Britain's Got Talent viewers complained of a 'new low' as the opening episode of the 16th series featured a man who performed wind tricks. 'Fartist' Ichikawa Koikuchi stunned fans of the ITV talent show by breaking wind to blow out the candles on a birthday cake.
He followed this by blowing out a dart with the aim of popping a balloon, as new judge Bruno Tonoili held his head in his hands and rolled his eyes. Unfortunately for Ichikawa, he continued to miss and after a few failed attempts head judge Simon Cowell got up to join him on stage and offer some moral support.
When this did the trick the pair hugged and a delighted Ichikawa was sent through to the next round with three yeses. Alesha Dixon said: "I actually really enjoyed it."
