Simon Cowell appeared to have developed a rebellious streak during Saturday’s round of Britain’s Got Talent auditions, when he broke protocol to hit the golden buzzer for a second time this series. As regular viewers will know, the judges are only permitted to press the golden buzzer once every series, to place their favourite act directly into the live semi finals - with Simon having already used his buzzer to pick 13 year old Treble singer, Malakai Bayoh.
However in a clear deviation from the usual rules, Simon pressed his golden buzzer again on Saturday after having fallen head over heels for Unity’s performance. The Irish dance troupe were all comprised of students from the same college and wanted to perform a piece that showed that all students had a place, no matter their race, gender, background or disability.
One standout performer, was a young woman with Down’s syndrome who introduced herself and signed a component of the performance.The empowering performance moved audiences and the judges to tears, with several fans taking to social media to applaud the inclusivity and creativity of the act. One fan took to social media to comment: “We only have 1 life so why can't we live the life we see that will make us the happiest.
F**k the doubters, the haters and the vile filled bigots jealous because they are miserable in their petty lives. You matter!” Before a second added: “That was beautiful! Well done Unity!” Strangely, this series, Simon isn’t the only judge to have pressed his buzzer twice, as new judge Bruno Tonioli also infamously pressed his buzzer to allow both Ghetto Kids and singer Gamal John to progress.
