-Who are Britain's Got Talent's Golden Buzzer Acts
BRITAIN'S Got Talent has been faced with fresh 'fix' complaints from fans after the Golden Buzzer was given to someone that has appeared on multiple shows before.
Just minutes after Immi's fantastic audition, Japanese street magician Keiichi took to the stage.
But it has been revealed that he had auditioned for Italy’s version in 2016, Spain’s in 2019 and Bulgaria’s in 2021, while also auditioning last year for Germany’s Das Supertalent.
Keiichi even made it all the way to the semi finals of Italia’s Got Talent, and performed the same ring trick that he pulled Alesha Dixon on stage for.
Fans took to social media to complain about the decision.
One wrote on twitter: "So a former Italy, Bulgaria, and Spain’s got talent act gets the golden buzzer then... hardly an unknown."
A second vented: "Oh look, another golden buzzer for yet another professional act the producers have paid to perform in the UK."
And many commented on the show's official YouTube channel after they posted Keiichi's performance.

Britain’s Got Talent viewers convinced rejected comedian Tommy has a very famous dad
BRITAIN'S Got Talent viewers are convinced rejected comic Tommy J has a very famous dad - who is also a comedian.
Fans of the ITV smash hit took to social media in their droves last night speculating that the auditionee might be related to funny man Lee Evans.
18 year-old Tommy took to the stage in last night's show to audition for Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
He told the panel that his dad was a famous comedian - but that he was the funnier one out of the two.
His audition involved a mix of gags, a unicycle, knives and fire, while Ant and Dec even got roped into the act.
But he ended up rejected when an unimpressed Simon hit his red buzzer.
BGT fans slam ‘irresponsible’ show
BRITAIN'S Got Talent fans were stunned after a contestant's "irresponsible" act left them bleeding in front of the judges.
Medics came to the aid of JD Anderson — who has appeared on America’s Got Talent — in the latest round of auditions for Simon Cowell's show.
BGT judges Simon, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were amazed when JD 'The Iceman' snapped baseball bats in half and smashed through blocks of ice with his head on stage at the London Palladium.
The blocks got bigger with each stunt and he finally charged through a long row of blocks before falling to the floor with blood seeping from a nasty gash.
An onlooker told The Sun: "You expect weird acts but this guy was smashing ice on his head."
Reacting on Twitter to his offbeat act, one viewer said: "I hate these sort of acts. He’s like actually bleeding! I don’t want to see drowning magicians and I don’t want to see head butting walls of ice"
Another said: "Sorry putting JD the strong man act through is feckin irresponsible"
Another tweeted: "oh my goodness, he's bleeding , hitting that ice has gotta hurt….ouch."
Fans ‘figure out’ how Keiichi Iwasaki’s incredible ring trick is done
The Japanese street magician left the judges and audience gobsmacked as he invited judge Alesha Dixon to assist him in a mind-blowing illusion.
Taking direction from Keiichi, Alesha raises one finger and holds it in place while he shows off a ring.
Walking away from her he mysteriously says: "This ring, your finger."
With a flick of his hand the ring starts to spin at speed in the air.
Simon Cowell looks a bit terrified, but Keiichi's ring continues to hover through the air towards Alesha and the audience are transfixed.
The ring lands on Alesha's finger as Keiichi lets out a scream and the audience erupt.
But those watching at home think they have already cracked how he did it as they spotted a “device”.
One person commented: “You can see the device on his right middle finger.”
A second added: “He has something between his index and middle finger in her right hand, that probably does the trick but I don't know what it is.”
Britain’s Got Talent’s Bars & Melody unrecognisable
BRITAIN'S Got Talent stars Bars and Melody look very different to the days when they appeared as angelic youngsters on the show.
The lads, now in their 20s, are still going as a rap and R&B act, but will be forever remembered for their anti-bullying song on the show.
These days Charlie Lenehan - known as Melody - is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest.
But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries - who is Bars - with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
But life after the talent show hasn't all been plane sailing.
In 2016, Leondre’s father, Antonio Devries, filed a lawsuit against the duo alleging that Hopeful was his song, written about troubles he was having in his life.
He said that he was unhappy the pair moved away and that he was responsible for promoting Bars and Melody before they appeared on Britain’s Got Talent.
A statement issued at the time from the duo read: "Bars and Melody are sorry to hear that legal action is being threatened and hope that it will be resolved quickly and amicably."
BGT fans brand show a ‘fix’ as professional magician gets golden buzzer over child singer
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans branded the show a fix this evening after a magician ended up getting the golden buzzer.
Viewers felt that Keiichi Iwasaki was too professional and it should have gone to nine-year-old singer Immi Davis instead.
Keiichi is a well-known Japanese street magician, who has auditioned for the show in three other countries, including Italy in 2016, Bulgaria in 2021 and Spain in 2019 where he made it to the semi-finals.
Keiichi also auditioned for Germany's Das Supertalent last year.
Immi meanwhile is an up and coming singer, who blew the judges away with her rendition of I Put A Spell On You.
But Ant and Dec were mesmerised by the magician and decided to put him straight through on the show instead.
Taking to Twitter to discuss the golden buzzer, one person wrote: “Complete fix how many professionals/ known talent are going to get the golden buzzer this year #BritainsGotTalent.”
A second commented: “No way I'm sorry but that 9 year old should have got that golden buzzer tonight.”
While a third said: “Um okay so…don’t get me wrong. I was impressed by the illusions performed by this very cheerful man but I think the 9 year old girl’s performance was much more worthy of the golden buzzer as her voice was exceptional for such a young age. #bgt #britainsgottalent.”
BGT’s Amanda Holden breaks down in tears as The Frontline Singers perform
AMANDA Holden broke down in tears as she watched a choir made up of frontline workers including paramedics and police officers perform an original song about the coronavirus pandemic.
The Frontline Singers won a standing ovation from the audience and judges who were all moved by the touching track.
The choir was founded by James Beeny and Gina Georgio during the COVID-19 Pandemic, who wanted to bring joy to the world after a difficult two years.
Some of the heartwarming lyrics include: "Where every boy and every girl living in this strange old world.
"We'll see the best that we can be...they will learn from you and me."
After their performance, Alesha - who was fighting back tears - said: "I found that really moving. I hung on to every single world. It was so poignant, so lovely and we are in debt to you. It was very touching."
Amanda told her: "It was just wonderful we could be a part of it all and you get this moment because it was tremendous."
Love Island fans all say the same thing as first look at new series airs during Britain’s Got Talent
LOVE Island fans were beside themselves as the first look at the upcoming season aired during Britain's Got Talent.
The dating show phenomenon will start again next month and the unexpected teaser delighted fans.
It showed claymation scene featuring a person swimming in the pool doing 'salmon dives'.
The teaser also paid homage to Millie Court's iconic moment last season when she played the keyboard and instantly became a meme.
Declaring "Love we own it", the teaser also played the series' recognisable cutaway music, to the delight of fans watching at home.
"Love Island must be back we all know that tune," tweeted one person.
Another added: "Just seen the first advert that love island is coming back soon…. And I’m absolutely here for it."
"Just heard that magical noise of summer…"

BGT star Jonathan Goodwin paralysed
Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin, 42, has been left paralysed after an accident, his fiancée Amanda Abbington has said.
She said the stunt ace, who appeared in the 2019 season of Britain's Got Talent, now uses a wheelchair.
He was supposed to escape a strait jacket while upside down 30ft in the air in between two suspended cars.
Ms Abbington, 48, told Jay Rayner's Out To Lunch podcast: "He fell 30ft and lost a kidney, broke both shoulder blades, shattered both legs.
"Third-degree burns, broke his spine and severed his spinal cord and nearly died. And then on the operating table, he nearly died again."
"Unless there's a kind of stem cell surgery, or that thing that Elon Musk is designing with the little chip, he'll be like that forever," she said.

How does the BGT golden buzzer work?
The golden buzzer is on the judges’ panel which, when pressed, means you are automatically granted a place in the Semi-Finals.
This will mean they will skip past the boot camp stage of the competition, ultimately giving them a head start.
Each judge, and hosts Ant & Dec have one opportunity per series to press it for any act they deem as worthy.
The golden buzzer was introduced in series eight, and has been an integral part since.
More about BGT
Episodes will be available on the ITV Hub after each episode has aired.
As always the BGT champion will walk away with a huge cash prize of £250,000 and spot on bill of the Royal Variety Performance.
The reigning champ from 2020 is comedy singer Jon Courtenay.
Of course, Geordie comedy duo Ant and Dec will host the talent competition once again.
Simon Cowell on BGT returning this year
Talking about missing out on a year of BGT for the first-time in the show’s history due to the pandemic, judge Simon Cowell said: “As much as I didn’t want to not make the show last year, we just couldn’t at that point, it would have been literally impossible.
“We had to stop it at the last moment – it was a difficult decision to make but it was the right one.
“I think off the back of that, when we did all get back together, we realised how much we enjoy making the show.
“We did miss each other, we get on and work well together.”
Inside Amanda Holden’s incredible Surrey home
AMANDA Holden is no stranger to sharing personal updates and videos with fans on social media, giving them a glimpse into her luxury Surrey mansion in the process.
The 51-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge's latest peek into her home life included proudly introducing her followers to her beautifully renovated kitchen.
She redid the kitchen from its conventional cream and grey colour to scheme to match it to much of the rest of the house including, charcoal cabinets with gold handles.
Above the kitchen island which is home to the electric hob, hang two giant golden orb light fixtures.
The heart of the home is her huge and tastefully decorated kitchen, which features a large breakfast bar, glossy cupboards and an oversized clock hanging on the wall.

BGT magician Keiichi Iwasaki wowed judges
