BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers broke down in tears tonight as Ant and Dec hit their golden buzzer for comedy singer John Courtenay.
The Manchester act, 46, had the audience and judges in both hysterics and tears with an emotional, family orientated performance that resulted in a standing ovation.
John’s son rushed to the stage afterwards to give him a hug that had the singer wiping his eyes and Declan Donnelly clutching his heart.
Amanda Holden said: “You made me fall to bits, I don’t know why.
“I just saw a man who made all his dreams come true.”
Simon Cowell called it a “wonderful audition”.
He was about to be the first judge to say yes when Ant and Dec came out from the wings and slapped their buzzer sending John straight through.
Golden confetti covered a shocked John, who was then joined by his wife and other son as Ant, Dec and the judges congratulated him.
Viewers were moved by the performance and joyful moment.
David Walliams hit his gold buzzer last week for the Sign Along With Us choir.
And earlier in tonight’s show he had to lay down and cup his privates as daredevil rider Jack Price reversed to within centimetres of him.

Afterwards, David, 48, said: “I’ve never had a motorcycle touch my testicles before”, and jokes that the ITV show’s producers “got their money’s worth”.
During the stunt, which also saw David wearing a Union Jack helmet, Amanda looked aghast and Alesha Dixon begged: “Please don’t hurt our David.”
But BGT boss Simon Cowell quipped: “It was so exciting seeing David nearly get hurt.”
