‘BGT’ Semifinals Wrap Up with a Magical Golden Buzzer Twist

Britain’s Got Talent Series 18 returned over the weekend for the last night of Semifinals before next week’s grand finale. Two more acts moved on — one thanks to the public vote, and the other thanks to a Golden Buzzer from returning guest judge KSI.v

KSI Hits Golden Buzzer During BGT Semifinals

During this week’s Semifinals episode, magician Harry Moulding returned to the stage to perform a new trick. This time, he had the judges choose seat numbers in the audience seemingly at random, before proving that he had predicted all of their choices before the show. 

But there was a twist involved in Harry’s act involving the final audience member, Jess. First, he brought Jess on stage and had her press play on a video showing him predicting everything that would happen during his act. Jess’ boyfriend (coincidentally also named Harry) turned out to be in the video with him.

Jess was shocked when her boyfriend then showed up in person during the live show to propose to her on stage. He got down on one knee with a ring, and Jess said yes. The crowd cheered, and the judges gave Harry a standing ovation for the exciting performance.

Before the BGT panel could share their thoughts, guest judge KSI pressed the Golden Buzzer for Harry’s performance. Earlier in the show, hosts Ant & Dec announced that they were handing their Golden Buzzer privileges for the episode over to KSI, who had joined the regular four judges at the desk.

When reacting to Harry’s Golden Buzzer performance, judge Amanda Holden said that he brought magic to a “complete other level.” Simon Cowell called Harry “the frontrunner” in the competition as he heads into the Series 18 finale, warning the other finalists that they should be nervous.
