Britain's Got Talent: Mum gives up audition to 15-year-old daughter in emotional show first

One mum shocked the Britain's Got Talent judges, the studio audience, and viewers at home during the episode that aired on Saturday, April 22 when she gave up her audition for her daughter. The 33-year-old from Liverpool led her 15-year-old daughter to believe she would be watching in the wings before bringing her on stage.

As Tia watched on with presenters Ant and Dec, her mum Claire told Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Toniolli: "I'm a full-time mother and I'm here with my 15-year-old daughter. She thinks it's me auditioning, she's got me through some very hard times in my life and I feel like I owe her so I'm giving up my audition for my daughter."

As Simon said he wasn't following, Claire reiterated: "I'm giving up my audition today for Tia. This is my way of saying she's fabulous because she deserves it and she's an incredible person. Tia doesn't know how good she is."
