Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden’s children made a surprise impact on the latest episode of Britain’s Got Talent by activating the golden buzzer, propelling contestants directly to the semi-finals. The notable episode aired on Sunday, showcasing the final auditions before the semi-final week.

Key moments included the performance of Japanese skipping dancers Haribow, which led Simon Cowell’s son Eric and Amanda Holden’s daughter Hollie to hit the golden buzzer, a rare privilege usually reserved for the judges.

The evening featured a variety of acts, including custard pie pranks orchestrated by Simon Cowell on presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, and performances by Midlife Movers, nine-year-old magician Ella Rose, and recorder player Richard Lindesay.

Scottish dancer LeightonJay Halliday received notable praise but also drew comparisons to previous winner George Sampson’s water-based routines. Other acts moving forward included sword swallower Heather Holliday and a pool-utilizing dance by Leightonjay.

The episode concluded on a high, setting the stage for the live semi-finals slated for Monday at 8 pm.
