Britain's Got Talent judges left 'horrified' over act as they're forced to look away
Bao Cuong, a danger act, took to the stage to perform a terrifying stunt during Saturday's (10 May) third live semi-final
The third live semi-final of Britain's Got Talent, which aired on Saturday (10 May), had viewers and judges alike talking about one act in particular that was described by one judge as "horrific".
Danger stunt performer Bao Cuong stepped onto the stage to showcase a frightful feat that involved a motorbike and an astonishing use of his eyes. He called upon the assistance of presenters Ant and Dec, asking them to mount a motorbike.
Bao proceeded to use his eyes to pull the vehicle towards himself with a metal chain, leaving the judging panel - comprised of Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and Amanda Holden - in obvious discomfort, all finding it hard to keep watching during the nerve-wracking moments.
Post act, Amanda expressed her conflicted feelings, admitting, "I don't know what to say. Horrific to watch. At the same time, you can't take your eyes off you."

Bruno shared his exhausted state yet praised Bao, stating, "I am exhausted. You may not like this kind of act, but you are a master of what you do. You are the best at what you do."

Adding her thoughts, Alesha said, "It's such a difficult act to watch. My eyes were hurting watching your eyes. I am exhausted."
In contrast, Simon found the stunt fascinating, expressing his sentiment: "You look so normal and sweet then you do these terrible things to yourself. It's very difficult to watch you do these terrible things to you but at the same time I loved it."
The daring performance left viewers of BGT posting shocked reactions online, though a number signalled their appreciation for Bao's boldness and talent in executing such a risky stunt, reports Belfast Live.

"Bao Cuong knows how to turn heads with a truly unique act, using gobsmacking skills. A slick and highly thrilling performance #BGT," said one fan, while another chimed in: "Bao Cuong It's bonkers but it makes me laugh.. the judges are too soft #BGT."
Meanwhile, certain viewers expressed their unease, with comments like: "Well, I still feel sick! ! #BGT" and "Oh that's gross #BGT #BritainsGotTalent" and yet another viewer remarked: "That was horrific #bgt."
Despite his efforts, Bao Cuong didn't secure a place in the Britain's Got Talent final that's scheduled for later this month.
The disappointment among fans was palpable with reactions such as: "Gutted Bao Cuong deserved better #BGT," and furthermore, someone else felt: "Bao Cuong was robbed #BGT."
Securing a spot in the final thanks to Bruno's Golden Buzzer was Jasmine Rice, and clinching the hearts of the public, Ping Pong Pang emerged victorious in the viewers vote to join the lineup for this year's grand finale.

Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's ‘strongest couple' as they head for split days before final
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's 'strongest couple' found themselves in a furious row and could be heading for a split - just days before the final. The remaining Islanders played a game of Knowing Me, Knowing You - testing how well the couples know each other. 4 Love Island's Meg and Dejon argued after the latest challenge Credit: Eroteme 4 Their feud continues into the following episode Credit: ITV 4 Dejon picked Yas as the girl he'd couple up with - if Meg wasn't in the villa Credit: Eroteme Dejon and Meg emerged as joint winners and therefore the "strongest couple". Despite this, the pair found themselves in an argument after the challenge. The boys had to answer which girl they'd couple up with - if their actual partner wasn't in the villa. Meg was left shocked when Dejon picked Yasmin, despite recent tensions with her, Shakira and Toni. The couple bickered as Dejon insisted he'd told Meg this before - but his girlfriend argued she didn't remember the conversation. In a first-look at tonight's instalment, it would appear they are still feuding. Speaking to Conor, Meg shares: "I'm not just gonna stand there. He's put Yas on a board again. "I take so much heat from these three girls. You've put on a board that you would recouple with Yas." Conor then interjected, saying Dejon "may have taken the question too literal". Meg added: "It's a challenge, I don't care about it. Love Island fans 'work out' why Dejon turned on Meg as villa's strongest couple hit the rocks days before final "At the end of the day, we're boyfriend and girlfriend. It doesn't matter." Dejon then approached, remarking: "You're going to stop talking as I'm walking past?" Hearing this, Meg repeated to her boyfriend what she'd just told Conor. She then continued: "He just gets so defensive over everything." Later on, the couple are sat together as Meg says: "I had a little chat with Yas. "Obviously, I don't know whether you know from the boys, but she wrote your name on the board yesterday. LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week.

Hollyoaks tour cancelled ahead of huge anniversary over 'low ticket sales'
The upcoming Hollyoaks Live tour has been dropped by its promoters, who are said to have 'over-estimated' the appeal for the production, which is external to the TV show A huge tour for a major TV show has been dramatically axed due to low ticket sales. Hollyoaks Live, which is an external production from the Channel 4 soap opera, was expected to hit the road, giving fans an insight into the popular programme but bosses have been forced to pull the plug. But while a string of famous faces from the show had signed on the dotted line to meet with fans, the production, which was due to take place in October, will no longer be going ahead. Soap stars including Nick Pickard, Kieron Richardson, Jorgie Porter, Gary Lucy, and Ashley Taylor Dawson were set to meet fans who had splashed out a whopping £161 for meet and greet tickets, allowing them to ask burning questions about their favourite TV show. It comes after reports Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set for new 'goldmine' offer - but could face issue. However, sources have claimed that bosses behind the production had "overestimated" the appeal for the show, which was due to take place in Manchester, Glasgow and London, had been left with no option but to cancel the entire tour. "The promoter massively over-estimated the appeal a live stage show would have to Hollyoaks' core audience," a source said. They went on to tell The Sun: "The ticket prices were incredibly high for a show that's popular with teenagers. "The decision was made to pull the tour rather than have a loss-making venture with empty theatres." But those who purchased tickets for the events will be offered refunds at their points of purchase. It's understood that the tour was organised by an external production team, with Hollyoaks and Channel 4 having very limited involvement in the planning. A spokesperson for the tour said in a statement: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the planned theatre events with Maple Tree Entertainment featuring Hollyoaks cast are not going to take place as planned. "We are sad to disappoint those who had purchased tickets but they will be refunded via the venues." However, it's a stark contrast for ITV soap, Coronation Street, which is going ahead with a live theatre tour. Long standing cast members from the Manhcester based soap opera will appear at theatres across the nation to discuss their time on the show, in a production which has been billed An Audience with Coronation Street. Fans will pay more than £30 with the promoters promising "behind-the-scenes secrets, share hilarious stories, and relive heart-warming moments from the iconic ITV show". Hosted by This Morning's resident soap expert, Sharon Marshall, the show promises to be filled with laughter, nostalgia, and "more than a few jaw-dropping surprises!" Each event will feature five Coronation Street stars live on stage, including a surprise Corrie legend. The line-up will vary at each venue, with fan-favourite cast members including Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland), Jack P Shepherd (David Platt), Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor), and Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald), with more names to be announced soon. Additionally, former show legends will also appear on stage. The tour will start in September and includes dates in London, Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow. Promoters say in the first half, the audience will be treated to an intimate and lively interview session with some of Corrie's most beloved cast members. Ever wondered what goes on between takes? Curious about those off-screen friendships and real-life dramas? This is your chance to hear all the gossip straight from the source. The second act will feature a Corrie legend who will appear on stage and talk about their time on the ITV show.

Danny Dyer's earnings 'unveiled' after being 'skint' before landing EastEnders role
Danny Dyer has earned a huge fortune thanks to his work in TV and film, but the actor has been honest about his financial woes in the past Danny Dyer 's impressive earnings have reportedly been disclosed, following a series of successful roles in popular shows over the past year. The 48 year old star, known for his performances in Mean Machine and Football Factory, has been candid about his financial struggles in the past, confessing he hit a rough patch before securing his role on EastEnders. Danny was cast as Mick Carter in the BBC One soap in 2013 and remained a regular in Walford until 2022, when his character mysteriously disappeared at sea. Since leaving EastEnders, Danny has secured a number of acting roles. He's starred in ITV 's Rivals and Sky's Mr. Bigstuff, which earned him a BAFTA for his performance. Thanks to this success, Danny's amassed a substantial fortune, with accounts filed at Companies House revealing that his company, Arty Bucco, made £1.4 million in the last financial year, reports OK!. These figures show Danny has made an impressive £712,221 more than the previous year, according to MailOnline. In addition to his acting income, Danny's also earned money from hosting shows such as The Wall and Scared of the Dark. He's also appeared in documentaries like Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family and participated in shows such as Celebrity Gogglebox and The Assembly. However, Danny's wealth hasn't always been so vast, with the actor admitting he was struggling financially before landing his role in EastEnders in 2013. Previously speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, Danny admitted: "I didn't have an audition, they rung me up, I had a touch. They said, 'Listen we want you to come in the show, take over the Queen Vic' and at the time I was skint and I just had about enough petrol money to get there, that's the truth. "They thought I was a multimillionaire and I met them in the hotel and I walked in absolutely skint, not a bean about me. I thought, I hope they don't ask me to get them a lager because I've got no dough." He confessed that he attempted to "play down" his enthusiasm at being offered the part, as he didn't want to "look desperate" in front of BBC executives. He added: "I went, 'I'll think about it' and then I walked out and I did a couple of backflips on the way out! I played it right down, I didn't want to look desperate and I was desperate."
