WHO SAID WHAT AFTER THE AWE-INSPIRING PERFORMANCE Italian choreographer, ballroom and Latin dancer, and Television personality, Bruno Tonioli hit the Golden Buzzer to give the dancers a standing ovation at their very first audition at the competition.

I was literally exploding. You should be proud of yourselves, I can't wait to see you back, Tonioli said and also went backstage to see the kids before pointing out that they should be in Hollywood.

The famous Simon Cowell was as well pleased with the Ghetto Kids' performance and the fact that Tonioli had hit the Golden Buzzer that early on in their showcase.

That's never actually happened. Normally the Golden Buzzer is pressed afterwards. He gave you the Golden Buzzer and you performed in the confetti, it was wonderful, Simon Cowell told the visibly excited Ghetto Kids.

Another judge, Amanda Holden, dubbed the performance as an audition to remember and labelled the Ghetto Kids absolute superstars.

We are honoured you have come on Britain's Got Talent, she added. Well, congratulations to the Ghetto Kids. Keep waving the flag!

Ghetto Kids was set up in Uganda by Mr Kavuma, who was over the moon at the side of the stage following Bruno's Golden Buzzer moment.

It's all about making their lives better. My dream is to buld a very big home and help as many kids as I can.
