons and coconuts were carefully placed around the judge.
Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli all squirmed as he smashed the fruit one by one.
Despite orders to stay still, Simon lifted his head to look at his fellow colleagues, making the anxiety of his co-stars even worse.
Simon looked absolutely terrified after nearly all the fruit was destroyed as he tried to stop the audition.
However, the act from India just kept going as he failed to realise the lack of fruit and kept slamming the hammer down.

As this didn’t quite work, a number of production crew then flooded onto the stage to try and halt the terrifying performance.

After Simon tried to clean off the fruit residue from himself, Ant McPartlin even approached his boss on stage.
“What were you thinking?”, he asked before Simon replied: “I don’t know he was going to do that.”
However, despite what appeared as an initial negative reaction, Simon still sent the stunt performer through to the next round.
After the audition he remarked: “That was the scariest thing I swear to god I have ever done. “
Amanda called the act absolutely ‘horrifying’ and said she could never do what Simon did.
Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
