Alex Magala's sword swallowing act was most certainly edge-of-your-seat stuff, but plenty of Britain's Got Talent viewers were distracted by the somewhat amusing 'do not try this at home' warnings tonight.

It's important info of course - ITV would soon be in trouble if they didn't show the warning message - but it just seemed a tad redundant given what Magala was doing.

After all, while there's plenty of ad breaks to get a few things done, it's unlikely to be a bit of sword swallowing mixed with dropping from a pole (blindfolded no less) towards spinning drills, is it?

I mean, who doesn't have this gear lying around?
