As the daring performance got underway, fans said ‘surely that’s illegal’ as they marvelled at the knives that the daredevil used in his act.
Auzzy Blood, whose real name is Austin Punton, is a performer known for his “freak show” acts, and last night he lived up to his reputation and then some.
Swallowing huge knives and rolling around on the floor, Auzzy Blood left viewers squirming.
“Surely those knives are illegal to own in the UK…” said one person on X as they watched the performance.
A second person then said: “This is the most disgusting act i’ve ever seen i literally cannot even look.”
“OMG it’s Auzzy blood. This act is disgusting and not for family viewing,” said a third.
A fourth then penned: “Auzzy was disgusting to watch. And I loved it.”
While a fifth said: “The Auzzy Blood is a NO from me.
“That act should be something someone chooses to see, not one that’s inflicted upon them without warning. I couldn’t bear to watch!”
Sadly, Auzzy Blood did not make it through to the live final, which will take place next month.
The show’s rule change meant Amanda Holden sent The Blackouts through to the final with her Golden Buzzer advantage.
Meanwhile, Vinnie McKee topped the public vote and found himself in the final and beat fellow singer Linda Mudzenda who was the night’s runner up.
Fans were sad that Auzzy didn’t make it through to the final.
“WAIT WDYM AUZZY BLOOD DIDNT GO TO THE FINALS???” said one person on X, despite the mass outrage of his ‘disgusting’ act.
