BGT 2026 Golden Buzzer Awarded After Act Leaves Judges in Tears on Fourth Semi-Final

The poet became the fourth live semi-final golden buzzer act this year, joining three others already sent straight to the final.

  • Yesterday, Simon Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer for poet Sonny Green during the fourth BGT semi-final, sending Green straight through to the final.
  • There are five live semi-finals for the 2026 series of BGT, with just one remaining; in each show, one judge holds the power to send an act directly to the final.
  • Alesha Dixon praised the performance as "magic," adding that it made the judges feel something as Green moved the audience with his poetry regarding his relationship with his sons.
  • The BGT 2026 final airs live on ITV and ITVX on Saturday, May 30, where the winner will receive £250,000 and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
  • Since 2007, there have been 18 BGT winners, and following last year's winner magician Harry Moulding, this year's victor will join that list of champions.
