Britain's Got Talent has showcased some wonderful performances throughout its 16-year run but has also thrown up a good deal of wackiness with it. Viewers of Sunday night's show were treated to perhaps one of the strangest auditions in the show's history, which came from the unlikeliest of sources.
77-year old Joy Weir took to the stage as the new series kicked off at the London Palladium and told judges that she was from Whitburn in West Lothian, just down the road from Susan Boyle, one of the shows most successful ever acts. However, their auditions couldn't have been more different.
Accompanied to the audition by her two granddaughters, Joy revealed that she had 21 grandchildren and an astonishing 37 great-grandchildren. She added that she had been motivated to do the show by her grandchildren, telling judges: "I've got to do it for them, haven't I?"
