BGT Judges Brawl Over Golden Buzzer!
6 Mar
Summary
- Judges Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell had a physical dispute over a Golden Buzzer.
- Alesha Dixon dove for the buzzer, breaking Amanda Holden's microphone.
- Simon Cowell had already used his Golden Buzzer for para-athlete Paul Nunnari.
Scenes set to air on Saturday's Britain's Got Talent will feature a lively dispute between judges Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon. Their argument escalated into a physical fight over the Golden Buzzer for a contestant performing a 'computer game' style act. This intense competition led to Amanda Holden's microphone being broken into pieces.
Alesha Dixon described the incident, stating Simon Cowell had been "winding her up" and she "dived on" the buzzer to prevent him from pressing it. This resulted in her hand being injured, and the microphone breaking. She humorously called it "the most physical golden buzzer" she had ever done.
Simon Cowell acknowledged the intense competition for Golden Buzzers, confirming Alesha "threw herself across the desk to stop me." He noted that such fights occur when a good act appears, highlighting the humor in the situation. The specific act that caused this commotion will be revealed during Saturday's episode.
Golden Buzzers, introduced in 2014, allow judges and hosts one chance per series to send an act directly to the live shows, though this rule has been broken. Simon Cowell's first Golden Buzzer of the current series was awarded to Australian para-athlete Paul Nunnari for his impressive wheelchair stunts.
