Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and KSI all returned for another season, along with hosts Ant and Dec. KSI, whose real name is Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji, is in the middle of his debut series as a full-time judge on Britain’s Got Talent.
During Saturday’s episode, Celestial swept the judges completely off their feet with their semi-final performance, which was awarded this week’s Golden Buzzer, sending them straight through to the final.
Celestial is made up of director John “JP” Partridge, along with Matt, Herbie, Ottilie, Ant, and Arron. The group uses drones and LED lights to tell stories in their performances.
As well as impressing the four judges, Celestial left viewers at home amazed. After their performance, fans raced to social media to praise the ‘spell-binding’ act.

ITV viewer @AnthonyShannon2 said: “Celestial is genuinely spellbinding What a remarkably unique act”, and @AmyTeamLH wrote: Can we replace the London NYD firework display with a drone show from Celestial?”
