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”.

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.

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.”
“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.”
