BGT judges horrified as act swallows sword before lifting up Amanda Holden by his EYEBALLS

The Britain's Got Talent judges couldn't bring themselves to watch one of the most daring stunts seen on the show as Amanda Holden was lifted from the ground by an act who had attached chains to his eyeballs.

During the latest round of auditions, Andrew Stanton walked on stage and refused to say a word, ignoring Simon Cowell when asked his name before an assistant joined him on stage.

The daring act tied his arms around his back before standing up and then bent down, picking a sword up with his mouth, down into his throat.

Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli looked away as Andrew inserted three long knives into his mouth before his assistant slammed them down his throat using a frying pan.

For his final stunt, he invited Amanda onto the stage and as he prepared the stunt, she said: "Oh my god I'm shaking."

Andrew asked her to lie down on a platform attached to a chain, which he then suspended onto his eyes.

Declan Donnelly cried out: "Stop it, man! What's the matter with you?"

Andrew slowly lifted the judge up into the air as the crowd gasped in shock.

After Amanda was freed, she remarked: "That was horrific," as Dec added: "We've never seen anything like that before."

"You took it to another level," Alesha quipped and Simon added: "I mean this as a compliment, it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen."

Britain's Got Talent viewers were horrified by the daring stunt as one tweeted: "WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS STUFF #BGT."

"Nobody needs to see him sliding that sword down his throat thank you #BGT," another wrote.

Another viewer joked: "*do not try this at home*... Puts sword away #BGT #BritainsGotTalent #BGT2023."
