Amanda Holden has compared a new Britain's Got Talent singer to a global superstar, as the brand new series sets a record for golden buzzer acts, who are fast-tracked straight to the live finals.
Previously, there were always five golden buzzers - one for each judge and one for the duo Ant and Dec but this year saw a total of nine, with some judges unable to contain their excitement over the performances they witnessed.
Judge Simon Cowell addressed the abundance of talent in the new series, which hits ITV screens this weekend, as he said: "I thought there were about another 17 acts who easily could have had a golden buzzer.
"That's how good the talent is this year. I don't think it matters. I mean, we don't want to get to the point where you've got 20 golden buzzer acts, but I think eight or nine is fine."
At 64, the show boss expressed his delight at the newfound fervour this season, which left producers scrambling to maintain some control, the Mirror reports.
Cowell likened the experience to being back in school, saying, "The teachers keep coming in saying, 'You know, can we try and keep the golden buzzers down? ' And they know we've got absolutely no intention whatsoever of doing that."
During the auditions, which took place in Manchester and London, Simon Cowell was amused when Bruno Tonioli got so excited that he actually broke the buzzer.
Finding the situation quite comical, he chuckled as he said: "I just knew something like that was going to happen.
"I love it when things go wrong or the unexpected happens, otherwise it's boring."
Simon is optimistic about this year's Britain's Got Talent, believing it will captivate viewers with its "heart, great stories and things we'd never seen before" which are all key elements to
