A TEENAGER from Stourbridge has won a place in the final of a popular reality show after receiving the golden buzzer during the live semi-finals.
Heather Froom, 19, a former pupil of Summerhill School in Kingswinford, performed as part of her dance group Liverpool Media Academy (LMA).
The group’s synchronised routine impressed the judges and audience, earning high praise on the night.
Judge Simon Cowell said the performance was “gob-smackingly beautiful,” adding: “This is the best act we have seen in the live semi-finals.”
Alesha Dixon described it as “a breath of fresh air” before pressing the golden buzzer, sending the group straight through to the final.
The emotional moment left the performers in tears.
Each week in the live shows, one judge is given control of the golden buzzer, allowing them to send a single act directly to the final.
Heather, who left Summerhill School in 2022, has been praised by staff who say they are “incredibly proud” of her achievements.
Headteacher Tim Harris said: “Heather was always an outstanding student with a real flair across all subjects, particularly in creative areas.
“She was a pleasure to have as part of our school community.
“All of the Summerhill family wish Heather and her team the very best for the semi-finals.
“We are incredibly proud of what she has achieved and can’t wait to see her perform in front of the judges, the audience and millions watching at home.
“What an experience.”
The live final of Britain’s Got Talent will air on May 30 on ITV1, with contestants competing for a £250,000 prize and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
