Simon Cowell has defiantly broken the rules on Britain's Got Talent, days after the show descended into chaos thanks to his colleague Bruno Tonioli.
Before the new series of the ITV show had even started, its hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that they had been stirring up mischief behind the scenes, by telling new judge Bruno that he could hit his Golden Buzzer as many times as he wanted to.

Reacting to the video and clearly stumped by just how things are playing out on the show this year, one fan replied: "Soo what's the actual rules with the Golden Buzzer?? Do they all have two Golden Buzzers now? This is all so god damn confusing now!!" A second sarcastically responded: "how about you just forget the rules all together and have 3 winners this year?"
