Britain’s Got Talent was hit with complaints from fans on Sunday night as a sobbing Alesha Dixon slammed her golden buzzer for a poorly little boy Ravi and his choir.
Although the boy who suffers from NF1 tumours was brilliant and a well deserved golden buzzer, fans felt unsure about seeing three golden buzzers in an episode and a half.
Two golden buzzers were handed out on Saturday, including one from Amanda Holden for singer Sydnie Christmas. But then despite the frequency of golden buzzers, an amazing African opera singer didn’t get one and fans were furious.

At one point, Alesha Dixon became the third judge to use up a golden buzzer in less than two episodes.
Alesha told a little boy who is battling neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1): ““The moment you started talking you just had me and I just loved it”, before she hit her golden buzzer.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow along your nerves. The tumours are usually non-cancerous but may cause a range of symptoms.
NF1 is a condition you’re born with, although some symptoms develop gradually over many years. The severity of the condition can vary considerably from person to person. NF1 is caused by a faulty gene. If the NF1 gene is faulty, it leads to uncontrolled tumours developing in the nervous system.

@chimobieziefula said: “I don’t get it either!! It’s definitely being misused this year.”
@dnbentley said: “Is it semi finals already next week. Knocking golden buzzers out the park right now #BritainsGotTalent”
But a lot of fans were pleased for Ravi who got Alesha’s buzzer. @TVMusings22 said: “When I tell you I sobbed at that last golden
buzzer act! That little lad is so precious what a warrior! #BGT #BritainsGotTalent”
@crispy_onions56 said: “You know what #BritainsGotTalent really does bring out the worst in humanity, when you have a child with #NF1 at 3 who has a higher chance of tumours then you may understand why they got the golden
buzzer, give them a break! Some hope! Disabilities as a child is so difficult”

@katie_murphy776 said: “Only on twitter would you get a bunch of people hating the fact that an 8 year old with a brain tumour got a golden buzzer”

And then at the very end of the episode, singer Innocent absolutely smashed his audition with an amazing opera singing performance – and didn’t get a golden buzzer.
