Who is Papi Flex on Britain's Got Talent? Contortionist that horrified judges is back for semis

Britain's Got Talent is a show that proudly promotes the weird and wonderful and an act that definitely fits into the former category is returning to make an impact in the semi-finals this weekend/

One of the most memorable acts from episode one of Britain's Got Talent 2020 was contortionist Papi Flex who had David Walliams hiding behind Alesha Dixon in fear during his audition.

He certainly lived up to his name, showing off his incredible flexibility by dislocating a number of his limbs and then moving to the judges' table to bend his fingers right back.

Papi then bent his legs over his shoulders before performing press ups using just his hands. While all of the judges couldn't quite believe what they'd just watched, Papi did get four yeses, so we'll be seeing more of him!

Viewers at home were quick to react to his audition too, many of them alarmed at his disturbing performance. One tweeted: "It was absolutely disgusting but in a good way. I couldn't take my eyes off him even though I wanted to lol," and another reacted: "OMG! That was terrifying! My bones are sore after seeing that!"

Who is Papi Flex?

Papi Flex is 26 and hails from Belgium. Papi is no stranger to a talent show, with his appearance on Britain's Got Talent, following on from stint on Spain'a Got Talent where he made the semi-finals.
