Bruno: 'Act not offensive'

BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli has said he does not think semi-finalist Auzzy Blood's horror-themed act is "offensive" after the show received hundreds of Ofcom complaints following his audition.

The US contestant, whose real name is Austin Punton, inserted a series of metallic objects into his face, before running a tube into his mouth and out of his nose for judge Simon Cowell to drink through, during his first performance on the ITV talent show in February.

The act concluded with the performer climbing up a rope using a metal hook in his mouth, as some of the judges looked away, with Britain's Got Talent receiving 771 Ofcom complaints in the aftermath of his performance and that of Japanese performer Akira Ohashi, whose routine included nudity.
