Watch Full Video Below!

Father-and-son tugged at soppy Simon’s heartstrings

The episode came to a weepy climax with family duo Tim and Jack Goodacre from Norwich, who perched on stools and strummed acoustic guitars to perform original song “The Lucky Ones”.

Tim’s voice had a bluesy rasp, 12-year-old Jack’s had more melodic purity and the lyrics were suitably sentimental. Call me cynical but it felt shamelessly manipulative, with too many backstage shots of father-and-son bumping fists, ruffling hair, calling each other “mate” and wearing annoying hats.

However, it gave head judge Simon Cowell a chance to show his softer side. In tribute his own son, four-year-old Eric, Cowell pressed his golden buzzer to send the Goodacres straight through to the semi-finals. David Walliams was reminded of his own son Alfred, also four, and gave the boss a kiss on the cheek. Confetti fell, tears were shed and it all made a rousing crescendo to the show.

There are now three golden buzzer acts to go, with Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon yet to press theirs – and four audition shows remaining for them to do it.
