The presenting duo introduced the judges who made a grand entrance walking through the sliding doors at the back of the stage.
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli confidently walked out to a cheering audience.
The quartet were joined by a very special guest in the form of KSI who served as a judge earlier this series for the auditions.
Some viewers were quick to point out that producers did not give the internet personality his own red buzzer or the large ‘x’ sign on either the panel desk or on top of the stage like the other judges
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – one viewer claimed: “OOPS-They’ve forgotten to add a buzzer sign for KSI!”
A second noted: “KSI looks out of place sitting next to Alesha. They should’ve given him his own buzzer sign and extend the desk just for a week.
While a third said: “Poor KSI doesn’t even have his own buzzer on the panel. Bless him!”
However, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly soon revealed a huge twist.
The influencer would receive the honour of being the judge who is able to choose golden buzzer act for the evening.
This means an act of his choice would be sent directly to the grand final of Britain’s Got Talent.
However, viewers slammed the twist as being somewhat predictable as they claimed it was a ‘fix’.
Another angry fan commented: “#bgt KSI here to add another gold buzzer sigh
“Like we didn’t see KSI being given the Buzzer, f**, we all saw that coming,” wrote someone else.
As a sixth stated: “SO KSI is back and it’s his week for the golden Buzzer-Evening everyone!,” along with a sarcastic GIF.
BGT’s Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer’s over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company – Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny – Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
While a seventh sarcastically posted: ‘”Kindly’ as though it was off the cuff and not totally planned or agreed who he’ll give it too.”
And another added: “So I think we can guess who will get that. Same as Alesha’s gold buzzer last week. Fix.”
