He then regurgitated the padlock (now enclosed the engagement ring) followed by the key. He recieved positive feedback from the audience and the 3 judges.

| Born | Glasgow, Scotland |
| Occupation | Professional regurgitator |
Stevie Starr is a performance artist who refers to himself as a professional regurgitator. His act consists of swallowing various items (lightbulbs, balloons, nails, billiard balls, dry sugar, goldfish) and regurgitating them. He has never described exactly how this is done, and the implausibility of some of his regurgitations have led some to believe that he is an illusionist.[1] Starr has appeared on many television shows, with several appearances on each of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Starr has a busy international touring schedule for his longer solo act.[2]
According to his live act and official biography,[2] Starr grew up in Glasgow, Scotland in a children's home so he was born in Scotland. He claims to have developed his talent in order to hide money. Starr claims to be the world's only "professional regurgitator", though similar acts do exist in modern and historical performance related to the geek show tradition.[citation needed]
Stevie auditioned for the fourth series of Britain's Got Talent. He appeared on an episode which was broadcast on 24 April 2010, swallowing numbered coins and a billiard ball and then regurgitated them on demand and in order.[citation needed]
