Britain's Got Talent's Papi Flex horrifies judges and viewers with disturbing contortion act

Britain's Got Talent judges and viewers were left covering their eyes in horror at one of the first acts in action as the show returned on Saturday night.

BGT is a show famous for some absolutely absurd auditions and also some very very scary ones and contortionist Papi Flex can most definitely be put into both of the categories.

The 26-year-old, whose previously appeared on Spain's Got Talent, arrived on stage in a box as the studio lights went out and the minute he stepped out of the box, painted as a skeleton, David Walliams screamed "I can't watch, I can't watch, I don't like it," before hiding behind fellow judge Alesha Dixon's chair.

Papi Flex certainly lived up to his name, showing off his incredible flexibility by dislocating a number of his limbs and then moving to the judges' table to bend his fingers right back.

Papi then bent his legs over his shoulders before performing press ups using just his hands. While all of the judges couldn't quite believe what they'd just watched, Papi did get four yeses, so we'll be seeing more of him!

Viewers at home were quick to react to his audition too, many of them alarmed at his disturbing performance. One tweeted: "It was absolutely disgusting but in a good way. I couldn't take my eyes off him even though I wanted to lol," and another reacted: "OMG! That was terrifying! My bones are sore after seeing that!"
