-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.

Who is ready to be spooked and frightened out of their skin tonight?
The next episode of the talent show will air on Saturday May 7, at 8pm.
Episodes will be available on the after each episode has aired.
The dress that sparked issues with viewers
It did not take viewers long to once again have issue with Alesha's fashion choices last week.
On Saturday last week, she wore a blush pink Idan Cohen gown to the finale which showed off her toned legs.
While the embellished top half of the dress covered her entirely, viewers were not happy about the two sheer panels on her waist.
The dress also featured a long train on the front and back which showed her long legs.
Fans complain their kids can’t sleep after watching witch act
BRITAIN'S Got Talent fans have complained their children were unable to sleep after watching the show's terrifying witch last week.
The creepy crone, who stalked the panel handing out apples - one of which exploded in a shower of cockroaches - has been dubbed the series' scariest act ever.
One viewer complained about the ITV show tweeting: "My kids just came back downstairs crying because they can’t sleep because of the witch."
They added, alongside a shot of the character cackling: "Britain's Got Talent done me dirty here!"
Another posted: "Glad that was shown after the watershed. Kids be pooping themselves. My 10 year old was behind a pillow."
A third shuddered: "I have still got that in my head. Need to watch a other show before I go to bed."
Alesha Dixon’s best Britain’s Got Talent looks
ALESHA Dixon has always pushed the boundaries when it comes to her Britain's Got Talent outfits - even raking up complaints to Ofcom in the process.

Child star Malaki Paul is unrecognisable 10 years after the show
MALAKI Paul left judges in awe when he appeared on Britain's Got Talent back in 2012.
Now 10 years later, the child star is unrecognisable, carving out a career for himself in the music and television industry.
Back on the ITV show, the youngster - now aged 20 - gave an emotional rendition of Beyoncé's Listen but things came to an abrupt halt when nerves got the best of him and he broke down in tears.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house as his mother ran out on star to comfort her nine-year-old son.
Judge Alesha Dixon also rushed out from her seat and helped to calm Malaki's nerves before he started his audition again.
Once he'd finished singing there was praise all round as Alesha said he was "a natural raw talent", while David Walliams admitted his performance was a "really special audition".
Inside Britain’s Got Talent star Alesha Dixon’s huge Hertfordshire home
ALESHA Dixon has seen her career soar over the last few decades, since launching to fame in girl band Mis-Teeq - and so has her bank balance.
The BGT judge, 43, now has an incredible home to fit her incredible lifestyle.
Step inside her posh pad and you'll find £1,300 mirrors, a state-of-the gym and huge garden - that fans recently mistook for a park.
No expense has been spared in this luxury house.
Alesha keeps her incredible physique with her impressive gym which features cardio equipment, as well as a dumbbell rack and an exercise ball.
A giant flat-screen TV also hangs in the corner to keep her entertained while she works out.
See what else Alesha has in her home here.
Last week's act - the Witch - breaks silence
Last week's act - the Witch - has denied that its identity is really one of the show's star names.
Speculation is rife that Ant and Dec, former contestant Marc Spelmann or even Stephen Mulhern could be behind the terrifying act.
Responding to an article claiming to have unmasked them, the Witch wrote: "Stephen Mulhern, Ant n Dec, Marc Spelmann. Anymore? Nobody plays me. I AM me!"
A fan begged the act to keep their true identity concealed to keep the magic alive.
And it looks like we may never know who the Witch really is as they replied: "As you wish".
BGT’s Simon Cowell reveals retirement plans
SIMON Cowell has revealed when he plans to retire – and it might be a surprise to some.
With his Britain’s Got Talent contract ending in 2025, Simon has been looking to the future.
“I’ll never retire,” he said, speaking to The Sun from his mansion in Malibu.
“I would never, ever do that. I think you’ve got to have a job you hate to retire. Thank God I have a job I still love.”
He continued: “If you have a great idea and believe you can make it happen, there’s always the chance you can. This show is an example.
“It was dead in the water. I couldn’t get arrested with it.
“No one wanted to buy it. I just got really lucky that NBC bought it in America, because if they hadn’t we wouldn’t be having this conversation today. It was over.
“That’s the way thing happen sometimes I certainly wouldn’t have predicted then that however many years ago we’d be having a conversation like this still talking about a talent show.
“The great thing is there are still amazing people out there with great stories and talent they want to share.
“I look at this show like it’s a bubble. It’s a happy bubble, a funny bubble.
“It will hopefully still be around because we all need that escape sometimes.”
Asked when he’ll leave Britain’s Got Talent, he said: “I’ll be committing until 2025 – that’s when the contract runs to.”
‘I lost my £90k Britain’s Got Talent fortune’
BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Francine Lewis has revealed her heartbreak after being scammed out of £90,000 by a phoney stocks company.
The mum, 47, who shot to fame for her hilarious impressions of celebs in 2013, was swindled out of her savings after being tricked by the devious “brokers”.
She lost the life-changing £90,000 – which she had earned from her time on Britain’s Got Talent and from tours and corporate events she did after the show.
Devastated Francine told The Sun Online: “I had a little gut feeling. I spoke to the guys myself, they were so convincing, so even I got suckered in.
“Stupidly, I handed all this money over, went to my bank, drew it out.
“What was even worse, I handed them all my kids’ money that I had been saving from when they were born.
“That for me was the worst part of it. In the end, it ended up being a scam. That little bit of a gut, which I prayed wasn’t going to be right, was right in the end.”

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.
