Simon Cowell gets the shock of his life when one of Britain's Got Talent's auditionees plunges from a balcony and lays prostrate on the floor.
But Simon, who earlier in the week conned Amanda Holden into thinking she was being dumped from the show for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, is just getting a taste of his own medicine…
As the ITV talent search returns tonight, Simon and his co-judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams are watching a terrifying routhine in which a fearless free-runner makes his way around the auditorium, but then it all seems to go wrong when 20-year-old Matt McCreary, from Belfast, pretends to be injured.

Viewers tuning in to tonight’s show will see Simon ask Matt : “Oh my God, Matt are you really OK?” as he lies on the theatre floor after diving from a balcony.
Matt, who also leaps over show hosts Ant and Dec on stage, also impressed Amanda Holden, who tells him: “We have never seen anything as brave and dangerous before.”

But not everyone on the panel is won over, with David Walliams joking: “Jumping over two people who are that short isn’t really such a big deal.”

The “Do Not Try This At Home” warning also flashes up for another act – brother and sister roller-skaters Billy and Emily England.
The pair, from Birmingham, stun the audience with their routine and impress Alesha Dixon who calls them “fearless”.
