Inside BGT acrobat’s Itzel Salvatierra stunning Mexican home with huge ceilings and sun soaked garden
ITZEL Salvatierra has given fans a glimpse into her stunning Mexican home.
The aerialist recently blew away the Britain’s Got Talent judges as she executed her death-defying stunts live on stage.
The Mexican native flew in especially to audition for UK judges, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli.
Itzel shared a look into her beautiful home on her Instagram page.
In a clip showcasing her aerial skills, a spacious room with high ceilings was visible, providing an ideal space for her practice.
The room was equipped with everything she needed, including a large landing mat, mirrors, and aerial rings.
Filled with sunlight streaming in from the sun-soaked garden outside, the room was bathed in light.
During her jaw-dropping audition on BGT, Itzel managed to balance her body in a plank position despite being spun in circles.
Itzel then took the stunt a step further by balancing on the hoop with her waist only, letting go of her grip.
The aerialist then manoeuvered herself so only her neck was holding her up, as the rest of her body hung in the air.
The star received a standing ovation and was sent through by all four judges.
Her performance was particularly remarkable after she revealed her struggle with fibromyalgia, a condition which often leaves her feeling fatigued.
However, after her audition fans began to do some investigations into her background as eagle-eyed viewers reckon they’d seen her talents before.
Fans found out that Itzel is already a star in her own right and has performed in the iconic Cirque Du Soleil troupe.
She previously spoke of her starring role in the huge production after an audition in Mexico City in 2010.
In a chat with website fpsfitness.co.uk she said: “After that I was asked to perform in a special event for 45 Degrees, which is Cirque du Soleil’s special events company, which was a dream come true.
“I remember thinking ‘I did it! My dream is done! If I don’t go further than this I’m super grateful.
“I hoped to get into a show, but I did it! I was there.
“Then the year after that I got asked to perform in ‘Quidam’ which was the show that inspired me to become a circus artist.
“It was a lot. It was very, very exciting.”
