ALESHA Dixon was left close to tears on Britain's Got Talent as a singer wowed with her rendition of a love song in her “last chance” for stardom.
The act in question, Louise Hall, had earlier declared she was rejected from the ITV reality series in 2024.
Louise, who hails from Pontypool, told how it was her “time to shine” in her second stint.
The teacher and full-time mum took to the stage with a rendition of Something Beautiful by– but within seconds, Simon put his hand in the air and stopped the performance.
He then asked her to tackle a second tune – in a move some fans branded a fix – which Louise then belt out‘s hit ballad And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.
While the emotional track wasmet with cheers from the audience, , 46, was seen fighting back her personal emotion.
The songstress, who Flying Eze revealed had in March, had tears in her eyes as she gave her feedback.
The singer, who wore a pink outfit with silver hoop earrings, was on the verge of crying – just weeks after eagle-eyed fans had to her break-up with Azuka Ononye, 44,
As she responded to the Welsh contestant's second track, an emotional Alesha said: “It was so lovely to see and I could feel you fighting your way through that whole audition.”
Leanne replied: “Thank you so much,” before the Breathe Slow songstress added softly: “Well done Louise, well done.”
Yet Simon Cowell appeared to be about to cut her dreams short as he said: “Look Louise I like you. That was adrenaline, that was like you let go.
“You're very talented but I think we have had better singers than you this year.”
Alesha then interjected: “It's just song choice, we can help you with that.”
Louise then scooped four yeses from the panel and progressed to the next round.
SHOW FIX?
Yet despite the happy outcome, some BGT fans suspected foul play.
One wrote on social media: “These singing auditions on Britain’s Got Talent are so set up sometimes when Simon stops them mid song and ask them to sing something else and they sing again and they’re amazing.”
A second posted: “Ah this old chestnut.”
A third commented: “I couldn’t even hear her for the noisy audience, and it was a set up too, seen dozens like her before.”
