Britain’s Got Talent star Amy Lou Smith revealed that she gave birth to a baby girl hours before her audition aired to the public.

During Saturday’s debut, which saw the return of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and newcomer Bruno Tonioli, Amy wowed the panel and the crowd with her rendition of Beyonce’s Listen.

‘That was by far my favourite audition so far,’ Alesha enthused.

Amanda added: ‘The moment you started singing I was covered in goosebumps. I was thinking your baby is probably having a lovely little sleep in there and the she’s gone ‘oh, here we go!’. You are a star.’

Amy Lou, who is also mum to a four-year-old son, said that her newborn baby Aida ‘is absolutely perfect and healthy in every single form.’

‘I am so overwhelmed with all the love and support I’ve received from being on the show I cannot put into words how in love we are with our perfect little girl. She’s made the family complete,’ she told The Mirror.

‘We didn’t know my audition would be airing this weekend until the day before and I was already booked in to have Aida – so we were so shocked! I hadn’t told anybody on the show I was having her this weekend – so it’s crazy!’

BGT first aired in 2007 and has since produced a number of stars, including dance troupe Diversity, tenor singer Paul Potts, and arguably the most successful contestant from the show, Susan Boyle.

Everything from dancers and singers to comedians and magicians will hit the stage in the hopes of impressing the judges and earning a spot at this year’s Royal Variety Performance as well as a cash prize.

Last night also saw the first golden buzzer act, which was pressed by Bruno.

Ugandan dance act Ghetto Kids had the judges on their feet and the former Strictly Come Dancing star was so impressed, he pressed the coveted buzzer halfway through their performance.

Britain’s Got Talent airs tonight at 7:45pm on ITV.
