Britain's Got Talent's Ant and Dec's golden buzzer spark 'fix' rows over performers fame

Saturday night's instalment of Britain's Got Talent aired on the same day as King Charles's historic crowning at Westminster Abbey, and we saw the final golden buzzer given by Ant and Dec.

MB14 took to the stage quipping that he had taken the Eurostar from France when asked by judges how he got to where he is, which prompted laughter from Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell.

The 28-year-old then blew everyone away with his song, which he was very keen to impress with, made entirely with his voice and the help of a loop pedal. The judges watched on as he slowly built up the song step by step until it resembled a complete track, leaving everyone stunned.

Bruno said he was "hypnotised" by the performance whilst Alesha said no one like him had ever been on the show. Ant and Dec were so completely mesmerised by his performance that they ran onto the stage at the end of his song to press the big golden buzzer.

But the move has sparked ITV viewers to brand the popular reality show a fix yet again, as it has been reported by the Mirror that MB14 (real name Mohammad) is more known in the industry than it would first appear.

Although the producer and singing sensation now has a pass straight through to the semi-finals of the reality show, some fans of the programme have hit out at producers following the resurfacing of old videos of him performing.

MB14 appeared on The Voice in France in 2016 after being asked by producers to go on the show. He ended up finishing in second place and signed a record deal with Polydor, which he later left. He went on to compete in an All-Stars version years later.

He reportedly has 35,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and previously was part of the beatboxing group, Berywam.

Fans of the show have now rushed to social media following the news, as they have branded it a 'fix' upon discovering the musician's previous success in the industry already.

"Another well known person auditioning for #bgt," one wrote, as a second added: "Just googled him. He has been on The voice France as a runner up. Obviously scouted #bgt #BritainsGotTalent."

A third shared: "Sooo this golden buzzer MB14 was on the voice and came second #BGT," with a fourth writing: "Just an ordinary lad with 95m views on YouTube #BGT."

Britain's Got Talent continues Saturday on ITV.
