The daredevil, whose real name is Austin Punton, was slammed for "swallowing" knives with the warning: "Please do not try this at home".
However, the deterrent wasn't enough for 129 people who complained about the act - as well as moans about racy performer Akira who stripped off on stage.
If Ofcom considers that a broadcast may have breached its codes, it will start an investigation.
Auzzy didn't make it through to the final, having been beaten in the public vote by singer Vinnie McKee.

A show rule change also meant that judge Amanda Holden sent The Blackouts through to the final with her Golden Buzzer advantage.
Viewers complained about Auzzy's act in their droves, with one writing on social media: "This is the most disgusting act i’ve ever seen i literally cannot even look."
"OMG it's Auzzy blood. This act is disgusting and not for family viewing," said another.
Someone else wrote: "The Auzzy Blood is a NO from me."
