Before her performance, Fayth admitted her confidence has been knocked by “negative energy from school”.
She said: “But my mum and my dad helped me get through that which is why I’m here today.”
Following her incredible performance, Simon told her: “I absolutely love your personality.
“You talked about the support you had from your mum and dad then you see the support you’ve had from 3,000 people.
“And to just give you a little bit more support I’m going to give you one of those,” as he reached over and hit the Golden Buzzer.
A #GoldenBuzzer for a GOLDEN performance from Fayth Ifil! 👏⭐🙌
