Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left horrified as a young child slammed into the ground during an audition. It happened during a scootering performance where a group of children performed tricks on stage on a huge ramp.
Six-year-old Austin, who was taking part in the performance, slammed into the ground just 30 seconds into the start of the performance. The auditorium went silent as they waited with bated breath to see whether he would be OK.
Luckily, Austin was fine and went on to complete the performance where all four boys were given three yes’ and sent through to the next round. However, the shocking incident scared viewers and even Simon Cowell said it has put him off letting his son watch the show. Simon said: “I won’t be letting my son watch this audition.” Social media users were also horrified by the incident.

One fan of the show even said: “I hope that fall was fake and he’s okay.” More people took to Twitter to express that they were “horrified” and “heartbroken” by the incident.
