Britain’s Got Talent viewers were issued a warning as a divisive act took to the stage tonight<\/a> (February 28) that left the judges squirming in their seats.<\/p>\n Performing duo Baron and Vesper left the audience covering their eyes<\/a> and the judges struggling to watch as they used a series of hooks in various body parts to spin and fly in the air. At one point in their act, one of them was suspended in the air by hooks fed through the other’s nipples and earlobes.<\/p>\n Co-host Declan Donnelly<\/a> could be heard saying: “Obviously don’t try this at home, it’s very dangerous,” as a warning flashed up on-screen urging viewers not to copy what they were about to see.<\/p>\n “Even you’re shocked” judge Alesha Dixon pointed out as she turned to KSI who had remained composed until the act escalated and nipples became involved.<\/p>\n The act left viewers thoroughly divided(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n As the man with the hooks through him started to approach the judges’ desk with his partner still airborne, Amanda ran away, screaming: “Oh my God he’s coming, he’s coming” barely able to watch the act unfold. “I don’t know what to look at,” KSI added.<\/p>\n Despite the graphic nature of the act, the duo won a standing ovation from the crowd. Co-host Ant McPartlin<\/a>, watching from the side of the stage, commented: “That’s something we haven’t seen before and we’ve seen almost everything on this show.”<\/p>\n Offering her feedback on the act, judge Alesha said: “I found it difficult to watch, and weird<\/a> and brilliant,” while Amanda Holden said: “It looked awful in the best way,” saving herself from the crowd’s boos by swiftly adding: “It was horrifically brilliant.”<\/p>\n The pair won a yes from both Amanda and Alesha, while KSI said no. Meanwhile Simon had the deciding vote, throwing it to the audience who cheered enthusiastically, earning them a place in the next round.<\/p>\n Co-hosts Ant and Dec struggled to watch(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n Viewers at home also struggled to watch the act with many left divided by what they had just seen. One viewer fumed: “This needs to stop in the bedroom, not on TV,” while another said: “That’s not talent, that’s just stupidity.”<\/p>\n “Well I’ll not try that at home,” quipped another show viewer, as one begged: “MAKE IT STOP!”<\/p>\n “Don’t know whether to clap or cry or to gag or to do all three?” remarked one confused viewer. “I feel physically sick,” penned another. Meanwhile one curious viewer asked: “How does one discover they can do this?”<\/p>\n For the latest showbiz, TV, movie and streaming news, go to the new **Everything Gossip<\/a>** website.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0_act.jpg\")
