Who else has got a golden buzzer so far in BGT 2026?
Simon’s golden buzzer was the sixth of the series, with KSI, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, Ant & Dec, and Simon himself having already pressed it once this series
Simon was the first to press the gold in the opening episode, to Australian para athlete Paul Nunnari, who blew away the judging panel with his incredible wheelchair stunts.
KSI awarded the second golden buzzer of the series to 16-year-old magician Rafferty Coope, whose trick involved making a coin pass through solid glass and a card trick that led to him playing the song Don’t Stop Believing on the piano.
The third golden buzzer was awarded to entertainment act Antigravity by Alesha Dixon.
Their audition followed one of the actors as they floated around on a screen, following routes and paths as if they were in a video game.
The judges said it was one of the best performances in the show’s 19-year history, and the first of its kind.
Amanda Holden awarded her golden buzzer to the 34-person choir made up entirely of real British farmers.
It was created as a promotional and campaigning project linked to Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone beer and cider brand.
Finally, Ant and Dec’s golden buzzer was given to comedian Ted Hill, who incorporated a PowerPoint presentation and videos into his stand-up set.
