BGT boss Simon Cowell shuts down golden buzzer ‘fix’ row as audience member Max Fox sails through to semi-finals

The final BGT audition show of 2025 came under fire last night as Amanda Holden pressed her golden buzzer for the second time.

Singer Max Fox stunned the Britain’s Got Talent judges with his performance of Frank Sinatra’s My Way. The song was so good it prompted Amanda to jump out of her seat and press the golden buzzer, sending him straight through to the live semi-finals.

However, Max’s audition quickly sparked fix claims, after he shouted from the audience and pleaded with Simon Cowell to let him sing.
