The women dash away from the desk and Alesha, 43, refuses to return from her safe spot in the theatre’s stalls.

Amanda, 51, shrieks: “This is why I’ve never gone on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! It’s horrible.”

And Alesha yells: “I’m socially distancing from the cockroaches!”

The Britain's Got Talent judge would not return to her chair until the critters were cleared away.

An audience member told The Sun: “It was hilarious for us watching of course, the girls screaming and falling over themselves to get away from it all.

“But with those fancy dresses on, you could see that they were getting annoyed.

The drama begins when the witch approaches the judges’ desk and hands Amanda an apple, saying: “You know why they always say beauty is only skin deep? Because we’re all rotten to the core!”

At that point the apple explodes and maggots and cockroaches fall from the fruit.

Speaking exclusively this week, Amanda said: “I screamed the place down during the start of her act, it was just so freaky.

“This apple suddenly smashed and out poured all these maggots and cockroaches all over the desk, you have to watch it to believe it.

“You just know straight away that it's going to be an act that we'll probably see more of.

Elsewhere in the Hammersmith Apollo audition, the Manchester Community Primary Academy perform a sketch where they become mini me versions of the judges and hosts Ant and Dec.
