BGT judges Simon, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were amazed when JD 'The Iceman' snapped baseball bats in half and smashed through blocks of ice with his head on stage at the London Palladium.

The blocks got bigger with each stunt and he finally charged through a long row of blocks before falling to the floor with blood seeping from a nasty gash.

An onlooker told The Sun: "You expect weird acts but this guy was smashing ice on his head.

"Amanda was ­visibly wincing each time the blocks of ice got bigger but Simon appeared to be loving it.

"It ended with JD running into a giant block of ice and smashing it up, causing the audience to gasp.

"It soon became clear he was in pain and blood could be seen coming out of his head.

"Medics obviously had to intervene, making sure that he was OK and hadn’t given himself a concussion.

"It looked like it hurt but there was no ­lasting harm done."

The strongman made it through to the next round, but David asked: "You're bleeding a bit from your head… are you okay?"

The strongman replied: "I don't feel it, I'm just happy to be here."

Reacting on Twitter to his offbeat act, one viewer said: "I hate these sort of acts. He’s like actually bleeding! I don’t want to see drowning magicians and I don’t want to see head butting walls of ice"

Another said: "Sorry putting JD the strong man act through is feckin irresponsible"
