Overview
- An American daredevil reportedly emerged bleeding after walking through a tunnel of powered hedge trimmers during audition filming in Blackpool.
- Audience descriptions say the performer tried to hide an arm wound before revealing blood on his arm and torso, and reports claim footage of the incident has circulated online.
- Guest judge Stacey Solomon was said to scream and cover her eyes during the act and urged fellow judge KSI not to attempt anything similar.
- Separately, knife‑thrower Alfredo Silva reportedly nicked partner Coral Silva’s hand during a backstage rehearsal; medics treated her and she chose to continue the audition, with an ambulance called according to reports.
- ITV was approached for comment by outlets covering the incidents, which are primarily based on tabloid and eyewitness reports, while Simon Cowell later told the audience he had missed early filming after falling down steps but said he was fine.
