BGT's acrobatic act 'The Freaks' leaves the judges shaking after daring catapult stunt

The Britain’s Got Talent judges have been shown looking shocked in a teaser clip for Saturday night’s show, after a daring acrobatic act took the stage.

An acrobatic troupe called The Freaks performed a routine which included flinging one member of the group into the air - to the judges’ collective amazement.

The act used girls as skipping ropes after catapulting them through the air and across the stage.

Their next trick then saw them make a human ladder to throw one girl to the top of it, but this was a bridge too far for the fearful judges, who were left shaking at the end of the routine.

Alesha Dixon shouted from the judging panel “Oh my goodness me!” while a terrified Amanda Holden replied: “Oh my God!”

The group quickly stepped it up a gear as they used each other to create their high human tower and fling one member to the top.

As they assembled, co-host Ant McPartlin begged: “Oh no no no!” as he looked on from backstage, stood alongside Declan Donnelly.

The Freaks then dropped the girl from a high height before catching her, as Amanda was seen covering her mouth and exclaimed: “Oh!” before the clip ended.

Britain's Got Talent's next episode will apparently see Alesha run off in terror after an audition on the ITV talent series, The Sun reports.

The judge is so horrified by an act that she ditches the panel and flees to the audience in the venue, before refusing to return.

A 'witch' steps out onto the stage, and soon creeps the judges out when they approach the panel desk.

Suddenly, Alesha is "covered" in creepy crawlies, which leaves her horrified and "storming off" according to the publication.

The witch apparently thrusts an apple in Amanda Holden and Alesha's faces, with it then exploding into a cluster of maggots and cockroaches, in a moment likened to ITV's I'm A Celebrity.

Pictures show the moment the act holds the apple, before approaching the two judges, as well as Simon Cowell and David Walliams.

When the trickery happens, Alesha will be shown screaming in horror before running away from the desk, as she refuses to return.

Amanda apparently shrieks: "This is why I’ve never gone on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! It’s horrible."

Alesha says meanwhile: "I’m socially distancing from the cockroaches!" and refuses to go back until all of the critters are removed.

Viewers can see the audition and the aftermath during the latest episode on Saturday night.

Britain's Got Talent 2022 continues Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
