Is that really worth a Golden Buzzer?! Furious viewers cry “fix” as KSI slams the Golden Buzzer for a bizarre act that leaves the entire judging panel stunned

Viewers of Britain’s Got Talent were left absolutely raging after KSI made one of the most controversial Golden Buzzer decisions of the series so far.

The YouTuber-turned-rapper, who stepped in to replace Bruno Tonioli this season, has already stirred debate—but nothing compared to the chaos that followed his latest move.

His divisive act included opening bottles with his bum

The act at the centre of the storm was Japanese performer Mr Cherry, whose bizarre routine included opening cans by sitting on them and even uncorking bottles using his body. While ITV branded him a “zany comedian,” many viewers were left questioning how the act made it onto a family show at all.

Despite the backlash, KSI was completely blown away. He slammed the Golden Buzzer and told the contestant he believed it was the greatest thing he had ever seen. He later doubled down backstage, insisting he had never seen anything like it and calling it incredible.

BGT judge KSI loved it so much he gave him a golden buzzer

In a moment that perfectly summed up the chaos, KSI ran onto the stage to celebrate—only to slip on the golden confetti pouring down from above.

However, the other judges were far less impressed. Simon Cowell hit the red buzzer, while Alesha Dixon looked visibly stunned by the performance.

Mr Cherry, unfazed by the divided reaction, thanked KSI in his own quirky style, joking: KSI thank you Cherry much… Keep calm and Cherry on.

But viewers at home were not laughing. Social media erupted within minutes, with many accusing the show of being staged.

But the other judges, including Simon Cowell were less than impressed

One furious fan claimed KSI had given the Golden Buzzer to an act so bad that even the production team appeared shocked. Another questioned whether the decision made any sense at all, while others went further—arguing the moment proved the show had lost its way entirely.

Mr Cherry celebrated getting the golden buzzer

Despite the outrage, Mr Cherry is no stranger to controversy. A Guinness World Record holder, he has previously appeared on international TV and built a reputation for outrageous stunts.

With the live semi-finals approaching, all eyes are now on whether this shocking decision will pay off—or backfire in spectacular fashion.
