During the last round of auditions in Blackpool, 35-year-old Max Fox, who was seated only three seats away from the judges, took advantage of an opportunity. He informed Simon Cowell over the phone that he had wanted to appear on the show since he was sixteen.
Cowell was affected by Fox’s plea and asked him to take the stage, where he enthralled the judges and spectators with a dramatic performance of “My Way” by Frank Sinatra. He was ecstatic when Amanda Holden gave him her second Golden Buzzer of the season, which sent him straight to the live semi-finals.
Max Fox, who began the evening as a member of the audience, won a Golden Buzzer for his impromptu performance—the first in Britain’s Got Talent history. As the live semi-finals approach, all eyes will be on Fox to see if his surprising journey can keep the nation’s interest.
