The Regurgitator reveals how his talent works

Britain's Got Talent contestant Stevie Starr, known as The Regurgitator, has spoken about his bizarre skill.

The 47 year-old made it through to the first live semi-final of the TV talent show by swallowing household objects and regurgitating them at will, in any given order, still dry.

Starr revealed how he first performed the trick as a child at school, swallowing live bees which he brought back up alive, and chalk, which came back up dry.

Describing how the trick works Starr said: "When the objects are inside of course they're wet. When they're returning, it's like a vacuum inside, I'm able to just dry them as they're making their way up."

Although failing to make it to the final of Britain's Got Talent, Starr said he had done the best he could and hoped the audience had enjoyed his performance.
