A talent show contestant ruined his chances of winning when he crashed off the stage and landed on the judges . The karaoke king was performing Steppenwolf 's Born to be Wild at a strip club contest in Croydon , south London when he tumbled off the podium . Perhaps unsurprisingly , the stage-dive did n't help the singer 's shot at winning the competition and he missed out on the prize . Judges at a talent contest in Croydon were given a shock when one the performers fell off the stage . The performer attempted to grab the podium 's pole but missed and tumbled off the stage onto the judges . The accident happened at Larry Flynt 's Hustler Club last month during the final of the venue 's popular Talent Show night . A recording made of the evening shows the performer , who has not been named , belting out the rock classic on the club 's stage , which features a pole for the venue 's usual performers . In the footage , the man warms up the crowd by playing air guitar and posturing before attempting to swing around the pole at the centre of the stage . But the man 's hand passes several inches from the pole and he flies past it and - to screams from the crowd - falls straight off the stage and on to the line of judges . Luckily , a judge manages to move out of the way as the man falls and the performer hits the ground with a thud , but is said to be fine . The incident happened Larry Flynt 's Hustler Club in south London during a talent contest night last month . A contestant performing Steppenwolf 's Born to be Wild warmed up the crowd with some air guitar moves . The man then went for a party-piece move as he ran towards the pole in the centre of the stage to swing on it . But footage from the venue shows the man missing the pole completely and falling face-first , into the crowd . Uthania Jackson , manager of the club , was one of the judges and said the 'regular ' was uninjured and has since been back for more . She said : 'He was fantastic in the first heat and went straight into the final and was really getting into it , performing air guitar and everything . 'But he misjudged where the pole was by a few inches and landed on me . He did n't win unfortunately . 'He laughed it off and felt a bit embarrassed but carried on into the night . ' Mr Jackson was uninjured and instead chose to award the talent contest prize to a group of four women , called the 'Hustler Honeys ' , who performed a raunchy routine from Moulin Rouge on February 27 . The stage-dive could not have gone worse for the man 's chances of winning the contest as he landed on one of three judges lined up to choose the winner . To screams from the crowd , he fell between two of the judges ' chairs and landed with a thud on the floor . Uthania Jackson , the judge hit by the man , said neither were injured and the incident was laughed off .
