Britain’s Got Talent viewers claimed one singer was “robbed” of a golden buzzer.
The ITV talent competition returned tonight, with Stacey Solomon stepping in for Simon Cowell as she joined KSI, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden on the judging panel.
The variety show on Saturday evening saw another round of auditions, with a stuntman, a magic trio, and a school group taking to the stage.
Rounding off the episode, dad-of-three Nic Vani stunned audiences with his rendition of The Lion King’s Circle of Life.
“In my music career, I’ve always been at the back, so now I think it’s time for me to be in the spotlight,” he said.

After his incredible performance, the judges were blown away, with KSI saying, “Nic, I’m speechless, you weren’t in the thick of it, you owned it. That was phenomenal, your vocals were so crisp, clean, and made the crowd go crazy.”
He added, “You’re not a backup, you are the main event.”
Amanda praised: “I couldn’t agree more, the clarity of your voice, you’ve got such an amazing tone, I mean, you really, really made that song your own, it’s obviously a very familiar song, but I don’t know why, it felt like I was hearing it for the first time. What a star.”
Stacey added, “I loved every bit of that. You’ve got such a powerful voice, the fact you can get that high was just incredible.”

“Loved the polished tone to your voice, absolutely superb, can’t wait to see more of you, you deserve to be at the front of that stage,” Alesha said.
Viewers couldn’t agree more, though several fumed Nic had been robbed of a golden buzzer, which would propel him straight to the live semi-finals.
Typically, each judge and Ant and Dec get to press the buzzer for one act they see at the audition stages, with Stacey giving hers to a group of school children earlier in tonight’s episode.

One viewer fumed: “#BritainsGotTalent golden buzzer baffles me. Actual talented people don’t seem to get it.”
Another slammed: “Sorry, how did he not get a golden buzzer??? ‘No one had any left’ idgaffffff Bruno used two before, pretty sure Simon’s used two as well, they make their own rules, bro, he deserved one.”
Someone else said, “Nick, you have one of the most beautiful male voices I’ve ever heard. Such a beautiful tone. What a star!”

“GOLDEN BUZZER WORTHY,” yet another viewer wrote, as one shared: “This is giving me goosebumps.”
