The show typically airs for two hours, so the extended finale is set to be impressive, though the finalists are yet to be confirmed. 

During the series, there’s been a range of impressive acts including a performer put a corkscrew and meat hook through their head and nose, and out of their mouth.

While Bao Cuong left the judges bewildered with his daring performance. 

The series has also been caught up in ‘fix’ rows including when singer Max Fox stunned the judges when he shouted out from the audience and begged to perform.

The judges were left baffled by the outburst and were convinced it was a production set up. 

Max explained that he had tried to audition for 19 years but had never got through and begged Simon for a chance to take to the stage and person.

He pleaded: ‘Can you give me one opportunity? I can show you what I’ve got.’

The outburst caused visible confusion on the panel and Simon stood up and asked: ‘Come here, are you serious? Hang on, is this a wind-up?’

Max left audiences gobsmacked as he delivered a powerful rendition of Frank Sinatra’s My Way, earning a standing ovation and the Golden Buzzer.

However, some people afterwards accused the moment of being a set up and Simon attempted to clear up the claims last month on This Morning.

He said: ‘On my life, I swear to God that was not a set up, I honestly thought ‘Okay, someone’s put in there’ and I said to producers ‘Come on, this is a set up right?’ and they went ‘No’.’

Simon went on to explain: ‘I just thought we’d never show it and he wanted to sing in front of me and I thought why not.

‘I was laughing so much and when the golden buzzer happened I said, ‘No one’s going to believe this’.’
