The rapper was helping the judge whittle down her acts in a safari resort in South Africa.

However, he was forced to run away from the performing area after being attacked by an insect.

Stormzy jumped up from his seat and confessed he was scared of insects.

He left Nicole dumbstruck before she joked: "Well thank god there's no animals around. You were lightning fast babe."
