Simon Cowell was left astonished during Britain's Got Talent's semi-final on Saturday (10 May) when a former contestant made an unexpected return to the ITV talent programme.
Amidst the various performers, the episode also featured a live performance from 2024 BGT champion Sydnie Christmas and cast members of the West End musical Just For One Day.
Following an impressive act by the ensemble, presenters Ant and Dec joined the stage to chat with one of the vocalists, Fayth Ifil.
Dec announced: "And Fayth here was on the show back in 2020, Simon's Golden Buzzer! Welcome home! How is it being back at BGT?"

"It feels incredible. Absolutely insane. It's so good to see you again, Simon. I'm so glad to be with an amazing show with an amazing cast," expressed Fayth.
Dec continued the conversation: "You're hitting the West End soon! Tell us a bit about that."
Fayth elaborated on Just For One Day, set to feature at London's Old Vic Theatre, noting: "The show is based on Live Aid, which happened 40 years ago and the best thing about the show is it's raising money for the Band Aid Trust. We've already hit £750,000, and by the end of the year, we're hoping to raise £2million."
With wishes of luck to Fayth and her co-stars, Dec concluded: "We can't wait to come and see the show."
