The audience erupted in excitement and joy as the mysterious masked magician was given the power to “decide the fate” of Simon Cowell!

Fans of Britain’s Got Talent believe they recognize the performer beneath the Hacker’s mask from previous appearances.

Viewers are positive that the mystery act has been on the ITV show twice previously.

BGT viewers believe the magician disguising his face is Jack Rhodes. Last year, Jack advanced to the final of the competition but lost the £250,000 prize to vocalist Sydnie Christmas. In 2022, he auditioned for BGT as The Phantom.

British Got Talent enthusiasts have been eager to offer their theories on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One user said, “I’m fairly certain The Hacker on @BGT is none other than Jack Rhodes.” He performed with a similar cockiness and confidence. He’s already gone on it twice; why not a third time?”

Another commented, “The hacker is definitely Jack Rhodes.”

A third stated, “Definitely Jack Rhodes…” Please adjust the audio by lowering it approximately 9 semitones and increasing the speed by 130%, and it will resemble Jack Rhodes. “Great performance.”

One person concurred, saying, “I’m pretty sure that magician was Jack Rhodes.”

On Saturday night, The Hacker dazzled the judges as well as spectators at home.

The magician was spotted calling Simon Cowell before unexpectedly arriving in front of him on stage.

The Hacker, speaking in a high-pitched voice, urged Simon to trade places with them before successfully reading the judge’s thoughts with the word “melon.”

He also astounded Simon by using an image of an apple to read everyone’s minds in the audience.

The Hacker completed their deed by handing Simon the Golden Buzzer.

In April 2024, Jack advanced to the final two on Britain’s Got Talent.

In his first audition, he appeared as himself before disclosing that he was actually The Phantom from BGT 2022.

He informed the judges, “I’m amazed you didn’t recognize me. I may have been on it previously.

“You did not see me. Do you remember The Phantom, an unseen magician”? That might have been me.”

Footage from his initial audition was then shown on the big screen.

Amanda Holden was alone on stage, nervously holding a pink balloon before it exploded.

The judges were taken aback to find Jack was behind the act, which had made it to the semi-finals two years prior.

Following his valiant comeback in 2024, several fans felt that Jack had been “robbed” when he lost to singer Sydnie at the end.

The Hacker, whether it’s Jack or not, has advanced to this year’s semi-finals week.
