Amanda Holden shared how much she and Simon Cowell get along famously away from the Britain't Got Talent judging desk as she posted a joyous snap on Instagram. The BGT judges posed together away from the ITV talent show with their familes.

Amanda, 52, looked lovely in yellow as she grinned along with her husband Chris Hughes and their daughters Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11. And Simon was joined by his fiancee Lauren Silverman, 45, and their nine-year-old son Eric. They were joined in the picture by Amanda's adorable pet dog Rudie who was held by model Lexi.

As the compliments poured in for the BGT families, fans commented that Simon, who is known for his love of dogs, didn't appear to be looking at the camera like the rest of the group. Kirsty Elmer commented: "Simon looks like he’s just admiring the dog! We know how much he loves them!"

Cieloblues also noticed: "Simon is just looking at the dog. He loves dogs so much." And Andrea Robbo joked: "Simon's more made up with the dog."

Amanda captioned the picture, shared ahead of the final auditions episode: "@bgt family ( we missed @aleshaofficial @brunotonioliofficial) hope you’re watching tonight it’s an unbelievable episode! The ending is another moment in TV history." Loose Women panellist Ruth Langsford told her: "It was an INCREDIBLE end to the auditions…I’m in bits here!"

Britain's Got Talent auditionee Musa Motha made history by receiving the first ever group golden buzzer from the four judges. He has been hailed by viewers as the 'best audition ever.'

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

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.

The crowd began to chant for the golden buzzer, but the judges apologised and said that they had none left to give out. The audience booed in disagreement because the the golden buzzer sends contestants straight through to the live semi-finals of the show, meaning they skip the judges' decisions stage of the competition.

Holding hands, the judges decided to all press the button together, giving Musa the first ever group golden buzzer. In emotional scenes, he 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.
