ITV Britain's Got Talent act has audience in tears as he makes history with first group golden buzzer

A Britain's Got Talent act who made history by receiving the first ever group golden buzzer has been hailed by viewers as the 'best audition ever.'

Amputee Musa Motha, 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 Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruono Tonioli that before he lost his leg, he was a footballer. After the amputation, he asked his friends to teach him how to dance.

And 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.Musa even got a double thumbs up from Simon.

The crowd began to chant for the golden buzzer, but the judges apologised and said that they had none left to give out - it was the final round of auditions, after all. The audience booed in disagreement. The golden buzzer grants contestants a place in one of the live semi-finals of the show, meaning they skip past the bootcamp stage of the competition, giving them a head start.

Holding hands, the judges decided to all press the button together, giving Musa the first ever group golden buzzer. In emotional scenes, Musa 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. Many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the performance, and the judges' reactions.
