Britain's Got Talent's Bruno blown away by 'powerhouse' teen after moving audition

Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli couldn't believe his eyes when a young girl took to the stage with an emotional audition.

As the auditions near an end, the judges as well as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly found themselves at the London Palladium hoping to find the next big star.

But while hundreds took to the world-famous stage, schoolgirl Lilliana Clifton, 13, left Bruno visibly moved with an enchanting dance performance.

Taking to the stage, Liverpudlian Lilliana explained that she started her dance career aged four and instantly fell in love with dancing while adding that her parents were nervously waiting in the wings.

But after revealing she watches Britain's Got Talent on a regular basis, the teen said it "didn't feel real" to be on the stage in front of the judges.

Shortly after her moving dance to the James Arthur song Trainwreck, Bruno couldn't believe what he had seen after the teen showcased her impressive and emotional skills.

He gushed: "My darling, you are a powerhouse of drama, what a performance.

"You're a dramatic actress as well as a fantastic dancer, I saw some excellent ballet steps" before praising Lilliana for her "out of this world" gymnastic skills.

Meanwhile, fellow judge and singer commented: "Where does all that passion come from?! Technically, I haven't seen anything like that, for a long, long time.

"I'm quite speechless actually, wow."

"You were like the speed of a hummingbird," added Amanda Holden before going on to say: "You just looked incredible."

Head judge Simon Cowell asked: "So, Lilliana, what do you see in your head in five years time?" before she responded: "I see me, training in Cirque du Soleil, touring across the world."

"You have a chance!" exclaimed Bruno before Simon interrupted adding: "You can tell you have put in the work, if I could score this it would be a ten," leaving the teen visibly moved.

"Can I be the first to say yes?" asked Simon before Alesha, Amanda and Bruno all said they would be sending Lilianna through to the next round.

Seconds after the dancer left the stage, Alesha gushed: "She's unbelievable, wow, she danced with so much heart."

Lilliana couldn't believe her luck as she beamed backstage with hosts Ant and Dec as they reflected on the judge's comments.

Fans at home couldn't believe the performance as they flocked to Twitter, with one writing: "Should have had the golden buzzer."

"WOW! That was an AMAZING performance. Flying through the air with ease. Well done, Lilliana," added a second.

Before a third typed: "I had to reactivate my Twitter account to just say I loved your audition. It was amazing. Moving. Hit me straight in my heart. Moved me to tears. It was incredible. Dance acts have never done that to me before. You’re fantastic Lilliana."
