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.
