Ant and Dec press golden buzzer for Britain's Got Talent act in emotional scenes

Ant and Dec pressed their golden buzzer on tonight's Britain's Got Talent 2019.

Teenage dancer Akshat Singh, from Mumbai, India, took to the stage after a series of bad acts left the judges in desperate hope of someone to put through to the next round.

The 13-year-old took to the BGT stage and revealed his motivation for doing the show was to “make everyone happy”, as well as to show “nothing is impossible”.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly applauded him from backstage before he completed his act, with the audience also cheering him on, the Mirror report .

The teen suddenly started pulling off some serious moves, as he danced along to a music track.

He then started cartwheeling and even did the splits to Nicki Minaj ’s track Spaceships.

The audience were loving him, with the judges dancing along to his performance.

Ant could be heard screaming “I love him” from the side of the stage, with the teen then shouting: “Fat people can dance.”

The judges gave the youngster a standing ovation, before giving their feedback.

Simon Cowell hailed him as “fun” as David Walliams suggested he would inspire a lot of kids to get up and dance like he did.

But as the judges went to vote, they were left surprised as Ant and Dec told them not to bother.

Racing over to the judges panel, Akshat was stunned as the boys pressed the Golden Buzzer for him, releasing the confetti.

Akshat burst into tears and Ant hugged it out with the teen after joining him on stage, with Akshat now sent straight through to the live semi-finals.

Britain’s Got Talent continues next Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
