Stacey Solomon was left screaming in horror when a stunt on Britain’s Got Talent went horribly wrong. The 36-year-old was parachuted in to take over one of the judging seats when show boss Simon Cowell was incapacitated after suffering a fall.

But there was more drama on the famous Britain’s Got Talent stage as cameras rolled to begin filming season 19 of the long-running ITV show. Sitting alongside YouTube star KSI, Stacey, 36, was left aghast when a contestant was left dripping with blood after a stunt went wrong.

According to a report, the hopeful navigated a dangerous tunnel that contained hedge trimmers. While the performer made it through the obstacle course, they didn’t make it unscathed – with the performer left injured and bleeding.

A source told The Sun: “He laughed it off like it wasn’t an issue, but was hiding his arm behind his back. When he let it drop, you could see blood covering his arm, and then he accidentally smeared it on his belly.

“Stacey seemed really shocked, especially when fellow judge KSI talked about giving it a go, and she begged him not to.”

And it was not the only incident that struck proceedings while new episodes were being filmed. Camera crews rolled into Blackpool to film auditions – with husband and wife daredevil double act Alfredo and Oral Silva suffering a slip-up too.

The pair, who have appeared on America’s Got Talent in the past, wow audiences with knife-throwing stunts. But Alfredo reportedly misjudged one of his throws, leading to Coral’s hand getting cut.

A source claimed: “She decided to continue with their audition, but the crew were nervous something might go wrong again in front of the judges and the audience.

“Everyone was really twitchy backstage, but thankfully it went without a hitch the second time around. The Mirror has approached showmakers for comment.

Stunts have gone terribly wrong on Simon Cowell’s Got Talent franchise in the past – most famously when escapologist Jonathan Goodwin was hospitalised in 2021.

The 45-year-old Welshman was rehearsing for America’s Got Talent: Extreme, where he planned to escape from a straitjacket while suspended above two cars. However, he was left wheelchair bound when the stunt went wrong.

Jonathan was crushed between the cars as they caught fire – leaving him with third-degree burns, a broken spine, and a severed spinal cord. He also broke two shoulder blades, shattered bones in his legs and even lost a kidney.

The daredevil is engaged to actress Amanda Abbington – and he reportedly gave her the option to leave him after he was paralysed in the incident; a proposal she rejected.

Appearing on ITV’s Lorraine in May 2022, Jonathan recalled: “I said, ‘You have a get-out-of-jail-free card. If you want to walk away, I understand,’ and she told me not to be so stupid.”

Amanda added, “We are closer and tighter than ever, and we have this unspoken thing. We said the other day that we are the people that are gonna say yes to stuff, life’s too short, be in the moment and grab it with both hands because you don’t know what’s around the corner.”

She added: “He’s a total inspiration to me. He’s an idiot, I’m a wally, so it’s fine. And all my friends and family love him, he’s very lovable.”
