SARAH Ikumu has been taken into the Britain’s Got Talent final after the judges awarded them their wildcard vote.
The 15-year-old singer wowed in her first audition and had Simon Cowell pressing his golden buzzer for her.
Fans of the show couldn’t hide their excitement when it was announced and they took to Twitter in their hundreds.
One tweeted: “I would have been very annoyed if Sarah hadn’t been given the wild card. She’s the most talented there.”
Another wrote: “So obvious Sarah be #BGTWildCard but I’m glad she is.”
Already in the final of this year’s show is David Walliams’ golden buzzer act Kyle Tomlinson – who wowed the crowd, the judges, and the viewers at home with his passionate rendition of Adele’s When We Were Young in the first live semi-final.
The judges had predicted he would go far, and he proved them right by winning himself the first place in the finals on the audience vote.
Magic act DNA also went through after an amazing act that saw them use the “power of persuasion” to have Simon Cowell find a word in the dictionary that David Walliams had secretly written down.
Following the second semi-final, Issy Simpson – the 8 year old magician went through after she read Simon’s mind.
She is joined by Matt Edwards – Ant and Dec’s golden buzzer act who is a comedian and magician who’s “as funny as Lee Evans”.
Wednesday saw the third semi-final and Tokio Myers, the Charming musician who fused classical with modern for a powerful piano set and cheeky eight year old comedian Ned Woodman go through.
The fourth semi-final took place on Thursday night and the acts making it through to the final are Merseygirls – Alesha’s golden buzzer act and dance group who originally auditioned as Just Us.
Joining them in the final will be The Pensionalities – OAPs Henry, 84, and Malcolm, 75, warmed the audience when they auditioned in Blackpool singing a short duet.
The Missing People Choir and Daliso Chaponda will also be working their magic on stage.
Ten acts in total will go through to the BGT final on Saturday June 3, which has been rescheduled from the Sunday due to Ariana Grande’s Manchester Attack tribute concert.
