Britain’s Got Talent viewers demanded one auditionee received the golden buzzer after an incredible audition.
Travis George, 22, had an emotional start, as he struggled to even get his words out while chatting to the judges.
With his mum backstage for moral support, the auditionee broke down in tears and was visibly shaking when quizzed by the panel on his story and reasons for auditioning.
Clearly incredibly nervous, Travis left the audience with no idea what to expect – but he absolutely delivered.
He proceeded to belt out Stars from the musical Les Misérables, wowing everyone with his powerful vocals.
Meanwhile, his mum gripped onto Ant and Dec backstage, also unable to contain her emotions as she burst into tears.

After he finished singing, Travis instantly started crying as the packed venue got on their feet and erupted into cheers.
Travis couldn’t believe it, but the judges were keen to heap praise on him.
‘Talk about going for it!’, Bruno Tonioli said.
‘I’m telling you, you could walk into a West End show tomorrow,’ he praised.
‘Very, very difficult song, sang better than most people I’ve heard.’
‘I’ve seen Les Mis countless times,’ Amanda Holden began. ‘And you just knocked it out the park.’

‘Flawless!’ she hailed
Alesha Dixon added: ‘You are adorable, you are so sweet and you don’t realise how great you are.
‘I’m really, really happy for you that you had this moment.’
Simon Cowell then said: ‘Travis, I mean, it was obviously an amazing audition.
‘Literally, that’s what I call selling a song.
‘This was an audition we’re gonna remember.’
It’ll come as no shock that Travis received four yeses from the panel, sailing through to the next round.

Viewers at home were equally as amazed, but also raging that Travis didn’t receive a golden buzzer, which would’ve put him through to the live shows.
Some hailed him the ‘male Susan Boyle’ and others insisted he’ll ‘go far.’
‘Agree with Bruno I can definitely see Travis in Musical theatre. He has an incredible voice for someone who is only 22 years old. Should have been Ant and Dec’s Golden Buzzer’, one viewer tweeted.
‘He would’ve been my golden buzzer for sure’, another wrote.
