Britain’s Got Talent was rocked by another blow as two gymnasts suffered a nasty fall live on stage during Saturday night’s episode.
The ITV show welcomed another set of auditionees to Blackpool in a bid to secure a place in the coveted final.
To kick the show off, the first act on stage in the North West were two gymnasts – Connor and Oliver – who performed a trampolining routine to DJ Fresh’s hit, Louder.
But after jetting all the way from Canada to showcase their various tricks and stunts, the performance was soon over as one of the performers suffered a terrible tumble.
After landing one impressive move, he soon bounced back up, but this time he lost his footing and fell over the edge of the trampoline and plummeted down onto the stage.
The judges looked on in horror as Amanda Holden heard wincing at the dangerous act as she looked on to her fellow panel, comprising Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and KSI.

The first act on stage in the North West were two gymnasts – Connor and Oliver – who performed a trampolining routine but were soon sent home after a nasty fall
He quickly recovered and returned to the trampoline just in time for the performance to draw to a close.
Despite the fall and risks, the act failed to impress the judges and the boys were sent packing as the panel lamented their ‘boring’ act.
Judge KSI commented: ‘I’d have scrolled past after 30 seconds on Instagram reels.’
The incident on stage comes after another act that ‘should have stayed in the bedroom’ was bombarded with Ofcom complaints by sickened viewers.
Baron, 39, and Vesper, 44, appeared on the programme to show off their unique talent, which saw her swinging in the air from chains attached to his ear lobes and nipples.
Before that, Baron also attached some weights to his nipples and ear lobes, leaving the audience lost for words.
At the start of the segment, host Declan Donnelly told viewers: ‘Obviously don’t try this at home, it’s very dangerous.’
While the audience were quite impressed, those watching at home were not and took to the UK’s telly regulator to complain.
Eighty-nine people took to Ofcom to share how unimpressed they were with the segment.
And at the time, many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share how much they didn’t enjoy it.

‘This needs to stop in the bedroom, not on TV #BGT.’
‘This nipple thing is atrocious.’
‘OH GOD!!!!! Baron and Vesper truly brought the danger.’
After their performance, Simon asked: ‘Who came up with the idea to do this?’
Vesper explained: ‘It was a lot of brainstorming and the physics behind it and how it would be possible.’
Daily Mail contacted the show’s representatives for comment at the time.
