A surprising appearance
Amanda Holden recently revealed that she thought she was going to be fired from Britain's Got Talent after her daughter Hollie and Simon Cowell's son Eric stormed the panel during a recent episode of the show. The children even went as far as to press the golden buzzer, sending Japanese double dutch dancers Haribow through to the live semi-finals.
An unexpected turn of events
Despite the judges having already used their golden buzzers for the season, the audience's overwhelming support for Haribow led to a unique moment in BGT history. Simon Cowell even handed over the decision to the children in the audience, creating a new 'audience buzzer' for the first time on the show.
Reactions and responses
The judges, including Amanda, Simon, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli, were taken aback by the turn of events. Simon Cowell expressed his surprise at the audience's reaction, with Alesha mentioning that she had none of her buzzers left. Meanwhile, Spencer Morgan, son of Piers Morgan, expressed his envy at the new concept, wishing it had been around during his father's time as a judge on the show.
Controversy and criticism
While the moment was hailed as a game-changer by many, some viewers accused the show of staging the incident. Despite the mixed reactions, the 'audience buzzer' introduced a fresh and unexpected element to the popular talent show.
