Britain's Got Talent had an emotional final auditions episode on Saturday as Musa Motha made history by receiving the first ever group golden buzzer from the four judges. He has been hailed by viewers as the 'best audition ever.'

Musa, 27, lost a leg to cancer as a 10-year-old boy. The South African native, who now lives in London, uses a pair of crutches to move around - and used just one of the walking aids in an impressive dance routine.

He told judges Simon and Amanda, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli that before he lost his leg, he was a footballer. After the amputation, he asked his friends to teach him how to dance.

He showcased his outstanding dancing skills during a routine set to Runnin' (Lose It All) by Naughty Boy featuring Beyonce. The judges gave him a standing ovation, and some of them could not hold back their tears.

The crowd began to chant for the golden buzzer, but the judges apologised and said that they had none left to give out. The audience booed in disagreement because the the golden buzzer sends contestants straight through to the live semi-finals of the show, meaning they skip the judges' decisions stage of the competition.

Holding hands, the judges decided to all press the button together, giving Musa the first ever group golden buzzer. In emotional scenes, he dropped to the floor and cried.

The judges joined him on stage, as Simon hugged him and said: "That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen." Viewers were touched by the TV moment, with some admitting it had made them cry.
