The Wiggle Wine Revolution: 60-Year-Old Car Mechanic Don Chez Captures a Historic Golden Buzzer on BGT
Every once in a while, a contestant steps onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent bringing an infectious, joyful energy so undeniable that it completely transforms the atmosphere of the entire theater. That was the electric, celebratory reality when 60-year-old Don Chez walked out under the auditorium lights. Hailing from Wolverhampton—with a rich background blending a childhood in Jamaica with his adult life in England—Don immediately charmed the panel with his bright, uptempered, and upbeat personality. Working a daily blue-collar job as an AA roadside assistance patrolman for nearly three decades, Don hilariously revealed that he regularly sings to stranded, stressed-out drivers to cheer them up, leaving them so happy they completely forget their cars ever broke down.

Instead of performing a standard radio cover, Don gambled entirely on his own creative vision, debuting a completely original, high-energy reggae-infused party track titled “Wiggle Wine.”
The second the upbeat, tropical rhythm kicked in, the unassuming mechanic completely took over the stage, debuting a series of incredibly smooth, energetic hip-shaking dance moves.
Urging the entire room to “wiggle your body and wind up hips to the sky,” Don’s uninhibited stage presence, catchy songwriting hooks, and sheer charisma had host duo Ant & Dec dancing on the side stage while a thoroughly captivated audience rose to their feet in a massive, roaring party.
The post-performance critique was a total wave of absolute adoration and industry respect. Alesha Dixon was thoroughly obsessed with his dance moves, marveling at how smoothly he brought authentic island vibes and pure, unadulterated fun straight to the theater floor.
Amanda Holden hilariously compared him to a bright ray of golden sunshine, admitting she had wiggled and winded before but never managed to pull off both complex movements simultaneously.
Simon Cowell warmly celebrated the routine, openly stating that everyday heroes like Don are the exact reason Britain’s Got Talent exists. Reflecting the overwhelming joy of the room, David Walliams leaned straight over the desk and slammed down on the Golden Buzzer, sending a magnificent explosion of glittering gold confetti over a triumphant Don. Fast-tracking the singing roadside mechanic straight to the live semi-finals, Don Chez beautifully proved that you are never too old to drop it like it’s hot and share your inner sunshine with the world.
