In tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent show, no one is feeling more confident than 8 year old Alex Lees from Manchester, as he tells Ant & Dec he’s not at all worried about performing in front of the Judges, “I’m going to knock Simon Cowell dead, I’m going to strut my stuff and show them what I can do!”. Alex gets himself psyched up as his Mum waits emotionally backstage, but Alex certainly isn’t letting the pressure get to him as he introduces himself to the Judges saying, “I’m really confident”. Alex is going to sing to the Judges today and as he explains to them he discovered he had star quality after he entered a Pontins competition at 18 months old, “I won bonny baby twice”.

Singing Robbie and Kylie’s hit Kids Alex struts around the stage, but the Judges don’t seem impressed with his singing voice and are quick to buzz him out. “Let me give you the good news Alex” says Simon, “You are probably one of the most confident people I have ever met in my life, now the not so good news, you can’t sing very well”, “you just wait till you see me next year” retorts Alex, much to the audiences delight. But Piers and Amanda agree, they can both watch Alex but just can’t listen to him sing, as Amanda puts it, “I think you are a natural comedian, not singer”. Although Alex has tried his best, the Judges are saying a definite no to the singing but invite him back for a second audition but this time to return as a comic and not a singer. With a second chance, Alex heads off home with his Mum to practice some new material.
