horror-themed performance <\/a>took a gruesome turn.<\/p>\n<p>The annual talent show returned to the screen last Saturday (February 22) and Auzzy Blood, a professional sword swallower, had

greet the panel with a sinister smile.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0three-time Guinness World Record holder proceeded to shock everyone with body manipulation and several graphic acts.<\/p>\n<p>The bold

771 complaints <\/p>\n<p>A spokeswoman for Ofcom said: ‘The vast majority of complaints were about Auzzy Blood\u2019s routine.
