Who was awarded the last golden buzzer in the fifth BGT 2026 semi-final?<\/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.<\/p>\n
Tonight KSI, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Simon Cowell pressed the golden buzzer together, following an “epic” drone display from Celestial.<\/p>\n
Following the performance, Dixon said: “That was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen on this show.”<\/p>\n
Cowell, after initially struggling to find the right words to describe the act, added: “That was one of the most beautiful, incredible productions we’ve had on this show for years.”<\/p>\n
He continued: “I don’t think it gets better than that.”<\/p>\n
The four judges then stepped up and pressed the golden buzzer together, much to the delight of the audience.<\/p>\n
Viewers agreed that Celestial’s semi-final act was “absolutely amazing”.<\/p>\n
One fan, commenting on Instagram, said: “This is beyond anything I have ever seen on this show! I\u2019m not a fan of drones, but what these guys do with them is just magical!!<\/p>\n
“An act like this has never won the show before, but I think these guys could do it! What a brilliant performance, they thoroughly deserved that golden buzzer!”<\/p>\n
They will be joined in the final by the winner of tonight’s semi-final, decided through the public vote and revealed at the end of the show.<\/p>\n
