A Britain's Got Talent-style TV show ended in chaos in Germany when three acts needed medical treatment after their live performances went wrong in front of millions of viewers.

First 16-year-old singer Laura Pinski almost choked to death on glitter confetti as it showered down on her just as she was breathing in to hit the high note for her big finish.

Laura was seen struggling for breath and presenter Daniel Hartwich had to rush onto the stage with a glass of water to help clear her throat.
