Britain's Got Talent welcomed a skating duo to the stage last night and their performance wowed the auditorium.
Rosie, 21, and Adam, 38, revealed they had never skated in front of an audience before pulling off a number of thrilling lifts - including a headbanger.
Amazingly, the couple claimed that they had only been training their rollerblading skills together for three months before their audition on the ITV talent show - prior to which they had both ice skated.
Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams were stunned by the action-packed routine and sent the duo through got the next round.

However, viewers could not believe that the skating duo had only been skating together for such a short period of time.
One said: "This is absolute b******t, there is no way that they have only been skating for 3 months and this is their first performance!! They've been doing this for years!! Do they honestly think we're all that stupid?? #BGT #BritainsGotTalent"
A second asked: "Did I hear right, they only met 3 months ago..? Hmmm. #bgt."
"There's no way those rollerbladers have only been together 3 months! #bgt," said a fourth.
However many of the viewers were utterly astounded by the act's rollerskating skills.
One exclaimed: "Those skating couple.... wow. I am amazed. #BGT @BGT #BGT."
Another viewer defended the duo, adding: "I have no idea why folk are saying the skating couple have not been together and performed only 3 months.
"In 'Dancing on Ice' contestants who have had no training on the ice, are expected to do the headbanger and the whirly bird within a 8 weeks so why are these guys lying?"
Other gave their support, with one writing: "I absolutely love the roller skating couple! #BGT."
"Wow this skating.. finally an act that I like. #BGT," praised another.

Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Britain's Got Talent to comment on these claims.
Since the show, Rosie and Adam have spoken to The Sun Online about praciticing the routine before the audition.
In the interview Rosie explained: "Although some of the tricks have been done on ice, going on the rollers is completely different.
"It was a new thing for both of us. Adam has roller skated in the past, I definitely haven't. It's something completely new for us as a pair."
Adam added: "Because of Rosie's skills and the fact she can pick things up so quickly, this is much more acrobatic."
Later on in the show, Alesha Dixon sent an act through to semi finals using her Golden Buzzer opportunity.
Both the audience and the judges were amazed when 10-year-old Giorgia Borg took to the stage and sang a rendition of "10", an original song she had penned.
The schoolgirl received a standing ovation from all four judges including Alesha, who remarked: "That's how you do it!"
Simon began by saying that when he woke up this morning he knew today was going to be a "great day."

"I have a son who is five and I listen to him, not the other way around. I learn a lot more from him than other people so I get it and it was amazing," he continued.
Then it was time for David to give his comments but before he could finish Alesha hit the Golden Buzzer and joined Giorgia on stage to give her a hug.
She said: "You're not even real, congratulations. It takes a lot to really move me and you floored me, absolutely floored me.
"Your vocal capability, you lyrical capability, you're 10 years old, this is unbelievable, you're a star. I love everything about you."
