Amputee given extra golden buzzer on Britain's Got Talent after audience demand it

Being able to dance well takes time and a lot of practice and being able to dance as an amputee takes even more hard work and dedication. Musa Motha stunned the Britain's Got Talent judges and audience when he performed a moving dance routine on one leg and crutches, having had the other leg amputated.

Musa had cancer when he was younger which resulted in one of his legs being amputated. Formerly a footballer Musa then learnt to dance on just one leg and with crutches and performed in front of judges Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell and a live audience on Britain's Got Talent.

His moving dance performance reduced Bruno and Amanda to tears and had the live audience demanding that he was given the golden buzzer, which would send him straight through to the semi-final. Despite having run out of golden buzzers for the series, the judges bent the rules and gave Musa a group golden buzzer much to the delight of the audience.

One said: "Omg how brilliant was Musa! Brought a tear to my eye, the strength he has! Definitely deserved that golden buzzer!" Another added: "Musa was simply stunning. To have the disability he has & be able to dance the way he did is phenomenal. Such an amazing talent".

A third said: "Musa my friend take a bow you deserved that golden buzzer, best audition ever." You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.
