Ant and Dec break Golden Buzzer silence as Britain's Got Talent viewers divided on their decision

Ant and Dec have broken their silence to heap praise on their Golden Buzzer act Keiichi Iwasaki, after their decision split opinion amongst Britain's Got Talent viewers.

The first three episodes of the hit ITV show's new series saw three Golden Buzzers in as many episodes as, firstly Amanda Holden sent Greatest Showman singer Loren Allred straight through to the semis at the end of episode one. Twenty four hours later, at the end of an Easter double bull, Simon Cowell hit the button for comedian Axel Blake, while in episode three, David Walliams sent gold confetti raining down on dance act Born to Perform.

With episode four bringing no Golden Buzzers, there was some expectation amongst fans that this weekend's Britain's Got Talent might bring one and their suspicions proved to be correct as Ant and Dec stormed the stage to hit the buzzer for magician Keiichi, after playing a key role in his audition. The magician aimed to impress the judges with a string of illusions and got both the Geordie hosts and Alesha Dixon in on the action.
