Sign With Us became the first act of the year to get a Golden Buzzer on this series of Britain’s Got Talent.
The choir, lead by siblings Jade and Christian, put on a stirring performance to This Is Me from The Greatest Showman.
Judge David Walliams, clearly impressed, pressed his Golden Buzzer, sending them straight through the live semi-finals.
‘Every one of you gave an amazing performance,’ David admitted. ‘All I can say is…’
He then pressed his Golden Buzzer and everyone basically just burst into tears.
Amanda Holden, weeping openly, added: ‘That song is such an anthem for people who maybe don’t feel part of the world – or part of anything – and I just found it really, really moving. It was brilliant.’
Boasting 37 kids and 28 adults ranging from four to 58-years-old, Sign With Us are easily one of the most moving acts Britain’s Got Talent has ever seen.
The line-up of the act was also surprising for Syco mogul Simon as he recognised a previous Pride of Britain winner who clearly took his advice to audition for the show to heart.
‘I have to confess I have a friend of mine in this choir,’ grins Simon. ‘Ella. I heard Ella sing and said, “One day I have a feeling you’re going to be auditioning in one of our shows”, and guess what? You’re here.
‘You’re saying this is me, but this is us. This is what Britain’s Got Talent should be all about. This is an audition I will never forget.’
Founders Jade and Christian will also be familiar to viewers as they also previously popped up on an episode of The Russell Howard Show.
Jade initially learnt sign language in order to communicate with her brother, who is severely disabled and is now campaigning for it to be taught in schools to help others across the country.
During the programme, we saw evidence of this, as Jade encouraged Christian to sign along to some popular songs, including Lewis Capaldi’s chart-topping hit Someone You Loved.
We think we can all agree that their message has been well and truly spread to the nation.
And no, we’re not crying…you are!
Britain’s Got Talent returns next Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
