Running rings around the competition! Scantily-clad Lisa Sampson captivates BGT judges with athletic hula hoop routine
While Britain's Got Talent has seen some unusual acts - including a dancing dog - impress audiences over the years, Lisa Sampson may have set a new precedent.
The 35-year-old fitness instructor was able to win over a stone-faced Simon Cowell and his panel of celebrity judges by putting on a captivating hula hoop routine during Saturday night's episode.
Wearing a sequinned skimpy two-piece, the brunette writhed around to the sounds of The Surfaris' 1960s surf rock classic Wipe Out as she transformed herself into a giant, multi-coloured slinky.

Once her routine came to an end - receiving a standing ovation from the judges and audience, Simon was quick to shower praise on the tattooed beauty.
'Fantastic,' he exclaimed. 'I love that whole '50s pin-up thing that you do ... and you're really cute and enthusiastic and fun.'
As she prepared to start her routine, she clumsily introduced herself backstage to hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as she said: 'I've peed myself... Not peed myself, but I've been to the toilet loads.'
