power
to press the infamous golden buzzer and send one act straight through to the Britain's Got Talent grand final.

When the judges had their say after the celebrations, Simon issued a notice to the other acts who have made it, as he called Harry the 'front-runner'.
However, viewers were not so impressed, as they took to social media in droves claiming the act was completely 'set up'.
Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one fan wrote: "What the f*** do they expect him to do for the final now?? Biggest fix ever, magic my bloody a***."
A second claimed: "Utterly rigged and the trick itself was too grand and ridiculous it shouldn't even be called magic. I know exactly how he did it, it was rigged."

"Cowell said this boring idiot is the frontrunner - so if he wins (despite everyone watching losing the will to live) you'll know that this trashy, s***** programme is fixed," fumed a third fan.
As someone else stated: "That was either an amazing magic trick or there was some absolute collusion going on there. Decent act but had to have been
set
up
somehow."
And a fifth added: "That wasn't magic, it was obviously set up. He doesn't deserve the golden buzzer!"
