The episode titled, Sidemen’s Got Talent, was created by the viral streamers, The Sidemen, who have 11.2 million subscribers on the video sharing platform.
Closely following the Britain’s Got Talent format, YouTubers TBJZL and Vikkstar123 hosted the show and Zerkaa, KSI, WS2, Miniminter and Behzinga judged the acts.
Johnny is no stranger to danger and currently holds 13 Guinness World Records for various acts including fire eating, whip cracking and chainsaw juggling.
During the show Johnny upped the ante and asked KSI to remove the swallowed sword for him.
Olajide “JJ” Olatunji, better known as KSI, said: “Oh my God, I thought it was fake but it’s a real sword!”
The hour-long Sidemen's Got Talent episode has been viewed more than six millions times.
Johnny then went on to perform one of his signature stunts, lifting a beer keg with his ear piercings.
Unfortunately this caused Miniminter to press his buzzer, he said: “I just want to clear it up. It makes me very uneasy so I had to press my buzzer.
"We actually reacted to you the other day. We saw you on video and just thought wow.”
