So, what would YOU do? You’ve just auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent with your best friend but Simon only likes you. That’s the dilemma that faced Sue Son - whether or not to dump best friend Janine and go it alone. It must’ve been a tough decision but she made it, auditioned again on her own and it paid off - but at what price? We’d never do that would we Ant?…..Ant!?

Jamie Pugh, the warehouse worker and pizza deliveryman from Wales was another act that got everyone talking this week. He performed Bring Him Home from Les Miserables but was so incredibly nervous. He was shaking and sweating with stage fright and we genuinely didn’t know if he was going to manage to sing a note, never mind bring the house down in the way that he did. It was brilliant, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house on the day or amongst you lot watching at home I bet. He was actually the very last person to audition on our last day, which in itself would be nerve wracking, but to overcome his nerves and put in a performance like he did was brilliant. It was a great way to finish the tour.
We had one of the weirdest auditions in BGT history this week in the form of Kay from Glasgow who impersonated a saxophone. Simon compared the sound to a screaming baby and he wasn’t far off. It was like he was playing an invisible saxophone as he still had his hands in the right places - whilst squealing away. He said he was head and shoulders above his contemporaries and we agree. He is undisputedly the best in the world at what he does. That’s admittedly because no-one else in the world does it though! Amazingly, he went through because as is so often the case, Simon hated it so Piers and Amanda decided it would be fun to gang up on him and put Kay through anyway.


There was A LOT of variety this week ranging from Brian who came on and played his nose (there was snot everywhere!) to the three pensioners who made up Knit and Natter, the trio who came onstage and knitted whilst they had, you guessed it - had a natter. It did exactly what it said on the tin and even inspired Ant to try his hand at finger knitting a scarf whilst watching the act. We can assure you all that said scarf is finished and looks as hideous and holy as it did at the show!
Calum Francis went through after his performance from Oliver! not so much for his singing but because the judges decided he had the ‘likeability factor’. This has given us an idea for a new talent show, we’re sure it’d be a ratings winner, ‘The Likeability Factor’, is the show in which we tour the country looking for Britain’s best undiscovered likeable person. The auditions would feature average people be people being really, reeeeaaalllly nice in front of a panel of judges that would include ‘Lovely’ Lorraine Kelly, ‘Pleasant’ Phillip Schofield and ‘Terrible’ Trevor McDonald as TV’s new Mr. Nasty. It’s a hit! We’re still keeping the faith for Newcastle Utd staying in the Premiership and technically; we’re still in it. We’re hopefully going to go to the next game against Middlesbrough to shout the lads on; it’s a local derby too, which will add a bit of spice. It’s a massive game for us and we’re in same position as we were this time last week, so fingers crossed everyone! Catch you soon x

Glad you’re catching up Dec..hope you win..sorry Ant lol. Stephen’s skating lol, shame he fell over but at least it was off stage although i think Simon noticed lol, i loved that you had to help him back across the stage. Oh btw Ant, i hope your wardrobe was fitted alright lol. It’s a shame about Newcastle Utd at the moment..i don’t know much about football lol but i’ve been doing my research and i’m keeping my fingers crossed for them, for your sake as i know how devoted you are as fans and i don’t want you feeling :(.
