Game of Talents fans ‘traumatised’ as woman performs with tarantulas on her face
It’s a gameshow that has contestants and viewers guessing and arachnophobe fans were ‘traumatised’ when one of the acts on Game of Talents placed tarantulas on her face.
Hollywood’s Diana Terranova performed to Marilyn Monroe’s Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend with her eight-legged friends sharing the limelight with her.
At first the contestants and viewers thought she might be a singing impressionist on the ITV show, which challenges people to guess the performers’ hidden talents from a list of options.
But as Diana got further into the routine she revealed she had company on the stage.
Viewers took to Twitter to air their shock as she involved her spiders in the ultra-glam routine.
“Came in the living room to see a woman with spiders on her face.. traumatised,” tweeted one.
“I wouldn’t deal with that spider on my face,” said another.
“This woman with a bare tarantula on her face though. I can’t go to sleep if there’s a spider in my room!” exclaimed another viewer.
