A 'Britain's Got Talent' icebreaker act suffered a bloody injury during the auditions.
A Britain's Got Talent left everyone stunned after suffering a nasty injury on stage
The ITV talent show returned to the London Palladium this week for the first round of auditions, but judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were left stunned after the scary incident which caused "the audience to gasp".
Icebreaker JD Anderson – who previously appeared on the US version of the show – was smashing ice on his head when the act took a worrying turn.
One viewer told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column: “You expect weird acts but this guy was smashing ice on his head. Amanda was visibly wincing each time the blocks of ice got bigger but Simon appeared to be loving it.
“It ended with JD running into a giant block of ice and smashing it up, causing the audience to gasp. It soon became clear he was in pain and blood could be seen coming out of his head.
“Medics obviously had to intervene, making sure that he was OK and hadn’t given himself a concussion. It looked like it hurt but there was no lasting harm done.”
Meanwhile, David has been at the centre of his own ‘BGT’ drama after getting in trouble with TV bosses - and Simon himself - over his "outrageous behaviour", which included stripping down to his underwear and tweaking Cowell's nipples.
However, the final straw apparently saw him asking a contestant if his talent was getting his manhood out.
Simon told his co-star to "apologise now” before sending him off stage, adding: "Get out, get out. This is supposed to be a family show.”
An insider said: “Because BGT has been off our screens for some time, David is like a schoolboy in his first week back in class after the summer holidays.
“He can’t resist showing off in front of the crowd, which people expect from the funnyman. But sometimes he can take things too far, and that’s just what’s happened this week.
“Simon obviously loves his outrageous behaviour and the fact they take the mickey out of one another, but even he seemed unimpressed with his latest joke."
