‘That is so fixed!’ rage BGT fans as Peter Andre makes surprise cameo in magic trick during final
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans were left sparking speculation that one magic act was ‘fixed’ thanks to the giveaway cameo of Peter Andre.
Viewers on the ITV show were left stunned when Mysterious Girl singer Peter appeared as part of Trixy’s live act.
Trixy had demonstrated to the judging panel how he could perform the ‘biggest card trick’ ever as he invited hoards of hooded extras onto the stage, each clutching onto a different playing card.
But before doing that, he got Simon involved in the act by asking him to choose a number within a 1-50 range.
Each number was connected to the name of a famous person.
A slew of A-listers filled the list including top rappers including Kanye West and Drake.
When asked to pick a number, Simon insisted he had before quickly changing his mind without any apparent reason.
He went on to select the number 34 which Trixy revealed was Aussie pop star Peter Andre.
Later on, as Simon was forced to choose another card which would whittle the extras on stage down to just one, it quickly became apparent that a celebrity cameo was imminent.
With the card in front of his face, Trixy informed the hooded extra to reveal themselves to be none other than Peter Andre.
It proved his magic as he was able to correctly identify that Simon would pick the number 34 to land on Peter and secure a cameo from the new dad.
However, some fans were left suspicious and suggested the act was ‘fixed’ thank to a giveaway clue.
They argued that none of the A-list guests listed would have agreed to appear during the BGT final.
Writing online, one ITV viewer insisted: “That Trixy act on BGT is so fixed.
“He had Kanye West and Drake next on his list of numbers next to Peter Andre.
“You really think if Simon picked those numbers that Drake is popping up on the stage.”
Another added: “Trixy? More like Fix-ie.”
Ultimately, his act received an overwhelming applause from the judges and the audience alike.
Simon was left utterly gobsmacked during the reveal as Trixy was given a standing ovation.
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company – Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny – Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
