BRITAIN'S Got Talent has fallen into a new fix row after a West End performer auditioned last night.
The powerhouse singer blew the judges away - but despite his incredible audition he left without a Golden Buzzer.
Opera sensation Innocent Masuku closed the second round of auditions and walked away with four yeses after he sang Caruso by Lucio Dalla.
Judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were in awe and Dixon said his performance was “overwhelming” while Holden branded him better than Paul Potts and Susan Boyle.
She told the crowd that Innocent was “by far the best opera singer we have ever had”.
But for some watching at home it wasn't a surprise, and they recognised the performer who is currently starring in Rossini's The Barber of Seville on the London Coliseum stage.

"It’s a fix. He’s already an accomplished tenor. Google Innocent Makusu," one viewer moaned.
Another tweeted: "What a fix, Innocent Makusu is already an accomplished tenor and he's in The Barber Of Seville!"
Though the majority of viewers were annoyed the young star failed to win a Golden Buzzer.
Not one of the judges decided to give Innocent a spot in the live shows – and those watching at home were furious after another act did get one.

Taking to social media to hit out, one person wrote: “Masuku was robbed of a golden buzzer tbh.”
A second said: “Innocent took my breath away. Absolutely divine in every sense of the word; already watched him twice. Just wow #BGT Thought there’d be a golden buzzer though!”
Britain's Got Talent returned on Saturday night and was criticised after a stage performer got a golden buzzer.
Sydnie Christmas had the judges raving over her incredible performance of Tomorrow from Annie.
However, a TV insider said: "It has always been the case that BGT is open to all regardless of their previous experience."
Sydnie got a standing ovation from all four judges as she was covered in golf confetti falling from above, after Amanda elected to send her straight through to the semi-final.
But viewers couldn't believe they hadn't heard of her.
One wrote on X: "No way. She’s either got an album out already or has been signed somewhere. Sydnie is pro already I reckon."
Another posted: "Why did Sydnie get a Golden Buzzer. She's a professional for goodness sake."
