Filipino singer Matty Juniosa delivered a standout performance on the premiere episode of the 2026 season of "Britain's Got Talent," earning the coveted Golden Buzzer from judge Bruno Tonioli. The 27-year-old, who has been living in Glasgow for three years, performed a powerful rendition of "I'll Never Love Again" from the film "A Star Is Born."
His emotional performance moved the audience and judges, leading Tonioli to hit the Golden Buzzer, which sends Juniosa directly to the live semi-finals of the competition. The moment was met with a standing ovation in the theater.
Juniosa's success continues a trend of Filipino talents achieving recognition on major international talent shows. In his post-performance interview, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity and dedicated his performance to his family and the Filipino community.
The 2026 season of "Britain's Got Talent" began airing on ITV on March 28, 2026. The live semi-finals are scheduled to take place later in the spring, where Juniosa will compete for a spot in the final and a chance to win a cash prize and a performance slot at the Royal Variety Performance.
