She became visibly emotional as judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams voted for her and secured her place in the final.

Speaking after the show, she said: “I cannot even thank you all enough for voting for me.

“I’m not a crier, but honestly I’m so emotional right now.

“You’ve no idea what it means to me, and thank you so much for getting me one step closer to my dream, which is to be on the Royal Variety Performance.

“I just feel so touched at the fantastic response - and I’m in the final of Britain’s Got Talent after 26 years trying to get a break.

“I never thought it would happen at this age, it’s crazy.”
