I'm here to shine,
and do things my way.

I love it! Wow!

AS DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: And
here we have the lesser-spotted,

majestic Simon Cowell.

LAUGHTER

This creature lives
an honest and basic existence.

And can often be seen jet-skiing
off the coast of Barbados

with one simple thought running
through its mind.

# I'm too sexy for my shirt

# Too sexy for my shirt

# So sexy it hurts. #

I mean, it was extraordinary.

One incredible surprise
after another.

I was wildly entertained
from start to finish.

It was brilliant.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ALESHA: Amanda?

Brilliantly innovative.
Very funny.

I mean, I didn't know robots
had a sense of humour.

Simon?
It was absolutely amazing.

I can't believe
we're gonna get to perform

at the London Palladium, Chuck.

You'll be all right.

Best of luck.

We are, yeah, we're brother
and sister.

Mum's here tonight.

AMANDA: Aw, Mum! Hello, Mum!

When did you decide this is what
you wanna do?

Since I was, what, nine years old.
You were seven.

Our parents owned a holiday park.
And that's where it all began. Wow.

We just kept going and kept going,
and now we're here today,

and we can't wait to show you
what we've got.

OK, and what's the dream?
Tell me.

The big tours.

The Vegas residency,
hopefully, who knows?

Great. All right, well, listen,
we have an amazing audience tonight.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And we are rooting for you,
so good luck.

Thank you.

For years and years,

many illusionists,
magicians all over the world

do the beautiful art form
called quick-change.

Now, quick-change
would use a hoop like this.

A beautiful costume and a girl.

And the costume would change
like this.

Pretty cool, right?
But this is Britain's Got Talent,

and we like to do things
differently.

This is the human quick-change.

GASPING

Yah!

LAUGHTER,
AMANDA CACKLES

I had to have a quick look
to make sure he was still there.

LAUGHTER

CHEERING

WOLF-WHISTLE

Yo!

How's he done that?
What the...? What?!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, we weren't expecting that.

And look at your reaction.

You weren't expecting that,
were you?

No.

David?

When Simon came out
in that red dress,

this is like one of my dreams
come to life!

LAUGHTER

You reinvented the trick
each time you did it.

It was dazzling.

I am saying yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It was good
old-fashioned entertainment.

And that's what
Britain's Got Talent is all about.

I'm gonna say yes.
Thank you.

ALESHA: It was fun, it was quick.
Surprising.

I'm saying yes!

CHEERING

Er, I agree with everything
everybody's said.

It was a little bit corny.

No!

The music was a bit manic
and everything.

AUDIENCE GROAN

And then...

...it got great!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You've got four yeses.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ALESHA: Oh, I love them.

It doesn't matter how long
we haven't been with each other,

it just feels like yesterday.

This feels good, doesn't it?
It feels right. It feels right.

I love the dicky bow tie.
I love everything about this.

How are you both feeling about going
on stage here at the Palladium?

I'm a bit nervous.

I'm excited.
OK.

Shall we do it?
Yeah.

It's all yours.

Good luck, pal.
Thanks.

Welcome to Britain's Got Talent.

Two years now.
Wow.

Just, er, the first lockdown.

CHEERING

'I live with my mum, my dad,
my brother and my sister.'

A proper northern family.

'My nan bought me a monkey puppet.'

I started watching
quite a lot of videos

and learning ventriloquism.

Big family hug.
Big family hug.

Yay!

There's quite a lot of people.

'My biggest dream is Vegas...
Hollywood.'

My name in the stars.

CHEERING

Here in the home of entertainment.

So this is a big moment
and we are all rooting for you.

So take it away.

CHEERING

Say hello, Chuck.

Hello, Chuck.

LAUGHTER

No, I mean, say hello,
as in say hello to the audience.

No, I mean, say hello,
as in say hello to the audience.

LAUGHTER

He's good, isn't he?
Yes.

I suppose you find that funny.

Yeah, I'm a comedi-hen!

LAUGHTER

Terrible.
You said it.

LAUGHTER

It's all about having a laugh,
isn't it?

Where would you be without a laugh,
eh, Chuck?

Sat in David's seat.

LAUGHTER

My friend Chuck here is very clever.

So, Chuck, I'd like to hear you say,

"Peter Piper picked a peck
of pickled peppers.

"A peck of pickled peppers,
Peter Piper picked."

So would I.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

I like these two, they're good!

You're such a good friend.

Thanks, Chuck.

Give us a kiss.
Stop it!

SONG: "Me And My Shadow'

# Like the wallpaper
Sticks to the wall

# Like the seashore
Clings to the sea

# Like you'll never get rid
Of your shadow

# Chuck, you'll never get rid of me

# Before we get finished
We'll make the town roar

# Oh, yeah?

# We'll make all the late spots
And then a few more

# Come on

# We'll wind up at Jilly's
Right after Toot's Shore

# Life is gonna be a we-wow-whee

# For my shadow

# And me

# Look out, little Chucky is back!

# Yeah! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

AMANDA: Oh, I loved it.

DAVID: Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, pal!

Look how chuffed he is, man.

You have an incredible talent.

Not just ventriloquism,
but to entertain people.

I just thought that was
absolutely wonderful.

Thank you. Thanks.

Yeah, I absolutely loved that.
It was so slick.

All the while thinking, "I cannot
believe you are 13 years old."

It was very, very funny.

And Chuck is very, very naughty.
And I love Chuck's sense of humour.

Chucky, did you think it went well?
Yeah.

Did you feel nervous before?

No, I was excited, he was nervous.

LAUGHTER

Well, you absolutely smashed that.

And, Chucky, I think
you've got a future.

Thanks.

CHEERING

I always believe
you've got to believe

that what you're holding is real,
and I did.

David, yes or no?

Oh, an incredibly easy yes.

CHEERING

I'm saying yes.

I'm gonna try something.
Hang on, come here, Amanda.

SIMON AS AMANDA:
It's yeses from me.

LAUGHTER

And that's Amanda.

And now you've got four yeses
from me.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very likeable.

That was wonderful!

It was, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was amazing.

Yes!

Can I give you a little
stroke on the...?

# High, high hopes for a living

# Shooting for the stars
When I couldn't make a killing

# Didn't have a dime
But I always had a vision... #

That's right. "Don't worry",
he said.

OK. Is everyone all right?
Yeah.

Good for you, getting back on
after that. That took guts.

Amanda?

God knows how your parents feel.

My heart was in my mouth
throughout all of that.

I love the camaraderie between you,

you know, the sort of rubbing
of helmets, the first bump.

I taught them that.

I did that.

No, you didn't!

LAUGHTER

Just pretend!

Alesha?
I love the team spirit here.

That's what it's about.
You stick together.

David?

You're all very naughty boys,
and you must never do that again (!)

Look at his face!

I'm only joking.
Don't worry, I'm only joking.

What made it even better was you had
the guts to get back up again,

you helped each other.
It was fun.

I'm never letting Eric, my son,
watch this audition, though.

LAUGHTER

OK, we're gonna vote now. David?

I love seeing children risk
their lives for entertainment.

LAUGHTER

So I'm saying yes!

I'm saying yes.

It is an easy yes from me.

Now the one that matters.
LAUGHTER

You have now...

four yeses.

Four!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Didn't have a dime
But I always had a vision

# Always had high, high hopes... #

Oh, when they fell over,
I thought he wouldn't get back up.

Bless him, he came back on.

Oh, my God, that was so good.
Terrifying.

Woo-woo!

What do you think?

CRASH

No, no, don't do that.
Don't do that.

What is next?

# Holding back the flood
In the skyscraper town... #

I just like the fact
that we get to jump on stage

and perform as a family.

# You don't know what you got

# But you got it
At your fingertips... #

So, how excited are you?

I'm excited already.

# You got it in you... #

Let's do this!
I feel hyped.

Let's go, let's do this!

Follow me.

# I know you think your fire
Is burning out... #

Hello, there.
Best of luck.

THEY SHOUT

CLUNK

Ooh!

Four yeses, guys.

Yeah, sick, brilliant.

THEY CHEER

Yeah, well done!

I wanna go home
and hug my daughter now. I know.

APPLAUSE

Oh, my God.

So cute.

You're joking! It's my mum.
You're joking.

You got it in you.

Who have we got here? Hello.

Callie.
Callie.

Savannah.
Savannah.

And are you sisters?
Yes. Yes.

Who have you brought with you today?

Nanny.

Is she your mummy's mummy,
or your daddy's mummy?

Daddy's mummy.

OK, brilliant. And can I ask,
Savannah, how old are you?

Three.
Amazing.

And, Callie, how old are you?
Four.

Aww.

Cute.

What are we here for?

To surprise Dad.

AUDIENCE: Aww!

What's going on?

Well, Nick doesn't know anything
about it.

And we're surprising him,
cos we want him to come and sing,

cos he sings a lovely song
for the girls.

APPLAUSE

Come along, Nick!

CHEERING

I've just seen him.

Unbelievable.

Come on, Nick!

Come on, Nick!

He can't believe it.

Oh, my goodness me.

THE GIRLS GIGGLE

Oh, wow.
LAUGHTER

You just thought you were having
a lovely day out.

I did.

We had a whole day planned.

Well, that's changed.

This is a complete shock to me.

He said he'd never do it,
so we had to do it for him.

Why did you say you'd never do it?
I think, over the years,

I've lost a lot of confidence
in my singing.

So, erm...

Yeah, I tend to do it at home
in the shower.

LAUGHTER

Oh, my gosh!

I tell you what, why don't you
go off, grab a glass of water,

and then come back on?

Would that be a good idea?

APPLAUSE

Oh, my God. Can you imagine?

Catch your breath,
prepare a little bit. Thank you.

And we'll get you back
a little bit later.

Oh, my God. What have you done?

THE GIRLS LAUGH

Poor thing.
He already seemed a bit choked up.

# Tried to keep you close to me

# But life got in between

# Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes

# Hold back the river... #

Follow me.

# Lonely water... #

They're ready for you now on stage.
You ready for them?

I can be quite nervous, so, yeah,

I suppose just throwing me
in the deep end is...

Probably the best way.
Easiest way to do it.

It's all yours. Have fun out there.
Good luck, pal.

Enjoy it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes

# Hold back the river so I

# Let us hold each other. #

SIMON: Nick.

Literally thought you'd run away.
LAUGHTER

HE CHUCKLES

I notice you've got your words down
there, which is totally fine.

Do whatever it takes
to get through it.

It's a song that I felt
quite attached to,

so I sing it quite a lot
around the house,

so hopefully I'U keep
the nerves and the crying away

whilst I'm singing it...

Bless you.

OK, we are all rooting for you,
aren't we?

Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

GUITAR INTRO

# I'l admit I was terrified... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Till the moment I saw your eyes

# I became a different man

# When I held your tiny hand in mine

# Yes, the first words
I heard you say

# I remember it like yesterday

# Love is blowing in a breeze

# And you're growing up
Right in front of me

# Daddy's little girls

# Precious little angel

# Dancing in the living room

# And drawing on the table

# Wearing Mamma's pearls

# Putting on her makeup

# Even though I know these moments
They won't last forever

# To me

# You'll always be

# Daddy's little girls

# Someday, you'll be
Dressed in white

# Al gracious with butterflies

# But in my mind I'llL let you go

# In my heart you know
You'll always stay

# Until then I cherished
Every kiss goodnight

# And every door you slam
And every little fight

# I'll be there for you
Even when I'm gone

# You'll just listen to this song

# Like nothing's changed at all

# You're still Daddy's little girls

# Precious little angels

# Dancing in the living room

# And drawing on the table

# Wearing Mamma's pearls

# Putting on her makeup

# Even though I know these moments
They won't last forever

# To me

# You'll always be

# Yeah, to me

# You'll always be

# You're still
Daddy's little girls. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I can't believe it's true... #

Oh, that was wonderful, wasn't it?

Oh!

So sweet. You've got a nice voice.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You have such a beautiful voice.

It's just... That was a really,
really lovely surprise.

What did you think, David?
Well, it was just so moving.

From start to finish
and, you know, just...

You just looked like you
were going to burst into tears

on every word, actually.

It felt like there
was not a dry eye in the house.

And that really hit me emotionally
more than anything else today.

Well, it was absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you.

Me and Alesha are in bits.
We have to vote.

I'm gonna say yes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's a yes from me.

It's a yes from me.

Well, I think you've got
4,004 yeses.

# I get to love you... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Aw! Well done, Nick.

Thank you!

Argh! Nick,
look what you've done to us all.

THEY LAUGH

There's not a dry eye in the house.
Oh, man.

Oh, my God. That was so moving.

Yay!

# I get to love you... #

'You can't see me.'

ALESHA: Did you touch that?
No, I didn't touch it.

I don't know what's going on.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

# Well, I heard that the boogaloo
Is out of sight... #

Have you seen all the costumes?

So many different characters
out there.

# Showing you
How to do it right... #

I cannot wait
for all the glitz and glam.

Ugh!
And seeing the judges as well.

# Twisting

# Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, baby... #

I want to see something
I've never seen before.

Which is still possible on this
show. That's the beauty of it.

The element of surprise.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, they've drawn the curtain.

BUZZER

AUDIENCE: Aww!
What?!

Jim, you make the costume yourself?

I did, yeah.
Can I ask why?

I've always wanted to make
a crow costume.

LAUGHTER

Always wanted to make crow costume.
Oh, well. There you are.

It's a real shame, cos I really
thought you were gonna make it,

but, no.
LAUGHTER

So, you've got four "crows".

# When I die
And they lay me to rest... #

Go on, Jim!

# Gonna go to the place
That's the best

# When I lay me down to die... #
You all right, Jim?!

# Going up
To the spirit in the sky... #

Come on, Jim.

Guys, that was honestly...

Worth the two-year wait.
..amazing.

ECHOING VOICE: 'You can't see me.

'You'll never see me.

'I'm invisible.

STAGE LEFT: 'But I'm here.

STAGE RIGHT: 'Or over here.'

Right now, I'm standing
right in front of one of the judges.

No...
BUZZER

SCREAMING
What?!

EVIL LAUGH

Did you touch that?
No, I didn't touch it.

I don't know what's going on.

'Amanda, please follow me
up onto the stage.'

Why is it always you?
Oh, it's me!

'Come and take a seat.'

I don't like it.

'I'm just going to grab
something from over here.'

AUDIENCE GASP

Oh!

'Amanda, please hold
the balloon by the stick.

'Balloons are the first thing
that we all learn to lose.

'Like the child that lost
this balloon earlier today.

'They thought it was a gust of wind.

'It wasn't, it was... me.

'I stole it
to teach a lesson in loss.'

SCREAMING,
EVIL LAUGH

'You might think it was rather
mean to burst the balloon like that,

'but losing things is
an important part of life.

'I'll show you what I mean.

'Amanda, the box on this trolley
is the theatre's lost property box.

'Please open the lid.

'Without showing anyone, Amanda,

'yvou will take one of the items

'and place it under the cloth
on the trolley.

'Being invisible

'means I can't have material
possessions of my own.

'So instead,
I just steal them from other people,

'and better yet,
I can compel other people

'to do my bidding.'
CLATTERING

EVIL LAUGH

'Alesha, reach in
with your right hand.

'Take a random object

'and hold it so no-one
can see what you chose.

'You are holding a secret
in your hands.

'One that nobody could
possibly know.

'Remember, you could have
taken anything from box

'and yet, Amanda knows exactly
what you have taken.'

'Amanda, I want you to take
a deep breath

'and tell everyone what Alesha
is holding in her right hand.'

A dummy.

No way.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is weird.

"But there's just one object
left to identify.

'The one that you took
at the beginning, Amanda.

'There is a piece of chalk
on the trolley.

'Please pick it up
and bring it to me over here.

'I'm standing in front
of the blackboard.

'And let go of it, Amanda.

"I will take it from here.'

CHALK SQUEAKS

How is it doing that?

AUDIENCE GASP

'Amanda, please lift the cloth

'and show everyone
what you put there.'

AUDIENCE SHOUT AND SCREAM

'Please keep hold of those keys
and take them back to your seat.

'You see, I've been amongst you
these last few days.

'It's just that no-one ever saw me.'

AUDIENCE MURMUR

They're my house keys.
Are they?

Are they...? ARE they?

'Amanda,
those keys that you randomly chose

'belong to David.'
What?!

'And, David, please look after them.

'Because next time,
I won't be so kind.'

'Goodbye.
Until I see you all again.'

EVIL LAUGH

BANG,
AUDIENCE SCREAMS

# Nothing is as it seems.

# Caught in the in between... #

I don't know what to say,
I mean, what do I do now?

There's no-one here,
I don't know what just happened.

What do you want to say
to the ghost?

I loved it and I'm confused
and I feel weird.

And me.

It's one of the most extraordinary
things we've ever seen on the show.

I love it.
So, look, let me kick this off...

with a yes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's a yes from me.

Well, I'm gonna say yes, of course.
He's got me...

I mean, I feel like he wants me
to say yes.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Don't know where you are,
by the way. Er...

You could be anywhere...
Erm, assuming you're up there,

in which case, you have four yeses.
Congratulations.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You just guessed
that I had a dummy?

It was the weirdest thing. The
first thing that came into my head.

Er, spooky.

Spooky, it's fantastic.
I loved that kind of stuff.

MUSIC: 'The Greatest Show'

# You wanna go where it's covered
In all the coloured lights... #

BUZZER

That sound is scary!

They're louder than you think
they are, right?

Right, right. Brr!
It's making me nervous.

If you could watch one movie for the
rest of your life, what would it be?

The Greatest Showman, I'll be happy!

I've seen that film
so many times, as well.

The songs in it are amazing.

# Oh, this is the greatest show... #

Are you ready to come and perform?
Yes.

Follow me.
Thank you.

Good luck!
It's all yours.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Oh, this is the greatest show. #

Whoa, look at his trousers!
Good evening. My name is Ferdinand.

Ferdinand,
is this what you do full-time?

No, I just love to sing for people,
move their hearts.

The song that you're singing,
why did you choose it?

It's one of
your all-time favourites,

and I made my own
unique version of it.

I hope, er, you all will like it.

APPLAUSE
Good luck.

Thank you.

I would feel pressure.

SONG: "Never Enough'

DEC: Ooh! It's not what I expected.

# I'm trying to hold my breath

# You set off a dream in me... #

What is the song?

I don't know!
Why do you think I know?

# Can you hear it echoing? #

Do you know what it is yet?

# Al the shine of
A thousand spotlights

# All the stars
We steal from the night sky

# Will never be enough

# Never be enough

# For me, never, never

# Never, never... #
BUZZER

# Never, never, for me

# For me-e-e

# Al the shine of
A thousand spotlights

# All the stars
We steal from the night sky

# Will never be enough

# Never be enou-ou-ough

# Fo-o--or, for me-e-e. #

BUZZER

You took your time!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.
HE GIGGLES

DEC: Ha, the audience love it!
That was fun!

SIMON: Ferdinand, look,
I really like you.

Thank you very much.

However, that WAS my favourite
song of all time.

LAUGHTER

Not any more!
OK.

It's like losing...
It's like losing a friend.

No!
You've just murdered it.

CROWD BOO
I'm gonna start this with a no,

but I think I know
where this is heading.

Ferdinand!

I have to say I loved your version,
and I'm gonna say yes to you.

Thank you very much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# And I know that
I deserve your love... #

This is just one of those
moments where

we all have different tastes...

Yes.
..and unfortunately...

.I didn't like it,
so I'm saying no.

Oh.
CROWD BOOING

I'm sorry, Ferdinand,
but you know what,

you've made us all happy tonight,
so job done.

Well done, Ferdinand.
Thank you so much.

Come back and see us soon.
Thank you so much.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Do you want to go and perform?
Let's do it.

Come with me.

# I make no apologies
This is me... #

I didn't like that at all.

I actually don't wanna hear it
ever again.

Everything was terrible.

SHE SIGHS

That was a... That was a big sigh.
I know!

I'm a little bit nervous,
but I'm excited.

Are you singing for us today?
Yes. OK.

They're ready if you are.
OK.

Ooh!
Best of luck.

It's all yours.
All right.

# Gonna drown 'em out

# Oh, this is me. #

APPLAUSE

Welcome. And what's your name?
My name's Loren.

And where are you from?
From Brooklyn, New York.

APPLAUSE
Is that right?

Yes.
So why Britain's Got Talent?

Most of my favourite singers
are from the UK,

so I thought I'd come
pay a visit to you guys.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. So, Loren,
tell me a bit about you.

Uh, I think some of you guys
have actually heard my voice,

but you don't know my face.

Um... I sang the song Never Enough
on The Greatest Showman.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Blew their minds!

Oh, my God!

So I was hired to do the reference
vocals for the actresses,

so they could learn the songs,

and so they had me come in
and sing Never Enough,

and it really was Rebecca Ferguson,
who plays Jenny Lind, who said,

"I think that Loren should
sing the song, and I'l lip-sync."

So, you sang one of
the biggest songs of all time...

You've now revealed it
wasn't the actress

who sang the song in the movie,

it was you singing that song,

so why didn't you get that big deal
after the song?

I was more comfortable singing
behind-the-scenes,

but I feel kind of like the song
was meant for me

and I'm kind of ready to
put a face to the song, so...

I'm here to do that.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Are you going to sing that tonight?
Yes!

Such a great thing to watch.

Good luck.

Here we go. Breathe, girl.

# Take my hand

# Will you share this with me?

# Cos, darling, without you

# Al the shine of
A thousand spotlights

# All the stars
We steal from the night sky

# Will never be enough

# Never be enough

# Towers of gold
Are still too little...

Whoo! Go on, Loren!
# These hands could hold the world

# But it'll never be enough

# Never be enough... #

DEC: She's got a standing ovation
already!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Never, never

# Never, never

# Never, for me

# For me

# Never enough, never, never

# Never enough... #
Go on, Loren!

# Never enough

SONG: 'A Million Dreams'

# I close my eyes and I can see

# The world that's waiting up for me

# That I call my own... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# The brightest colours
Fill my head...

Yes!

# A million dreams
Are keeping me awake

# I think of what the world could be

# A vision of the one I see

# A million dreams
Is all it's gonna take

# A million dreams
For the world we're gonna make

# For the world
We're gonna make... #

Thank you so much!

Oh, my God. Oh, thank you.
Congratulations.

That was just unbelievable.

You were so emotional at
the beginning, as well. Brilliant.

Oh, that's so nice!

She got the recognition
that she deserves.

AMANDA: I am absolutely shaking.

I can't believe I've had
this incredible opportunity

to give you your moment to shine,
cos this is it.

We were just in the palm of your
hand from, like, the first note.

I can't think there's been many
experiences on this show

where we've ever had THAT feeling.

ALESHA: It feels like
a superstar's arrived.

Like, it was... It transcended.
It was otherworldly.

Whoo!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is so well-deserved,

because seeing somebody else
sing that song in that movie

and not have the recognition

of doing one of the most incredible
vocals ever...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And now, for you to kind of
reveal yourself to the world,

it was actually one of the most
incredible audition moments

I've ever experienced.
I'm speechless.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you.

I'm so happy for you.

Timing in life is everything,
and maybe this is your moment now.

Congratulations.
Thank you so much.

Thank you.
Thank you.

# Cos every night I lie in bed

# The brightest colours fill my head

# A million dreams
Are keeping me awake... #

ANT AND DEC APPLAUD
Loren!

Oh, what just happened?

Can't believe...
I was not expecting that. No way!

I just can't believe
that happened, wow.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Doesn't get any better than that.

That was spectacular.

ALESHA: Amanda's so clever,
because I was so ready to do that.
