Britain’s Got Talent star Leah Barniville looks very different five years on from her appearance on the show.
The Irish schoolgirl received a standing ovation from all four judges when she auditioned aged just 14.
The talented singer, from Co Meath in Ireland, hit all the right notes when she sang Caruso by Lucio Dalla and was hailed by talent show boss Simon Cowell.
Simon said: “I thought that was honestly incredible and you’re 14 years old.
“You don’t know how good you are. A billion per cent yes.”
The classically trained singer was joined side of stage by parents, Karen and Tim, and her little brother, Daniel who even shed a tear during her performance, and her aunt.
After all four judges gave her a yes for her incredible performance, she sailed through to the semi-finals.
Although Leah said she had performed before in other singing competitions, she admitted on the Britain’s Got Talent stage that she had done “nothing like this” before.
However, she lost on the BGT crow to musician Tokio Myers.
