Britain’s Got Talent fans already believe they know the winner after the first episode of the hit ITV show aired on Saturday night.
Viewers quickly took to social media after three-time Guinness World Record holder Auzzy Blood brought sword swallowing to the stage.
The act left judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli open mouthed as they watched in fear.
During his performance, Auzzy put a corkscrew and meat hook through his head and nose, and out of his mouth.
The scene was so dangerous that a warning was put out so viewers do not try the stunt at home – with Dec reiterating the point during the segment.

Viewers quickly took to social media after three-time Guinness World Record holder Auzzy Blood brought sword swallowing to the stage
The horror-stricken act was dressed head to toe gothic attire and had painted their face in a skeleton like face paint.
After twisting the corkscrew and hooks, he then inserted a tube into their nose and out their mouth, instructing Simon to drink from it.
For the final part of the terrifying act, he pulled himself up into the air from a rope with a hook hanging from their mouth and nose.
Throughout the entire gruesome segment, the audience screamed in terror and all four judges turned their faces and chairs away.
Simon said of the act: ‘It’s spooky horror where you don’t want to watch it, but you do want to watch it. That’s obviously why we’re going to show it. We probably will get some complaints. Hopefully!’
Fans rushed to X – formerly known as Twitter – to gush how ‘fantastic’ the performance was but also ‘disturbing’.
They wrote: ‘Wow Auzzy Blood was fantastic, that was disturbing but loved it;
‘Catching up on #BGT and my god, watching Auzzy Blood was insane. I have never watched anything on TV, let alone an act on BGT, through my fingers before. Horrifically brilliant;
‘This is what we live for as a viewer watching Britains Got Talent. Auzzy Blood is indeed amazing!;
