BGT fans in shock as they discover the truth behind Golden Buzzer: 'A huge anticlimax’
More under this adBritain’s Got Talent’s Golden Buzzer moment is often glorified so much on TV that viewers get goosebumps. However, that’s not the truth and things actually take place very differently.
Britain’s Got Talent’s Golden Buzzer is a huge thing - not only is it your ticket straight to the semi-finals but every viewer and non-viewer would know the act. In the latest episode of the show, Amanda Holden pressed her Golden Buzzer for an 11-year-old girl Olivia Lynes. A member of the audience filmed the actual Golden Buzzer moment as it happens in real life and BGT fans are not happy with it.

BGT fans find out the Golden Buzzer moment’s truth
An audience member posted a video of Olivia’s Golden Buzzer from Saturday night’s show from the circle level of the theatre. The moment that looks ‘oh so glorious’ on TV is, in reality, three men who make it glorious.

While a second one films the contestant with the support of another one. The clip clearly depicts the reality of the ‘Golden Buzzer moment’ and that left fans utterly disappointed. The BGT fan, who posted the video on Twitter, wrote:

Amanda Holden justifies her Golden Buzzer
This comes after BGT fans claimed that the show was ‘staged’ after Amanda - who may leave BGT soon - gave Golden Buzzer to a contestant she had only encouraged to audition. Reportedly, Amanda met Olivia Lynes a day before the audition to urge her and be a part of it. Many BGT fans thought it was a ‘fixed’ Golden Buzzer, but Amanda told MailOnline:

But when I met her I had no idea if she could sing, and then was absolutely blown away by her performance.More under this adMore under this ad
And it's just so typical of what I would press my buzzer for. I was almost like, "Oh my god. It's going to have to be this because I love it. She is amazing."More under this adMore under this ad
