Britain’s Got Talent EXCLUSIVE: Amanda is left SCREAMING, David hides behind Alesha’s chair and Simon can’t bear to look at VERY bendy contortionist
Britain’s Got Talent will return to our TV screens on Saturday night bringing a new batch of contestants hoping to wow the judges with their skills.
And one particularly bendy hopeful left judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, recoiling in terror in upcoming scenes from the show.
In a new clip released ahead of the series’ debut, at the Manchester auditions the panel could not bring themselves to look at the contestant.
Agh! One particularly bendy hopeful left judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, recoiling in terror in upcoming scenes from the show
Amanda appeared to be the most vocal of the judges as she was seen screaming at the contestant while David jumped out of his seat to hide behind Alesha.
The contortionist had a skull style face paint and a tight black costume with a skeleton pattern painted all over.
As he bent his arms in unfathomable directions he sent the crowds wild.
Ahead of the release of the new show, hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, both 44, revealed this year’s biggest influence comes from head judge Simon’s five-year-old- son, Eric.
Agh! Amanda was quite clearly terrified by the spooky moves
Scary! As he bent his arms in unfathomable directions he sent the crowds wild
Help! Simon couldn’t even bring himself to look at the contortionist
Earlier in the week, the show’s host joked: ‘It’s all about Eric and what he would like. Everything he sees that he would normally have buzzed off in years gone by, now he’s like, “My son would love that”’
While the auditions are kicking off this weekend, the live shows have been postponed until later in the year amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
However, because the auditions were prerecorded we will have all of the golden buzzer moments in store over the next few week, with the 14th series described by judge Amanda, 49, as ‘old school BGT’.
Agh! David was illustrating his usual over the top reactions

The big reveal: Ahead of the release of the new show, hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, both 44, revealed this year’s biggest influence comes from head judge Simon’s five-year-old- son, Eric
The beauty divulged: ‘We’ve got the eccentric acts, the bedroom performers, and then the people who have honed their act and worked for years and years on it but never quite made it.
‘As far as we’re concerned everyone deserves the chance, whether they’re brilliant or unpolished, because even the brilliant people have worked really hard for years and might just need a bit of BGT sparkle to push themselves to the next level’
Amanda has been a judge on every series thus far, alongside Simon, 60.
