Britain's Got Talent mum gave birth hours before audition being screened

Pregnant Britain’s Got Talent contestant Amy Lou Smith floored viewers with her outstanding voice as the ITV talent show returned to our screens on Saturday night. Sunbed shop worker Amy Lou captivated fans as she belted out Beyonce's Listen from the musical Dreamgirls.

The praise came pouring in for her spellbinding audition and happily for Amy Lou, her baby daughter arrived just in time to see her talented mum’s audition, reports the Mirror. Baby Aida was born “healthy in every single form,” according to mum.

She was welcomed into the world at 15:59 on Saturday afternoon, just hours before her mum instantly won hearts on the long-running show and sailed through to the next round. Amy-Lou, 34, from Tipton in the West Midlands, was 30 weeks pregnant when she auditioned in January.
