Fans of Britain's Got Talent couldn't believe what they were seeing in episode four of the series as sword swallower Andrew Stanton added a horrifying twist to his act. Walking on to the stage at first. Andrew refused to speak to head judge Simon Cowell when asked his name and what he’d be doing on the ITV talent show on Saturday night (April 29).
He was then joined on stage by an assistant before swallowing a large sword, much to the audience and judging panel's amazement. At the sight of the sword, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly immediately told viewers not to try this at home.
Andrew followed this by swallowing three long knives, and then he summoned judge Amanda Holden to come up on to the stage. She lay down still on a platform attached to a chain, which he suspended onto his eyes.
