Simon Cowell was left mortified after a sword eater showcased her skills on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent.
The hit variety show was back for another episode on Sunday night (May 26), with judges Simon, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Amanda Holden back in the hot seat to watch a multitude of rising stars. But the judges were left in utter shock when Heather Holliday performed her act.
Putting on a sultry display, Heather came along with swords that she was ready to swallow. Taking one of the blades, Heather digested the sword leaving the judges stunned.

Amanda also took a similar stance while Alesha and Bruno watched on in disbelief. At the end of her performance, Simon said: “You got that whole star glow around you. Your whole presence is unbelievable!”
Shocked fans shared their thoughts on Heather online, with one viewer writing on social media platform X: “She’s fine AF! It’s a yes from me boys.”
Another viewer ecohed: “Every man just loves a great sword swallower. GOLDEN BUZZER.”
A third wrote: “Heather Holiday. Wowzer.” While a fourth added: “I bet her local restaurant is wondering where all their cutlery is going.”
But some fans were quick to find out more about Heather and pointed out that she may have been an invited guest. One viewer also wrote: “Of course she’s an invited professional American circus performer who’s been doing the sword swallowing for over 15 years.”
Another also said: “Ahhh! So she was ‘invited’ then…”
Heather isn’t exactly a newbie to sword-eating. On Facebook, Heather confirmed that she is a “former Sword Swallower & Fire Eater at Coney Island USA.”
She’s also a two-time Guinness World Record holder for her extraordinary talent. Last year, Heather shared a video of herself accepting her award.
Captioning the clip she wrote: “The look on my face when they surprised me with my 2ND Guinness World Record! I was completely clueless since I don’t speak any Italian Never forgetting this moment!”
