Britain's Got Talent viewers were in for a treat on Saturday night as the auditions progressed into their sixth week.
And while a group of pantomime dames, a touching contemporary dance routine and two comedic performances earned the judges' praise, it was rap and pianist Flintz & T4ylor who bagged Alesha Dixon's coveted golden buzzer.
Alesha, 43, was the last judge out of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and David Walliams to grant a hopeful an automatic place in the competition's semi-final - and rapper Flintz, 23, and pianist Taylor, 17, piqued her desired interest.
Britain's Got Talent 2022: 'They say in life save the best till last!' Alesha Dixon awarded her coveted golden buzzer to rap and pianist duo Flintz & T4ylor on Saturday - who met for the FIRST time at their audition
The talented pair had not rehearsed together prior to the audition - as they never crossed paths in real life. 'We met through the first lockdown, via Instagram,' Flintz, from Croydon, explained to the judges. 'Today was the first day we met!' Taylor, from Birmingham, added.
Taylor explained how he had sent the piano backing over social media, for Flitz to practise his original rap.
'I was a troublesome kid, hanging out with the wrong set of people, going down the wrong path. With mum and dad's guidance, they dragged me out and helped me become the person I am today,' Flintz said of his personal lyrics.
Flintz's song Change was written in a bid to inspire his younger brothers to not take 'the same footsteps' he did: 'I want them to be better than me,' he told the judges.

Amanda gushed: 'Everything was so clear and so passionate. I loved hearing your story - you are phenomenal on that piano.

Earlier in the auditions, Simon quipped that a drag ensemble were 'better' singers than the Spice Girls.
The mogul made the hilarious remark after Damenation - the first-ever Dames to grace the talent show's stage - made their grand arrival in their eye-popping pantomime dresses.
Before making a jibe at the 90s pop sensation, his impressed co-star David gushed, 'I felt like I had died and gone to heaven!'
Simon soon butted in:
