Britain's Got Talent fans say 'at last' as it emerges Malakai has famous connection before complaining about 'outrageous' interruption

Young singer Malakai Bayoh headed straight into the Britain's Got Talent semi-finals tonight after Simon Cowell pressed the coveted Golden Buzzer. The 13-year-old wowed all of the judges - Simon, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli - and the audience at the ITV talent show auditions with his heavenly performance of Pie Jesu in the second episode of the new series on Sunday night (April 16).

With his proud mum and sister cheering him on from the audience, fans watching at home also loved his angelic audition. Before Simon pressed the buzzer, he praised: "Malakai, there is only one word I can use to describe that - golden."

Walking on stage to congratulate him the head judge said: "You have one of the best voices we've ever heard for someone your age." Alesha said: "It was so heavenly and beautiful I went into a trance." And Simon agreed: "It was like being in heaven." And Bruno told him: "You sang like an angel."
