Britain's Got Talent fans call 'fix' as Ant and Dec interrupt with Golden Buzzer

A rare occurrence featured in the latest episode of ITV's Britain's Got Talent, as Ant and Dec took it upon themselves to step in and give an act their official seal of approval.

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly handed out their Golden Buzzer during the latest episode of Britain's Got Talent - but the move by the presenting due left some fans dubbed it a fix as old videos of him performing resurfaced and they learned more about his showbiz past.

The presenting duo ran onto stage at the end of MB14's act to press the Golden Buzzer for him and send him straight through to the semi-final, The Mirror reports.

The musical act impressed all the judges with a piece of music made entirely using a loop pedal - with his voice and the help of a loop pedal. The judges watched on as he slowly built up the song step by step until it resembled a complete track.

The performance left many in the audience stunned - including Ant and Dec. And even the four judges - Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell - couldn't believe all the sounds he was making.

As the act ended, Ant and Dec ran from their position on the side of the stage and down to the judges' table where they pressed the Golden Buzzer together, sending gold confetti onto the stage and sending MB14 into the semi-final.

Bruno said he was "hypnotised" by the performance whilst Alesha said no one like him had ever been on the show.

MB14 appeared on The Voice in France in 2016 after being asked by producers to go on the show. He finished in second place and signed a record deal with Polydor, which he later left. He went on to compete in an All Stars version years later.

He has 35,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and previously was part of the beatboxing group, Berywam.

Fans of the show rushed to social media, calling it a 'fix' due to his past success.

Some took to Twitter to express their frustration: "Another well known person auditioning for #bgt," one wrote, as a second added: "Just googled him. He has been on The voice France as a runner up. Obviously scouted #bgt #BritainsGotTalent."

A third shared: "Sooo this golden buzzer MB14 was on the voice and came second #BGT," with a fourth writing: "Just an ordinary lad with 95m views on YouTube #BGT."
