Viewers of Britain’s Got Talent have been left divided over the Golden Buzzer act chosen by Ant and Dec.
Jon Courtenay, 46, from Manchester appeared on the show to perform a song he wrote as his sons and wife sat in the audience.
Jon revealed his dream was to perform on TV as he sat at a piano and performed.
In his song, Jon joked about his sons and his dream of becoming a performer.
He left the judges emotional and laughing during the performance.
His sons became teary as they watched him from the audience.
After that, judge Simon Cowell told him: “Jon, it was just a wonderful audition.
“You are somebody who worked for years, needs a break and we all want you to do well.
“So, I would love to be the first to say yes…”
