An America's Got Talent contestant has horrified viewers with a 'creepy' and 'gross' contortion routine.
Simon Cowell's talent show is full of surprises, as the best talent around the globe flocks to America to showcase their skills.
And while brilliant singers and the bog-standard dance groups do well every single year, we all like a bit different now and again, don't we?
Season 19 of the talent show kicked off recently, and we certainly got different.

Judges Simon, Sofia Vegara, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel all make a return for the latest offering of America's Got Talent.
And from the first round of auditions it was one particular girl from India who made all the headlines.
Arshiya, who came out onto the stage all shy, revealed it was her first time in America and even her first time out of India.
Admitting she was nervous, the 13-year-old said: "I am a dancer but I don’t want to be like others.
"I want to be different so, I tried doing gymnastics and added some flexibility moves into my dance to be different!"
The judges were all smiles before the addition, but those faces quickly turned upside down as Arshiya began her act.
After a few seconds of set preparation, the camera panned back to the stage that now featured a creepy dolls house along with a dozen dolls head.
I mean, it's something straight out of a horror movie.
At this point, the young girl is no where to be seen, as a confused audience and judges looked on.
But when she did appear, viewers were in for quite a fright.
Arshiya was dressed in a blood-spattered silk dress, frightening contact lenses, and had bloodied scratches all over her body.
She immediately crouched down and performed a number of body-bending motions.
“God, she’s changed!” Simon gasped as he looked on in disbelief.
The rest of the performance saw the girl perform a number of wonderful acrobats, though it remained terrifying as she continued to perform to the soundtrack of terrifying music.
All the while, you could hear gasps and screams from the audience.
The performance has even become the talk of the town on social media, with one particular thread on Reddit creating quite the debate.
"This is gross," one person declared, while a second added: "Who the hell also made this creepy song?"
Meanwhile, a third remarked: "As a horror fan, I loved that."
The AGT judges loved the performance as Arshiya went through to the next round with a 'yes' from each judge.
