Britain's Got Talent returned on Tuesday night with another round of hopefuls looking to secure their place in the finals. The latest crop of performers battled it out in a bid to get the chance to appear in front of King Charles in the royal variety show.
But fans were talking more about the fact judge Bruno Tonioli reportedly swore live on air as the potty-mouthed BBC star was left squirming at Andrew Stanton's daredevil style act, which left ITV viewers "disgusted".
The sword-swallowing stuntman left everyone at home clenching their teeth when he first auditioned for the variety show in front of judges Alesha Dixon, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden alongside Bruno, when he hooked his eyes, which left people stunned.
And he was back again on stage on Tuesday with another "sick" but gruesome performance, which left many people forced to look away from their television screens as he stepped things up a notch.
Andrew pulled off a series of gruesome tasks, from sword swallowing and sticking giant springs up his nose, to dragging a truck along the stage using hooks attached to his eye sockets, reports the Mirror.
The judges were called up on on stage to assist him amid the terrifying screams in the audience, with Alesha refusing to offer herself up before Bruno encouraged her despite him, evidently not being keen on going up himself.
Former BBC Strictly judge Bruno was reportedly heard shouting "f***ing hell" as he joined Simon Cowell and the others, as Andrew proceeded to force a huge sword down his throat and hook two ropes on to Amanda's belt before attaching the ends on to his eye sockets.
Simon Cowell called it "the most disgusting thing in the history of Got Talent", with the episode receiving 71 Ofcom complaints from viewers.
Just weeks ago, BGT faced a number of complaints to Ofcom by viewers after the "most dangerous act" on the show left them sickened, and now Andrew was back as his act levelled up to bizarre new heights, with people unable to watch.
As Bruno stepped into the truck, he turned to Simon and said something which sounded like: "F***ing hell Simon, not again."
The moment did not go unnoticed, and one fan tweeted: "Bruno just said 'f***ing hell Simon, not again'," as a second said: "Did he just say f***ing hell???"
"I thought I heard Bruno swearing to Simon on stage about the act f***ing hell simon not this again or something along those lines," penned another viewer.
Fans tuning in took to Twitter to share their disgust over the scenes too, with one writing: "First time ive not been able to watch an act. Absolutely disgusting."
Another fan wrote: "This is not entertainment it's disgusting," while a third said: "Don’t think I can watch this, it makes me feel so sick."
