Max jumped up during a break in auditions and attracted Simon’s attention - with the music mogul agreeing to give him a shot.
Producers swore to Simon it wasn’t a set up and Max was allowed to sing Frank Sinatra’s My Way for his audition.
Speaking on stage he said: “I turned around to a couple of ladies behind and they said give it a chance and do it, so I did.”
He performed the classic hit - much to the joy of the audience and the judges.

But with the crowd demanding a Golden Buzzer moment, it was Amanda Holden who obliged.
She hit the button - despite not having one left - and delighted Max in the process.
As she joined him on stage, she said: “I feel like I’m in a movie.”
Back on the panel, she added: “Just to say I’ve already pressed my Golden Buzzer so I guess I’m in a lot of trouble because that’s my second Golden Buzzer.”
