A mum who posed as a hopeful on Britain’s Got Talent in order to land her daughter an audition has spoken about her past where she was jailed over a £6,000 cannabis stash.
Claire Connolly appeared on last night’s show (April 22) where she surprised her daughter Tia by encouraging her to audition in her place. The 15-year-old went on to wow the judges with a rendition of Whitney Houston’s I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.
Ahead of her daughter’s audition, Claire, 33, told the panel: "She's got me through some very hard times in my life.” Claire is now hoping people will judge her daughter on her incredible talent, rather than her mother’s troubled past.
