BGT fans complain over ridiculous golden buzzer rule
Simon Cowell awarded the golden buzzer to young guitarist Olly Pearson but after a few more acts, the judge almost pressed it again.
Cheers erupted from the studio audience and the dance group also started to get excited at the thought of being a golden buzzer act in the semi-final.
A post shared by Britain's Got Talent (@bgt)
BGT presenters Ant and Dec told Simon that the golden buzzer wouldn't work a second time, meaning Cheer Re-man's wouldn't go through to the final even if he pressed it.
BGT fans took to X to share their thoughts on the golden buzzer being available in the semi-final.
One said: 'Honestly get rid of that stupid golden buzzer! The audience should shut up! #BGT'.
Another commented: 'It's unfair this golden buzzers it's ridiculous #BGT'.
Someone else said: 'That was so awkward Bruno seemed to hold back on the golden buzzer so Simon could press it and then he never did and told them to move back ??? What a mess #bgt #britainsgottalent'.
Amanda pressed the golden buzzer after his first audition, meaning he has received two golden buzzers during his time on the show.
After he received tonight's golden buzzer, a viewer shared their reaction on X, writing: "Well deserved golden buzzer! How good was Olly Pearson? First person in #BGT history to achieve not one but TWO golden buzzers. And imagine having a grandad as cool as his. This kid needs to go far!"

Ofcom reject 14,000 Love Island complaints over bullying and gaslighting after ‘most complained about series in 4 years'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island will not be investigated by Ofcom - despite receiving more than 14,000 complaints about misogyny, bullying and mentally abusive behaviour. The last series of the show, which was won by Toni and Cach, was inundated with complaints throughout - making it the most offensive in four years. 4 Ofcom will not be taking action about any of the Love Island complaints Credit: Eroteme 4 Meg was accused of bullying during her time on the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In just one week of the show Ofcom received 9,000 complaints about alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira. It was the second most complained about Love Island week in history - the first was season seven when Faye Winter kicked off after Casa Amor with total of 29,101 in just one week. Despite viewer's concern, the regulator will not be taking any further action. A spokesperson said."We carefully assessed the complaints we received about this series of Love Island. "We recognise that emotionally charged or confrontational scenes can upset some viewers. "But, in our view, negative behaviour in the villa was not shown in a positive light, and contestants were seen supporting or apologising to each other. "We also took into account that the format of this reality show is well-established, and viewers would expect to see highs and lows as relationships and friendships are tested." Ofcom received 14,167 complaints about the ITV reality series, including 24 about spin-off show Love Island: Unseen Bits, with the highest number of complaints coming on July 24, which saw 3,549 complaints relating to alleged bullying behaviour towards contestant Shakira Khan. Other complaints related to further alleged bullying of Khan, as well as fellow contestants Toni Laites, Yasmin Pettet, Meg Moore and Helena Ford, concern over contestants' mental health throughout the series, and Dejon Noel-Williams's behaviour towards Meg. Further complaints were made about the show's producers bringing contestant Megan Forte Clarke back onto the programme after she was dumped from the villa, and alleged race and gender based discrimination. Love Island's 12th series ran from June 9 to August 4 and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer took home the £50k, while Khan and Harry Cooksley finished as runners-up.
