While the live shows have been postponed until Autumn-time, Britain’s Got Talent auditions have continued to roll out on UK screens, with more shocks and surprises than ever before to keep us entertained.

As always this includes the highly-coveted golden buzzers, which grant acts direct tickets to the live semi-finals.

All four of the judges, as well as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, get one golden buzzer each series - and the acts they have chosen for series 14 are truly sights to behold.

From a comedic piano man, to a mother-daughter duo, to a very special choir, once again the BGT judges have hand-picked a very varied and undeniably talented group of performers.

Take a look at the five acts who are going straight to the semi-finals…

Sign Along With Us

In week one of auditions, judge David Walliams sounded the golden buzzer for Sign Along With Us, a musical group that includes children with special needs.

Following their audition, Walliams said: "Every one of you gave everything to this performance. An amazing, positive message to put out there and all I can say is..." before pressing the buzzer.

The group wrote on Twitter: “Thanks so much for your incredible support, honestly not stopped crying since that golden buzzer moment, it will be with us always,I’m bursting with pride for Christian & every single member of our group showing anyone can achieve their dreams”.

Their audition now has 14 million views on YouTube.

Jon Courtenay

Ant and Dec jumped down to the judges’ panel to sound the golden buzzer for Jon Courtenay, who gave a one-man show in which he sang a comedic song about the judges, his two sons and his late father.

"You've made me fall to bits,” said Amanda Holden. “I saw a man who made all his dreams come true."

Fayth Ifil

Simon Cowell pressed the golden buzzer on Saturday night’s episode for the young Fayth Ifil, a singer who performed Tina Turner’s Proud Mary.

After receiving a standing ovation from the crowd, Cowell told the 12-year-old he loved her personality: “You talked about the support you’ve had from your mum and dad.

"Then you see the support you’ve had from 3,000 people, and just to give you a little bit more support, I’m going to give you one of these," he added, before pressing the buzzer.

Honey and Sammy

While this mother-daughter singing duo were triumphant in the end, it wasn't all smooth-sailing for the pair.

Their first audition was halted by Simon Cowell who told Honey, 14, and Sammy, 43, that their song choice was letting them down.

Amanda Holden wiped away tears before reaching for the buzzer.

Congratulating the singers after, she told Honey that she reminded her of her daughter, Hollie.

Nabil Abdulrashid

Croydon comedian Nabil Abdulrashid received Alesha Dixon's golden buzzer on Saturday, May 9 after his hilarious stand-up routine left the crowd and the judges in stitches.

The 34-year-old’s jokes riffed on the fact he is a Muslim, managing to blend humour and seriousness as he joked about topics such as racial profiling.

Dixon, 41, cackled through the performance as Abdulrashid joked that his “name means my phone calls are monitored.”

The authorities “listen to your phone calls but they don’t go halves on the bill,” he joked.

After pushing the golden buzzer and guaranteeing his place in the live semi-finals, Dixon said: “That was amazing. That was so good on so many levels. Congratulations, well done.”

David Walliams added: “Your writing is perfect, your delivery is perfect. Thank you for coming on the show.”

Britain’s Got Talent airs Saturday nights at 8pm
