ITV Britain’s Got Talent viewers call 'set-up' as mum gives up audition for daughter

Britain’s Got Talent viewers have spoken out about one of the performances which featured on Saturday night's show (April 22). The latest episode saw mum Claire Connolly surprise her 15-year-old daughter by giving up her audition spot on the show so that she could sing.

Schoolgirl Tia Connolly sang I Didn’t Know My Own Strength by Whitney Houston, a song she said helped her get through times when she was bullied “for the colour of my skin”.

Judge Amanda Holden said she “absolutely smashed it” and has a “massive career” ahead of her, while Bruno Tonioli said she had an “incredible quality because you were singing from your soul”.
