Britain’s Got Talent viewers left shocked as crew step in after Simon Cowell ‘nearly killed

In a recent episode of “Britain’s Got Talent,” viewers were left in shock as a daring act involving judge Simon Cowell took a perilous turn, prompting immediate intervention from the production crew.

The Act That Went Too Far

The performer, Kranthi Drillman, began his audition by impressively cracking open soda cans with his teeth. The act escalated when he invited head judge Simon Cowell onto the stage, instructing him to lie down. Blindfolded, Kranthi proceeded to smash fruits placed perilously close to Cowell using a sledgehammer. Despite Cowell’s visible discomfort and pleas for the act to stop, the performer continued, leading to heightened tension among the judges and audience.

Crew Intervention

As the situation became increasingly dangerous, fellow judge Amanda Holden pressed her buzzer in an attempt to halt the performance. However, it wasn’t until the production crew intervened that the act was brought to an abrupt end. The swift action ensured Cowell’s safety, but not before leaving him visibly shaken by the ordeal.

Reactions from the Judges

The incident elicited strong reactions from the judging panel. Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli were all horrified as they watched the act unfold. Despite the terrifying experience, Cowell acknowledged the uniqueness of the performance and, in a surprising move, voted to send the stunt performer through to the next round.

Fans of the show took to social media to express their shock and concern over the dangerous stunt. Many questioned the safety protocols in place and the decision to allow such a high-risk act to proceed. The incident has sparked discussions about the lengths performers go to in order to impress and the responsibilities of talent shows in ensuring the well-being of their participants and judges.

“Britain’s Got Talent” continues to air on ITV1, with episodes available for streaming on ITV Hub. The show has yet to comment officially on the incident, but it has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on both the judges and the viewing audience.
