Bgt: Dance group LMA shines in 2026 with golden buzzer win

On May 2, 2026, the dance group LMA electrified the audience during the live semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent, earning a coveted golden buzzer from judge Alesha Dixon. Their performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, culminating in a moment that would secure their place in the final.

As the second semi-final unfolded on ITV1 and ITVX from 7pm until 9:05pm, eight acts took to the stage. Each showcased their unique talents, but LMA’s routine stood out. Simon Cowell, one of the show’s judges, expressed his admiration by calling their performance “gobsmackingly beautiful.” This praise set a high bar for the competition.

Alesha was tasked with selecting tonight’s golden buzzer—a decision that weighed heavily on her. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as calls from the audience echoed around the venue. Despite pleas for other acts like The Rafikiz and Celtic Beat, Alesha ultimately pressed the golden buzzer for LMA, sending them straight to the finals.

Key moments from the second semi-final:

• LMA received the golden buzzer from Alesha Dixon.
• Fabian Fox advanced to the finals through public vote.
• The first two finalists announced were Matty Juniosa and Anastasiia with her pet Salsa.
• The semi-final featured eight acts competing live.

The stakes are high this season; the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2026 will walk away with a prize of £250,000 and a chance to perform at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance in front of royalty. This opportunity is a dream for many contestants who aspire to showcase their talents on such a grand stage.

As LMA prepares for their final performance, they join an elite group—there have been 18 winners of BGT since its inception in 2007. With only five live semi-finals planned for this series, each act must bring their best to stand out among fierce competition.

The excitement surrounding this year’s series reflects not only on LMA but also on other contestants like Fabian Fox and Matty Juniosa. Their journeys are just beginning, but for LMA, they are already making history on Britain’s Got Talent.
