Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer act revealed as BGT's Kojo Anim collapses in tears

Simon Cowell slammed down his Golden Buzzer on tonight's Britain's Got Talent for a stand-up comedian.

The rest of the BGT judges were stunned when Simon, who admitted he is not a fan of comedians, sent one through to the live shows.

Kojo Anim, from London, was already in tears on stage after his hilarious routine when the golden glitter descended on top of him.

The comedian, who has known Alesha Dixon for many years, collapsed to the floor when he was put in the semi-finals.

This means that two of the five precious Golden Buzzers have already been used after just two weeks.

Kojo left the audience and the judges in hysterics and got a standing ovation from everyone in the theatre.

But all seemed lost when Simon said: "I'm going to be honest with you. I don't really like comedians on this show."

"But I love you," he added before pushing his Golden Buzzer.

Simon got on stage to hug Kojo after Ant and Dec lifted the comedian to his feet.

Simon said: "I have to tell you, I don’t know what it is, you are so funny and unpredictable, amazing energy. This is the break you’ve been waiting for

Alesha added: "When he woke up this morning I bet he didn't think that was going to happen."
