The group – featuring dancers between 20 and 28 - performed a routine choreographed to their original music.

The judges were blown away and gave them a standing ovation.

Simon Cowell handed out his one and only Golden Buzzer, but fans have now called for the show to be axed after claiming it was a "wasted" opportunity.

Taking to X, one user said: "Unpopular opinion: golden buzzer should be axed from #BGT, it’s just stupid because they would’ve got through anyway, pointless."

Another echoed: "They were pretty good but not a golden buzzer act."

A third added: "I’m sorry but Golden Buzzers hold no impact anymore like."

A fourth wrote: "I’ve just realised #BritainsGotTalent is essentially turning into The Voice when the judges just push a (golden) button to send every single act through.
