Sorry I don't watch that crap so have no idea

[aelmpvw]

don't watch the show but alesha dixon is free to do anything she wants in my book

[DarceyK123]

I did think she had a slight conflict of interest.

[jackthehat]

Yes.

[MallyJ]

Of course it was...he is one heck of a singer and just because there was a previous acquaintance he should not be penalised for it. Do you employ someone you used to know a few years ago and whose ability you know about? Of course you do...

[Mamyalynne]

I must qualify my answer first - I didn't see the whole programme, so am unaware of the quality of the other acts.

However, having just watched Lifford's performance - Fabulous!!

Well deserved.

[andy-hughes]

Yes it was in order.

Judges give their Golden Buzzer to the act of their choosing - there appears to be no restrictions based on previous connections.

[ummmm]

He was brilliant.

What exactly is your issue?

[gingejbee]

ummmm....the issue? I've just looked at this guy and it appears he's not pink.

[douglas9401]

Some might say that's a thinly veiled and uncalled for slur, gingejbee.

[gingejbee]

Some may infer one thing from my answer....just as I may infer one thing from the question....

[Mamyalynne]

The question is very clear, I don't think there are rules about how the judges vote if they know someone other than to be fair.

I am presuming she was.

[pastafreak]

He was an excellent singer, the other judges agreed and seemed happy with it, so why not. He deserved it.

[hereIam]

Recorded it aog, so just found it and watched it now. I thought he was fabulous and it was well deserved to be honest. Did you like him?

[bobbie22]

I watched and enjoyed bgt, and have to say what a fabulous singer that guy was. What I would like to know is, who is the poor soul who has to clean the stage afterwards? It must be the end of day performance. Likewise with the Greek guy, where there were lots of broken plates. Just wondered

[Denton]

Thought he was pretty average,to be honest,loved the Magician though and the last singer.

[DarceyK123]

There is alway a slight bias if you know/associate with/heard of someone.

That's why we can't vote for our own Country on Eurovision.

[Arksided]

I watched and thought nothing of it, if it was a bit hush, hush that they knew each other and a bit wink, wink... then the DM would actually have a story to tell.
