The latest episode of Britain’s Got Talent 2026 delivered high drama as the competition moved closer to its grand finale. Two more acts secured places in the final after a tense semi-final round filled with standout performances and emotional reactions.
One of the biggest moments of the night came when Liwei Yang, a fire juggling performer, earned a Golden Buzzer from judge KSI. The decision sent the act straight through to the final and sparked strong reactions from both the audience and fellow judges.
Judges praised the performance for its intensity and originality. Alesha Dixon described the routine as thrilling and powerful, while Amanda Holden called it epic. Simon Cowell went further, labelling the performer a “superstar” after the show-stopping display.
Viewers also reacted strongly on social media. Many praised KSI’s decision to press the Golden Buzzer, pointing to the skill and bravery required for the dangerous routine. Others said the moment represented exactly what the show celebrates.
Alongside the Golden Buzzer success, comedian Ted Hill secured his place in the final through the public vote. He competed against Niamh Noade and Antigravity before winning audience support. After his victory, he said the result meant everything to him and thanked fans for their backing.
Public reaction online remained mixed but engaged. Some viewers praised the originality of his comedy style, while others noted the strength of the entire semi-final lineup. Despite competition, Ted emerged as a clear favourite among voters.
