Britain’s Got Talent has been hit with a number of complaints following Saturday night’s semi-final as viewers complain over a ‘horrifying’ semi-finalist
Britain’s Got Talent broadcast live from London once again this weekend for the third semi-final of the series. The first semi-final was hit with a number of Ofcom complaints following sword swallower Auzzy Blood’s performance, and this week, it was yet another ‘horrifying’ act that received complaints.
Ofcom has revealed Saturday night’s show received 65 complaints, confirming the majority of them related to danger act Bao Cuong’s routine.
The show, which broadcast on May 10, saw dance act Ping Pong Pan and drag queen opera singer Jasmine Rice secure their place in the final, with Bao coming in seventh place.
Judges and viewers were left stunned during the star’s performance, as Amanda Holden said it was “horrific to watch”. In the most shocking part of his performance, the act was seen pulling hosts Ant and Dec across the stage on a motorbike with his eyelids.
“I don’t know what to say. Horrific to watch. At the same time, you can’t take your eyes off you,” Amanda said, as Bruno agreed: “I am exhausted. You may not like this kind of act, but you are a master of what you do. You are the best at what you do.”
Stuntman Bao shocked the audience with his performance as he showed off his eye-popping stunts. In fact, the audience were left so horrified that they were heard screaming as they watched him attach a chain to his eyelid before he started lifting objects.
The comments kept on coming from the judges, as Alesha continued: “Its such a difficult act to watch. My eyes were hurting watching your eyes. I am exhausted.”
The act was even too much for Simon Cowell to handle, as he concluded: “You look so normal and sweet then you do these terrible things to yourself. It’s very difficult to watch you do these terrible things to you but at the same time I loved it.”
It was Bruno who was granted the Golden Buzzer during the third live semi-final which was given to drag queen opera singer Jasmine Rice after her performance of Never Enough.
