The fearless troupe were seen using each other as skipping ropes and tossing themselves down from tall human towers.

Judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon spent the entire audition gasping and screaming in shock and amazement.

Even co-host Ant McPartlin begged them not to continue as they prepared to throw a young girl high into the air.

The Freaks were given a standing ovation from Amanda and Alesha, along with their fellow judges Simon Cowell and David Walliams.

David told The Freaks: "Well that was utterly terrifying and thrilling and one of the most extraordinary things we've seen on Britain's Got Talent."

Yet the group only got four yeses, meaning they will now have to continue fighting for a place in this year's live semi-final.

A press of the BGT Golden Buzzer would have automatically put them through to the penultimate stage of the competition.

Taking to Twitter to share their annoyance, fans described the move as "outrageous".

One disgruntled viewer tweeted: "No golden buzzer for #thefreaks . Outrageous."

Another added: "Omg how the hell did they not get the golden buzzer wtf they where amazing #Thefreaks #BritainsGotTalent."

A third ranted: "That was IN-CRED-IBLE. Never mind half baked comedians and singers that are already famous, THAT is talent and they should have had a golden buzzer."

An one fan moaned: "I bet some of the judges regretted giving their golden buzzers away far too early on far less impressive acts. #thefreaks really did deserve a #GoldenBuzzer - original, daring, dangerous, superbly done."
