KSI was brought in as an extra judge on Saturday night for the semi-final alongside Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden.
He was given the power to press the infamous golden buzzer and send one act straight through to the show’s grand final.
At the start of the magic act, Harry Moulding claimed that he was “going to create a special moment of real magic for one person” in the audience.
The magic act was full of incredible tricks which involved pop star references and predictions before the live show.
His performance then ended with a lady being proposed to by her boyfriend, and KSI was so blown away that he pressed the Golden Buzzer.
But despite the judges being blown away by the performance, fans were quick to say it was a fix.
Fans took to X immediately, with one writing: “What the f*** do they expect him to do for the final now?? Biggest fix ever, magic my bloody a***.”
A second claimed: “Utterly rigged and the trick itself was too grand and ridiculous it shouldn’t even be called magic. I know exactly how he did it, it was rigged.”
And now fans have slammed the “biggest fix” and said that a different act deserved the Golden Buzzer over Harry.
Reacting to Harry getting the coveted Golden Buzzer over nine-year-old dancing sensation Binita, fans took to X to air their frustrations.
One person penned: “KSI gave a golden buzzer for this fake proposal while my little girl Binita was actually the star performer.”
Another said: “Binita was absolutely outstanding, unbelievable talent and only 9 years of age, simply incredible, wow. Definitely worthy of the golden buzzer, I hope she makes it to the final, she was sensational.”
“Binita should have had that golden buzzer,” fumed a third.
“Now BINITA deserved a golden buzzer!! Not that nonesense,” echoed a fourth.
Britain’s Got Talent’s biggest ‘fix’ rows
Britain’s Got Talent has been plagued with ‘fix’ rows over the years. How many of these do you remember?
Jasmine Elcock – 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher’s Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London’s West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: “I’ve performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous.”
IrShad Shaikh – 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his act…and put him through to the next round.
Colin Thackery – 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We’ll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn’t even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan – who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit – should have won.
Axel Blake – 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series.
Taryn Charles – 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year’s hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1’s Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.
A fifth then wrote: “You can just tell the producers told KSI before the show to push the golden buzzer for the predictable magician act.
“Binita was the true star of the show and deserved the golden buzzer. Thank god the public voted her through.”
While a sixth said: “Little binita should have had that buzzer.”
And a seventh added: “And KSI golden buzzed a fake marriage proposal… 9 years old. Binita.”
Binita Chetry is just nine years of age and hails from Assam in India.
Showcasing her gymnastic skills on the hit talent show, Binita wowed the crowds during her audition has continued to do so throughout the competition.
Although she did not receive the last semi-final Golden Buzzer, she won the public vote, meaning she has sailed through to the grand finale.
Upon hearing the news of getting through to the final, Binita told hosts Ant and Dec how “thankful” she was.
