Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Faryl Smith has landed a 2.3 million record deal this week, the biggest ever for a British schoolchild.

Faryl was snapped up by the label that made Katherine Jenkins a household name, Universal Classics and Jazz.

Faryl told The Sun: “This is about the opportunity of a lifetime.

“Singing is my passion and to have the opportunity to make a career of it at such a young age is a dream come true.”
