ITV responds as Britain's Got Talent surprise singer Nick rouses 'set-up' suspicion

There wasn't a dry eye in the house on television show Britain's Got Talent when a surprise auditionee got up to sing. However, some viewers grew suspicious of the segment during Saturday night's return show (April 16), prompting ITV to share an explanation.

Nick Edwards, 36, had a shock as his daughters Savannah and Cali, three and four, were brought on stage by his mother Tracey in a bid to convince him to audition. After nervously heading onto the stage, the dad-of-two told the judges he had “lost a lot of confidence” in himself over the years and tended to only sing in the shower.

When Nick hit the stage at the London Palladium he sang and played the guitar to Daddy’s Little Girl by Ernie Halte. He dedicated the song to his daughters, as the song had become part of the “soundtrack of their life”, the Manchester Evening News reports.
