Their audition began with a backstory of how they met, showing clips of their engagement and wedding although they haven’t yet had their honeymoon.
The couple asked the judges for their assistance in the act, with each one having to provide a date, month and year for their honeymoon to take place.
Adding to the mystery, each judge had to hold a balloon in turn.
Simon chose the 7th, Amanda opted for the month August and Alesha chose 2025.

Bruno then had to shake the balloon, where the performers burst it and a note came out reading 07/08/2025.
From there, Alesha was asked to guess how much money they would spend, picking £7,700.50.
Amanda picked the hotel room number 127 meanwhile Simon selected Nicole Scherzinger as a showbiz friend to entertain the couple.
Simon’s involvement didn’t end there, as he wound up choosing Blackpool as a destination from a selection of tags with strings.

Jay and Joss said the judges’ choices were “completely random”, that they couldn’t have known prior to the audition.
However, the duo “revealed” their ability to move forward in the blink of an eye to the exact date, year and location.

A video played on a screen on stage showing Jay and Joss’ future honeymoon, including a newspaper saying the date August 7, 2025, a piece of paper with £7,700.50 on it, and the number 127 in their coffee.
The couple then headed outside, revealing they were in Blackpool as a bus drove past with the name ‘Nicole Scherzinger’ written along the side.
Both judges and audience were left insisting what had happened was “impossible”, with Simon stated: “I swear none of it was planned in advance, it's just blown my mind!"
However, sceptical viewers were quick to speculate on X (formerly Twitter) about how the trick was done and believed they had sussed it out.
One person wrote: "The third member of this act is the chap on the video editor. #bgt", as another commented: “Isn't video editing magic #bgt #britainsgottalent.”
A third person added: "The third member of this act is the chap on the video editor. #bgt".

Meanwhile, other fans were left amazed and impressed by the trick, with one writing: "My mind is blown. HOW do they do that!!! I have literal goosebumps #BGT",
