Who else has got a golden buzzer so far in BGT 2026?<\/p>\n
\n 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\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n The third golden buzzer was awarded to entertainment act Antigravity by Alesha Dixon.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n The judges said it was one of the best performances in the show’s 19-year history, and the first of its kind.\n<\/p>\n
\n Amanda Holden awarded her golden buzzer to the 34-person choir made up entirely of real British farmers.\n<\/p>\n
\n It was created as a promotional and campaigning project linked to Jeremy Clarkson\u2019s Hawkstone beer and cider brand.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
