Twelve year old singer, Faryl Smith is reported to have almost pulled out of the Britain’s Got Talent competition after she feared that she was too young for fame.

Faryl and her parents decided after her first appearance that the attention may be too much for Faryl at such a young age, however judge Simon Cowell rang the family three times and guaranteed them that he would look after the girl personally.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: “The reaction Faryl got from that first audition was incredible. But her parents felt completely overwhelmed by it all. They weren’t sure that at just 12 Faryl was ready for the attention.

“They spoke at length to Faryl and it was agreed she would pull out of the competition. But as soon as the news got to Cowell he was straight on the phone. And in three calls he managed to get them to change their minds. He reassured them by saying that he would personally look after her.”
