A nine-year-old Britain's Got Talent contestant, Malakai Paul, wowed the judges with his impressive audition.
After a shaky start, the youngster burst into tears and singer Alesha Dixon and Malakai's mother, Toni-Ann, had to rush on to stage to comfort him.

But he then he said he wanted to continue and gave his audition a second go - performing Beyonce's 'Listen'. He managed to get through the whole song, resulting in a standing ovation as the judges gave four yeses and the crowd went wild.

At the end of the song, Alesha Dixon said: "It's very, very simple - you are a star. It's a natural raw talent, that's what we're looking for. That was amazing sweetheart."

Judge David Walliams said: "I thought that was a really, really special audition. I agree with Alesha, you're a total star."

While Simon Cowell said: "What I like about you, is that you are brave."

Malakai had been shown backstage earlier in the show, telling the camera how his favourite artists were Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Michael Jackson.
