BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers were left horrified this evening by an extremely risqué act. American sword swallower Heather Holliday, 38, put on an incredible dangerous and sexy show for the semi-finals – sparking complaints to Ofcom . The shock act saw her swallow a series of knives while in a state of undress, before finishing up by lighting up her body from the inside with a light saber.
Taking to X to complain about her impressive skills, one person wrote: “I’m sorry sword swallowing is not an act to be infront of kids !! This sort of entertainment if you can call it that is not fun she does look good definitely like Bruno said Dita Von Teese.” Another commented: “Ofcom about to crash.” “Britain’s got talent.
.. Showing kids how to swallow a sword!” remarked someone else.
And a further remarked: “Today’s show is boring. And I hate this act. Eating knifes or whatever you call it.
Why is it even on Television pre watershed???” While someone else complained: "I hope to god that the sword swallower doesn't go through because I don't think King Charles will like or love that. It's not for live or entertainment television its something you can do behind closed doors." But despite the concern there was a lot of support for New Yorker Heather – in particular from the male contingent.
Speaking before she performed, Heather said: "I would love to be a household name. "I think the British royal family would like my performance because it’s like nothing .
