Britain’s Got Talent shock as leaked footage reveals what really happens when a judge hits the golden buzzer

BRITAIN'S Got Talent's golden buzzer moment has been exposed by a fan who secretly filmed it from behind the scenes.

The leaked footage reveals what really happens when a judge hits the golden buzzer - and it's totally different to what it's like on TV.

A video posted on Twitter shows last night's singing act - 11-year-old Olivia Lynes - who gave a beautiful rendition of Defying Gravity from Wicked.

Filmed from the circle level of the theatre, an onlooker's footage shows three men on stage after Amanda Holden chose to send her straight through to the semi-finals.

One is holding up a machine to spray out the golden confetti onto Olivia's head.

Another is crouched down filming the little girl, supported by a third member of crew.

The BGT fan wrote on Twitter alongside the video: "Golden Buzzer reshoots aren't as cool looking in real life than all the slow-mo stuff you see on the TV...

"It's just a guy blowing confetti onto the contestant while cameras film in slow motion..."

He was bombarded with replies from fans with a mix of responses.

One said: "They did shoot all this in real time. They just want slow motion shots of the contestants and judges and you need cameras with high frame rates set so they can slow-mo it, so re-record it all now. It’s becoming too AGT with the fakeness."

"Clips like these that shock how fixed this show is," claimed another.

Someone else said: "And the golden confetti doesn't come from the ceiling?? Magic spoiled."

Another agreed: "It’s true. A huge anticlimax."

While someone else replied: "I mean it is telly, so of course not.

"I have no massive issue unless what they're trying to get shots that didn't happen in real time.

"I would prefer if they didn't but clearly they're wanting to make it more like AGT."

Olivia's audition proved to be controversial when judge Amanda met her before the show.

Amanda surprised Olivia at the theatre whilst she and her mum were getting tickets for Matilda The Musical.

Some fans slammed the show as a "fix" when Amanda then pressed her buzzer for the 11-year-old singer from Bath after convincing her to come for an audition.

“I wanted to ask you whether you might like to come down to Britain’s Got Talent and meet the other judges and come and sing for us as an audition?” Amanda asked and Olivia replied: “Yes please."

Many unhappy fans took to social media saying the youngster had been unfairly "hand picked" by Amanda.
