Britain’s Got Talent 2023 has officially begun, and one of Africa’s most famous dance groups, The Ghetto Kids from Uganda, has secured a place on the show after receiving the Golden Buzzer. The judging panel remains unchanged, featuring Simon Cowell (63), Amanda Holden (52), Alesha Dixon (44), and newcomer Bruno Tonioli (67).
The Ghetto Kids, a troupe of 30 children living in an orphanage in Uganda, delivered a spirited performance that left all the judges in total admiration. During the act, Italian choreographer Bruno Tonioli could not contain his excitement and pushed the Golden Buzzer while the group was still presenting. Afterward, Tonioli said the performance made him “feel like exploding.” He added, “I was literally exploding. You should be proud of yourselves; I can’t wait to see you back. I’ve got to do it now,” before hitting the buzzer, which sent the troupe straight through to the live shows. The children continued dancing on a shower of golden confetti, The Heritage Times reported.
Meanwhile, head judge Simon Cowell used his Golden Buzzer for choirboy Malakai Bayoh, 13, whose moving audition brought the panel to tears. Fans on social media are already urging that he win the £250,000 prize and perform in front of King Charles and Queen Camilla at the Royal Variety Performance later this year.
