Frontline Singers leave Britain's Got Talent viewers in tears as Simon Cowell gives moving verdict

The Frontline Singers left Britain's Got Talent fans in the audience and at home in floods of tears as Simon Cowell paid tribute to them with a moving verdict on their audition.

Prior to Saturday's episode airing on ITV, plenty of viewers had already caught a glimpse of The Frontline Singers, either on Friday's Lorraine, when the show's famous host was warned to 'grab a tissue,' or online after a number of video teasers were released. Many viewers, having seen the clip, had them down as potential Golden Buzzer candidates, but, while they weren't sent straight through to the semi finals, unlike Ant and Dec's Golden Buzzer act, they most certainly had an impact and are sure to be one of the big frontrunners for this year's BGT crown.

The Frontline Singers are a choir made up of frontline workers, including teachers, paramedics and nurses, aged between 24 and 62. They aimed to impress the Britain's Got Talent judges with an original song about the coronavirus pandemic, with the track giving a number of members a solo spot, including a well executed rap verse.
