ITV Britain's Got Talent viewers not happy as The Greatest Showman singer competes

On the first episode of the new series of Britain's Got Talent, viewers were left in awe as a singer from the box office smash The Greatest Showman competed. Receiving a standing ovation as she showcased her incredible talent, New York singer Loren Allred blew the judges away.

She the powerful ballad Never Enough from the 2017 musical film starring Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, and judge Amanda Holden gave Loren the coveted golden buzzer which sends acts straight through to the semi-finals. Actress Rebecca Ferguson played the character of Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind in the movie and mimed to Loren's vocals, as she explained that people won't recognise her face.

An amazed Simon Cowell previously revealed on the ITV talent show that it was his favourite song. And he said: "So you sang one of the biggest songs of all time. You’ve revealed it wasn’t the actress who sang the song in the movie - it was you singing the song."
