An eight-year-old boy with a brain tumour along with his choir have secured the coveted golden buzzer during the second episode of Britain's Got Talent.
The hit ITV1 reality competition series made its return to TV in the form of a weekend double bill, which saw a singer and a South Korean martial arts troupe awarded a golden buzzer each during the launch episode on Saturday.
On Sunday’s episode, Ravi’s Dream Team, a choir of people ranging from age five to 78, fronted by eight-year-old Ravi, were put straight through to the live shows when judge Alesha Dixon hit the special buzzer.
Taking to the stage, Ravi introduced his sister, mother and father to the judges and explained his reasoning for being on the show.
"I’ve watched BGT all my life and always wanted to audition for it," he said.
"Two years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumour and I’m here to show no matter what life throws you can still achieve your dreams."
Ravi and the choir performed A Million Dreams from movie musical The Greatest Showman which left Dixon and Amanda Holden in tears.
Explaining why she pressed the buzzer, Dixon said: "The golden buzzer is such a personal thing and I always say I can only press it when it feels right and you’re such a remarkable young man."
The judges then got to their feet as the members of the choir, which comprised Ravi’s friends, family, teachers from school, medical professionals and other children from the brain tumour community, hugged each other in celebration.
Britain’s Got Talent continues on Saturday April 27 at 7.30pm on Virgin Media One and UTV.
