Britain's Got Talent fans stunned by 'amazing' pogo stick act with Ant & Dec stunt

Britain's Got Talent returned to our screens once again this weekend for its 17th series, with a pogo stick act thrilling viewers.

Duncan Murray, 22, from Canada, came onto the stage completing stunts on a pogo stick.

He even got Ant & Dec involved, completing a trick where he jumped over the pair of them standing up.

It brought the crowd into rapturous applause, and Murray received four yeses from the judges.

Viewers were also impressed by Murray's stunts with many taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) to praise him.

One person wrote: "Pogo stick guy amazing best so far I can’t balance on a little one let alone do that so 10/10 #britainsgottalent #bgt".

Another shared: "The pogo stick guy is the first decent act tonight #bgt".

Meanwhile, another posted: "That Pogo Stick guy actually justified coming over from Canada, that was some proper talent #BritainsGotTalent".
