THE Britain’s Got Talent judges were all lost for words after a contestant set themselves on FIRE during their audition tonight.
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tunioli and Alesha Dixon couldn’t believe their eyes as American performer Thomas Vu performed his dangerous stunt on stage.
Britain’s Got Talent judges were left lost for words when a contestant performed on stage on FIRE
Thomas successfully completed the Rubik’s cube
Bruno couldn’t believe his eyes
Before his performance, the 35-year-old, who previously appeared on America’s Got Talent, said: “I want to show the world that the Rubik’s Cube can be very interesting.”
He then went on to solve a Rubik’s cube while he was on fire.
Thomas completed it without getting hurt and secured four yeses – meaning he is through to the next round.
Viewers at home were just as gobsmacked as the jugdes.
One said on Twitter: “Wow that was flaming insane I can’t believe he set himself on fire while doing the Rubik’s cube trick and pulled it off great work that looked so dangerous then ever before.”
Another wrote: “Well done Thomas I was on the edge of my seat when the fire thing happened but I’m so glad you’re okay and that was such an unbelievable audition! :).”
A third chimed in: “Bloody hell! I just couldn’t quite believe he was on fire. I love danger though! #BGT it’s a yes from me.”
“No words,” a fourth simply tweeted.
Meanwhile Bruno fought back the tears at a young contestant’s incredible singing voice.
13-year-old Malakai Bayoh belted out Pie Jesu and left everyone speechless.
As he performed the song, Bruno teared up as he watched on from his seat – and he ended up being Simon’s golden buzzer act.
Earlier on in the episode viewers went wild as the show joined forces with a popular ITV soap Coronation Street.
Ant and Dec, as well as the judges bumped into a number of the show’s characters, including Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) and Kirk Sutherland (Andy Whyment).
Many flocked to Twitter to share the love.
One wrote: “Great start to #BGT loving the coronation street sketch!”
A second said: “That #Corrie sketch was brilliant.”
