Britain’s Got Talent has aired yet another Golden Buzzer act, as the TV talent show headed to Blackpool for the latest round of auditions.
Tonight’s episode saw the judges impressed by 11-year-old musician Olly Pearson, who performed a guitar solo mash-up of rock hits including AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’ and Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’.
Both audiences and judges were impressed by Olly, who shared before his performance how he was “nervous” performing to such a big audience after learning to play the guitar with his granddad who was supporting him backstage.

During his performance, Olly asked the cheering audience: “Blackpool, are you ready to jump?”, while the audience cheered to his performance.
As he finished playing, KSI summed up Olly’s performance by saying: “That was sick!”. Amanda was the one to press the Golden Buzzer, telling him: “Olly, I mean literally a star is born! I have never, ever seen anything like that in my life. I just think you deserve the Golden Buzzer!”

Viewers at home were a fan of the performance too, with one writing on Twitter/X: “So far this series the #BGT judges have been too trigger-happy with the #GoldenBuzzer but in this case Olly Pearson deserves it. He’s going to be amazing in 5 years time.”
Another person wrote: “I've been a rock & roll fan all my life. That was OUTSTANDING. Well done Olly!”, while someone else added: “I’m a big fan of AC/DC and I knew I was gonna love Olly. Great job mate.”
Olly follows another Golden Buzzer act from last week where viewers saw supermarket worker Stacey Leadbeatter take to the stage to perform an emotional rendition of ‘Run’ by Snow Patrol.
