Two contestants receive the golden buzzer as Britain’s Got Talent returns to ITV
The show also took a gruesome turn when horror-themed act Auzzy Blood began to insert a number of metal items into his face.
A singer and a comedian who performed impressions of TV voiceovers have both received the golden buzzer as Britain’s Got Talent returned to ITV on Saturday.
Will Burns and Vinnie McKee were sent directly to the semi-final of the talent show after impressing judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, KSI, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon with their acts.
The first to receive the buzzer was Glaswegian holiday park entertainer McKee, who performed a soulful version of The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
After the performance, Cowell told him “I wasn’t expecting that, I’m actually quite speechless”, before pressing the buzzer after the audience chanted “press the gold”.
He asked the 29-year-old if he was professionally trained, to which he replied: “No, I just always sang from a young age, but I’ve been on the (entertainment) park since I was 18, so I’ve never really left.”
After pressing the buzzer, Cowell walked on to the stage as it was being covered in gold confetti and shook his hand, saying: “That was an absolutely spectacular version, incredible.”
