So much so that Simon, 63, hit the buzzer at the end of Unity's performance on Sunday night show and sent the act through to the lives shows.

Unity performed a powerful dance, which highlighted what makes people unique, the Mirror reports. Simon said: "I actually thought that was astonishing, the way that you got your message across was so strong. It was an audition I will never forget. What you have done, you have done it your way.
