Britain’s Got Talent spoilers follow.
The third semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent took place tonight, with two more acts making it to the showpiece event. While one had to wait for the public vote to take place, another act received safe passage after being awarded a Golden Buzzer.
Liwei Yang, a juggler who incorporates fire into their routine, was granted the highest honour by KSI. Before he pressed the Golden Buzzer, the judge called the routine “phenomenal” and “magical”.
“Congratulations. Very well deserved. I was in awe and hypnotised, thinking ‘what a brave and incredible woman you are’. It was just exhilarating,” added Alesha Dixon, while Amanda Holden said it was “epic”.

“Everything about that performance was spectacular. Well done. That’s really well deserved. Really incredible,” added Simon Cowell, who branded Liwei a “superstar” as he congratulated her on reaching the final.
Several viewers supported the decision made by KSI, with one commenting on YouTube: “Great choice by KSI, the amount of bravery and strength you need to have to do something like that is BIG! So well deserved.”
“The amount of CORE strength required as well as maintaining the balance of that big wheel is astonishing! Was on the edge of my seat. LOVED IT!” noted another fan, while a third wrote: “This is what the golden buzzer was made for.”
They will be joined in the final by Ted Hill, with the stand-up comedian triumphing over Niamh Noade and Antigravity in the public vote. Following the announcement, Ted said it “meant the world” to him.
“I’m super stoked for Ted, he was one of my favourites in the auditions and I think he was one of if not my favourite from the semi finals so far! Can’t wait to see him in the final, I have my fingers crossed for him,” wrote one viewer on YouTube.
“It was very a strong line-up tonight where we had some incredible acts so I wasn’t quite sure who would win tonight. The public REALLY love Ted huh? Anyways, congrats dude at least your comedy was unique so I kinda enjoyed watching it,” added another.
