It was a big night for talented acts on this week’s Britain’s Got Talent, as the judges continued to put through a raft of entertaining stars to progress to the next round. From singers to dance troupes and even a surprise return by one 90’s TV favourite, there was plenty to write home about as the series continued.
However one act that captured the attention and hearts of Geordie hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly was French beatboxer Mohamed Belkhir, better known as MB14 who performed a unique musical arrangement that showed off the seriously impressive range of his voice. From laying down rapid beats through to throwing out some masterful falsetto, it was clear from the start that he was a pro at his craft, and despite delighting all four judges, Ant & Dec decided he was worthy of their coveted golden buzzer, meaning he will now progress to the live finals of the show.
While giving their commentaries, each judge gushed over the unique nature of Mohamed’s performance, with Bruno Tonioli telling the star: “Literally I was hypnotised by your music.” Alesha Dixon also weighed in as she gushed: “You are phenomenal my friend.” Before Simon Cowell echoed similar sentiments and added: “I don’t know where you’ve been, but we should’ve heard of you by now. You were phenomenal.” Yet while Simon may not have heard of MB14 before, several fans on social media were quick to recognise that he had actually appeared on another reality show back in 2016.The skilled performer previously appeared on the French edition of The Voice, and was actually the runner up of the fifth season, having delighted millions of viewers from all around France with his music.

Yossman ITV primetime hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly – better known by their joint moniker Ant and Dec – have said they plan to “take a break” from their long-running variety show “Saturday Night Takeaway.” The duo have hosted 19 seasons of the show, which features entertainment and quiz segments, since it launched in 2002. It is produced by ITV Studios-owned Lifted Entertainment and Mitre Studios This doesn’t spell the end for “Saturday Night Takeaway” however. In 2009 the two hosts also took a break from the show before returning four years later. Broadcaster ITV – which recently extended its deal with the duo for a reported £30 million ($37 million) for three years – reassured viewers Ant and Dec would continue to front other primetime shows including “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!,” “Britain’s Got Talent” and “Limitless Win.”
Britain's Got Talent's new kid on the block Bruno Tonioli made another crazy blunder during Sunday's show. A favourite amongst Strictly Come Dancing fans for his 15-year stint as a judge, the Italian now plies his trade alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon on ITV's long-running competition series, which rewards its winning act with both a Royal Variety Show booking and £250,000. In the latest episode, Tonioli, 67, decided to treat himself to a second Golden Buzzer act, despite the rule of one per judge (as well as Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly's allowance).
