Britain’s Got Talent returned for its 16th season on Saturday where Ugandan dance group – Ghetto Kids – secured the coveted Golden Buzzer.
Britain’s Got Talent is a televised talent competition in the United Kingdom where individuals or groups showcase their talents in various categories such as singing, dancing, magic, comedy, and more. If an act is awarded the Golden Buzzer at the end of their audition, it grants them a place in one of the live semi-finals of the show, skipping past the boot camp stage of the competition
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.

“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.”
The manager of the Triplets Ghetto Kids dance group Dauda Kavuma a.k.a Teacher Teacher said they were in London for the first time.
Singer, rapper and dancer Alesha Dixon said: “I just wanna say you’re absolute superstars every single one of you… What you are doing is absolutely incredible and we are honoured that you’ve come to Britain’s Got Talent.”
