In their first performance, the aired on April 15, Bruno Tonioli, a new judge on the show, pressed his gold buzzer mid-performance as the Kids showcased magical dance moves to Mi Gente by J Balvin and WIlly William.

"I've to do it now," Tonioli, an Italian choreographer, ballroom and Latin dancer, and television personality, said before pressing the buzzer.

The golden buzzer is pressed by a judge or host when they decide they want a particular audition to go straight through to the live shows.

It is usually pressed after the performance.

"We've never had that before," Simon Cowell, the creator of the Got Talent franchise, who was also on the judging panel, said.

Tonioli chimed in: "I got it wrong!"

Cowell went on: "That's never actually happened... Normally the golden buzzer is pressed afterwards... He gave you the golden buzzer and you performed with the confetti, it was magical."

Britain's Got Talent airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
