BGT fans complain over ridiculous golden buzzer rule
After dance act Cheer Re-man's performance, the audience shouted for the golden buzzer to be pressed but it can only be given to one act during the semi-final episodes and it had already been given by the time they performed. 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!"
