Hot fire-breather dubbed the 'Human Giraffe' reveals all about circus life

A SEXY contortionist, who can wrap herself in knots, opens up about stalker superfans and becoming an internet sensation.

BENDY: Beth Sykes is one of the UK's top contortionists

As a top stilt-walking, fire-eating contortionist who travels the world as a circus performer, you would have thought that Beth Sykes had seen it all.

But the 22-year-old award-winning gymnast, known as the Human Giraffe, was flabbergasted when a stalker superfan approached her via social media with one very bizarre request.

Speaking exclusively to Dailystar.co.uk, Beth said: “You do get strange people who like to drop you a message on Facebook every so often.

“I once had a guy message me and tell me that he’d like to wrap me in cling film in a contortion pose. I didn’t get back to that one.”

WILD THING: Beth became known as the 'human giraffe' after this viral snap

It’s easy to see how the Leeds-born beauty has amassed such a dedicated fanbase – which also includes a “special German fan” called Stefan who messages her annually.

The talented brunette first became an internet sensation after an image of her contorting while camouflaged as a giraffe went viral overnight.

VIDEO: BETH IS UBER-FLEXIBLE 

Racking up 100,000 hits in just three days, Beth’s lithe figure was made to look like the African animal by talented body-painting pal Emma Fay – creating a classic double take snap that online fiends couldn’t get enough of.

Bendy Beth’s mind-boggling talents have seen her travel the world flexing her body in a giant martini glass on stage with the likes of Skrillex and Annie Mac, and her eye-popping line of work isn’t always so glamorous.

The acrobatics star said: “It varies, you could be working at some little nightclub in a town that no-one has ever heard of, then the next minute you could be performing in front of celebrities at a big high-profile event abroad somewhere."

CROWD PLEASER: The gymnast has performed on stage in front of thousands

“When you’re stilt-walking you can get some drunken idiots," she said. “It’s usually more the ladies who like to grab a bit of ass."

"They think because they are women too that you aren’t going to be bothered. It can get a little frustrating at times," she added. 

DRAGON GIRL: Beth has tons of circus skills like fire-breathing

But it was drenching the stage white fluid while storming a freakshow club that left a lasting impression.

She said: “I was in this quite a quirky club so I saw some very weird things go on.

"There was a performer who pierced himself with needles, then stuck candles to the needles and danced around singing happy birthday to himself.

“They also have little guys that they dress up as babies and then a drummer will bang on their heads pretending to play the drums."

FLEXIBLE: The beauty has travelled the world performing

She continued: “I did a show there with another gymnast. We did a Dubstep version of The Aristocats’ Everybody Wants To Be A Cat.

"We did a duo contortion routine while dressed as cats, and at the end we had to pour milk everywhere.

“That was different, it didn’t smell too pleasant. But you know, it’s a job.”
