The latest golden buzzer in Britain\u2019s Got Talent live semi-finals this year has been pressed, sending another act through to the final.<\/p>\n
The fourth semi-final of BGT 2026 aired tonight (May 16), as eight more acts battled it out for a place in this year’s final in two weeks.<\/p>\n
In each semi-final this year, one judge has the power to press the golden buzzer and send an act straight into the final, with Simon Cowell deciding this evening.<\/p>\n
They will be joined in the final by the winner of tonight’s semi-final show, decided through the public vote and revealed at the end of the show.<\/p>\n
Who was awarded the golden buzzer in the fourth BGT 2026 semi-final?<\/p>\n
The fourth semi-final tonight saw the following acts take part:<\/p>\n
Wei Yamin – music\/pyrotechnics act<\/p>\n

Rafferty Coope – magician and KSI’s golden buzzer during the audition stages<\/p>\n
At the start of the show, Simon Cowell questioned what would happen if he did not press his golden buzzer for any acts.<\/p>\n
Ant and Dec informed him that it would revert to the old format and the top two acts in the public vote would go through.<\/p>\n

Judge KSI was left in floods of tears, saying: “It really hit me.<\/p>\n
“I know my relationship with my dad isn’t the best, so hearing those words, it makes me really think about what I need to improve on.”<\/p>\n
Alesha said the performance was “magic”, adding: “It makes us feel something and I watched the whole thing with a smile on my face.”<\/p>\n
