During the last round of auditions in Blackpool, 35-year-old Max Fox, who was seated only three rows from the judges, took advantage of an opportunity. He called Simon Cowell and expressed his long-held ambition to appear on the show—a passion he had cultivated since the age of 16.
Cowell was moved by Fox’s plea and asked him to the stage, where he performed a dramatic performance of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” capturing both the audience and judges. Amanda Holden was so delighted that she gave him her second Golden Buzzer of the season, advancing him straight to the live semi-finals.
Max Fox’s impromptu performance is a first in Britain’s Got Talent history, with a Golden Buzzer awarded to someone who began the evening as an audience member. As the live semi-finals approach, all eyes will be on Fox to see if his surprising journey can continue to captivate the nation.
