Britain’s Got Talent could be subject to investigation by TV watchdog Ofcom after a number of complaints were made about Saturday night’s episode.

Concerns were raised over Alexander Magala’s ‘sword-swallowing’ performance which can be viewed in the video below if you missed the show.

All four judges looked uncomfortable as they watched on and when the camera panned to the audience, people had to look away from the stage.

28 complaints were made in total with most relating to Magala’s performance, which was so dangerous a glaring “Don’t Try This At Home” sign could be viewed in the corner of the screen.

According to Mirror Online, a handful of viewers also complained about Simon Cowell using the word ‘bloody’ and taking the Lord’s name in vain.

Another complaint was made regarding the cruelty of having animals perform on the show.
