“I have been a bit concerned about this weekend but, hopefully, I’ll be able to do it.”;

Supermarket worker Stacey wowed the judges and audience with her audition, singing ‘ version of Run.

She had only performed once before her BGT appearance and had to retrain her voice due to a speech impediment.

She said: “It is extremely hard, I have a video of me singing from four or five years ago and you couldn’t actually understand properly what I was singing due to the severity of speech impediments.

“So during lockdown I used to sit through like adult speech therapy sessions on and then I’d introduced it into my singing.

“If I don’t do certain exercises for say a couple of weeks at a time, I will start to revert back to how I was.”;

personality KSI, 31, decided to send Stacey straight through to the semi-finals, while the audience chanted ‘press the buzzer’.

Another wrote: “Why are they putting so many Golden Buzzer acts together? That’s 6 of them already.”;

And a third added: “This is another extremely tough line up and I believe even more competitive than the first one.”;
