Ant McPartlin was left needing medical attention after cutting his head on a coconut while filming Britain’s Got Talent.
In an unseen moment from the show released on Thursday, the television presenter, 46, is shown standing next to co-host Declan Donnelly at the side of the stage as an act performs for the judges with a large number of the fruit set out on some tables.
Clearly in a mischievous mood, Ant grabs a coconut and tries to crack it open with his bare hands before smashing it against his forehead, with Dec, 46, pointing out blood had appeared on his skin before calling a medic in for help.

‘Every single day when someone recognises me on the street, they say, ‘Oh, we love it when you have a go at Simon’,’ he said.
‘It seems to be the key thing people really like… so if I didn’t give him a hard time, I think people would be disappointed.’
