The mysterious performer in Monday's semi-final asked the judges what scared them.

‘I can invoke your deepest, darkest fear,' they began.

Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda had to reach into a box and pick up what was inside.

The visibly terrified Amanda pulled out a piece of paper that had the word 'rodents' in bold.

After the lid was lifted, Amanda and Alesha saw a rat on the panel and ran.
