Bruno Tonioli stunned by 13-year-old dancer’s ‘breathtaking’ BGT audition

Bruno Tonioli was left stunned after an emotional 13-year-old’s Britain’s Got Talent performance.

Schoolgirl Lilliana Clifton won over the hearts of the judges, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell as well as the audience at the London Palladium.

Showing off her incredible moves on stage, including technical gymnastic tricks, the dancer performed to James Arthur’s Train Wreck.

And while Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly left clapping along by the stage with her dad, the judges were left on their feet.

‘My darling, you are a powerhouse of drama, what a performance!’ Bruno said.

‘You’re a dramatic actress as well as a fantastic dancer,’ he added, calling her gymnastics ‘out of this world’.

Alesha added: ‘Technically, I haven’t seen anything like that, for a long, long time.

‘I’m quite speechless actually.’

Meanwhile, Amanda compared her to a ‘hummingbird,’ while Simon agreed that she had ‘put in the work,’ and scored Lilliana a ‘ten’.

‘She danced with so much heart,’ Alesha added.

Viewers at home were just as impressed, with one writing: ‘Holy crap this girl is incredible.’

Another penned: ‘That was breathtakingly good.’

‘To be able to dance like that at the age of 13 is something else… woah,’ someone else wrote.

Britain’s Got Talent airs Saturdays at 8pm on ITV1.
