The latest golden buzzer in Britain’s Got Talent live semi-finals this year has been pressed, sending another act through to the final.

The fourth semi-final of BGT 2026 aired tonight (May 16), as eight more acts battled it out for a place in this year's final in two weeks.

In each semi-final this year, one judge has the power to press the golden buzzer and send an act straight into the final, with Simon Cowell deciding this evening.

They will be joined in the final by the winner of tonight's semi-final show, decided through the public vote and revealed at the end of the show.

Who was awarded the golden buzzer in the fourth BGT 2026 semi-final?

The fourth semi-final tonight saw the following acts take part:

  • Wei Yamin - music/pyrotechnics act
  • Welsch Master Team - gymnastics team
  • Ren DMC - singer
  • Glantaf Boys Choir - a choir group from Wales
  • Sonny Green - poet
  • Rafferty Coope - magician and KSI's golden buzzer during the audition stages
  • Epic Sax Guy - musician
  • Kristel Herrera - singer

At the start of the show, Simon Cowell questioned what would happen if he did not press his golden buzzer for any acts.

Ant and Dec informed him that it would revert to the old format and the top two acts in the public vote would go through.

However, the head judge did decide to press the golden buzzer for poet Sonny Green.

Sonny left the audience and judges feeling emotional after his poetry about his relationship with his sons.

Judge KSI was left in floods of tears, saying: "It really hit me.

"I know my relationship with my dad isn't the best, so hearing those words, it makes me really think about what I need to improve on."

Alesha said the performance was "magic", adding: "It makes us feel something and I watched the whole thing with a smile on my face."
