A Britain's Got Talent act terrified the audience and judges with a close call during a death defying act - but later claimed it made him 'feel alive'
Italian escapologist Andrew Basso appeared on the ITV talent show to show judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon what he was capable of. The 36-year-old had Amanda handcuff him and lock him into the lid of the tank.
He was then positioned upside down under water in a death defying stunt. He had to escape from the locks and exit the tank or face drowning in front of a live audience. A warning popped up on screen reminding viewers not to try it at home.
