A talented 10-year-old is tipped to steal the Britain’s Got Talent show from singing Scottish spinster Susan Boyle.
Hollie Steel, from Accrington, Lancashire, wows the judges in tonight’s ITV1 show with her all-singing, all-dancing performance of I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady. The young performer was discovered at auditions in Manchester, where last year’s dancing winner George Sampson emerged.
When she appeared in a lilac tutu and began her ballet routine judge Simon Cowell reached for his buzzer to dismiss her. But once she starts singing, the audience rise to their feet in praise and judge Amanda Holden begins to sing along.
Kelly Brook -- who briefly appears as a judge in the Manchester auditions before getting axed from the panel -- weeps as the 10-year-old performs. After the performance, judge Piers Morgan tells Hollie: “We have seen a lot of children on our show over the last three series and I have never heard any of them sing as well as you do.”
Earlier this week, Morgan wrote on his blog that the show had a “tiny young girl singer … who will melt your heart”.
