'I don't know about you but I think that was the greatest thing I've ever seen,' KSI told him. 

Fans were less impressed, with one saying: 'Why the hell did they give Mr Cherry the golden buzzer?! Ffs #BGT',

'#BGT this is great. BUT IT'S NOT FOR KIDS TO BE WATCHING',

'This was ridiculous, surprising as KSI has been a pretty good judge up until this',

'Thought KSI was usually a pretty good judge but OMG that is the worst golden buzzer ever, what a waste of a golden buzzer, unbelievable',

'I mean Mr Cherry was hilarious sure. But a golden buzzer? Are you ok',

'KSI what are you thinking?????',

'What a waste of a golden buzzer. Just how immature is KSI? That that guy with the machetes was so inappropriate for early evening tv when kids will be watching. Not cool at all.'

In a behind the scenes video KSI explained why he pressed the golden buzzer for Mr Cherry.

'Because I've seen nothing like it. Incredible,' he said.

The other judges were not as keen on Mr Cherry, including Simon Cowell who gave him a red buzzer.

Mr Cherry had something to say after his performance: 'KSI thank you Cherry much.

'Keep calm and Cherry on.'
