BGT's Ant McPartlin injured after headbutting coconut during filming

Britain's Got Talent host Ant McPartlin has revealed he suffered a head injury and had to be treated by medics after trying to copy one of the acts performing on stage during filming of the new series. TV presenting duo And and Dec were up to their usual antics when they shared a clip on their social media of 46-year-old Ant attempting to crack a coconut with his hand, before using his forehead to try and break the fruit.

The BGT act, which saw a man trying to make a world record for breaking the most coconuts in one minute, was shown on ITV on Saturday (April 23). But in new behind the scenes footage, Ant was seen trying to mimic the contestants efforts - and epically failing.

The social media clip showed Ant alongside co-host Declan Donnelly giggling as they attempted the challenge in the stage wings during the act's performance.
