Britain’s Got Talent viewers weren’t impressed by the studio audience as Alesha Dixon chose an act to go straight to the live final. Week two of the live semi-finals got under way and viewers of the ITV competition let their feelings be known as the judge gifted LMA an automatic route through.
The 66-person dance troop, Sadeck Berrabah & LMA, from the Liverpool Media Academy (LMA) University took to the stage and put on a stunning display that more than matched their impressive audition. After Simon labelled it “gobsmackingly beautiful” and called it the best live performance to date, it was left up to Alesha to have her say.
And she did just that. She said: “Do you remember what I said to you in the auditions. That if I had a golden buzzer, I would have given it to you.”

She then rose to her feet to smash the buzzer and cause the confetti to rain down on the act, leaving them in tears.
Viewers on Twitter/X were pleased with the call, too. One user wrote: “They definitely deserved the golden buzzer #bgt #britainsgottalent” Another added: “Well deserved golden buzzer !!#BritainsGotTalent”
A third commented: “LMA act was so beautiful and deserved the golden buzzer. They could use fans for the final. #BGT #BritainsGotTalent.”
But, despite many agreeing it was a well deserved choice, it was the audience that received complaints online. One user wrote: “The audience screaming “Push The Gold” like they haven’t shouted that after every act! #BGT #BritainsGotTalent“
Another moaned: “#BritainsGotTalent Mute the b****y audience…” And a third said: “The audience on #BGT is ruining the show. It’s like a mob. It would be much better if the audience did the shouting and screaming when the judges stop talking. #BritainsGotTalent.”
Earlier in the show, Stacey Solomon also moved to shut down rumours she is headed for a divorce from Joe Swash. The former X Factor star, 36, was in the audience to take in her own Golden Buzzer act from the auditions.
And she did so sitting alongside former EastEnders star Joe – and wearing her wedding band. While her favourites didn’t get the buzzer once again, they certainly left their mark on the show.
Braunstone Community Primary School from Leicestershire put on an energetic performance guided once again by their head teacher.
And former head teacher, Halil Tamugus, who appeared in the audition as Mr T and created the concept, revealed it was his decision for the kids to spray silly string all over judge Simon Cowell.
The judges were also divided by act Katherine who yet again graced the stage – initially without her husband Joe who she had previously auditioned with. While Alesha and KSI red crossed the hopeful, Amanda Holden and Simon let their lights on – with Simon joking Amanda should sign them up.
After KSI criticised the performance, Joe hit back offering the judge out for a boxing match. Dec joked: “This is getting like I’m A Celebrity again – not again.” as hopeful Katherine’s husband went on.
As they shut him down, Ant said: “Sorry about Joe there.”
