BGT’s Amanda Holden fights back tears as contestant uses her song

BGT judge Amanda Holden fights back tears as a young contestant uses her song to audition.

Amanda revealed the “highlight” of this series was seeing the youngster perform to Over The Rainbow, a track from her album Songs From My Heart, released in 2020.

She “got emotional” when a little girl danced to her track as part of the audition, soon will be shown on ITV competition.

She told, “A little girl came out and danced to my version of Over The Rainbow! I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s my song!’

“The proudest thing was saying to Simon, ‘That’s my version’, he made some cheeky joke about it.

“I couldn’t wait to text my husband to say, ‘Oh my God, this little girl just danced to my track!’ as he masterminded the whole album.

“It was a real emotional moment and it felt like a dream.”

It happened days after Amanda was seen reuniting with pal Simon, over the Easter weekend wearing matching loungewear suits.

They got together as show returned to screens this weekend, having enjoyed dinner recently with Joan Collins.

As they weighed in on some of their frustrations with the latest episodes, fans were eager to say the same thing in the comments section.

Many voiced their ‘fix’ fury which has been dominating social media in recent days.

They said,  “Can’t cope with the set ups that are so obvious! The American was truly undeniably amazing but it was far too set up for me!!”

Another commented, “Don’t like professionals being allowed on, it should be amateurs platform.”

A third answered Amanda’s question with, “You mean the set up rigged version?”

And a fifth said, “Shame it’s not British and showing the talents of the British public. An American Hollywood trained singer. I rest my case.”

But Loren has defended her experience in industry insisting said,  “I am an unsigned, independent artist still trying to make a name for myself.”

Loren said, “Even though I have spent a lot of years in the music industry, people don’t know who I am. Over all these years I’ve been fighting for my chance to be known and to make it.

“I have never gotten the opportunity to tell my story. That’s never happened for me.”
