Amanda Holden supported a Britain's Got Talent act who was left in tears during their audition.

The latest episode of the ITV show saw guitarist Olly Pearson, 11, take to the stage with a performance of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. He ended up receiving the golden buzzer from Amanda, 54, who was particularly impressed - with her saying "a star is born" as part of her feedback.

Addressing the performance, she said: "Oh my God, Olly, I mean literally a star is born. I have never, ever seen anything like that in my life." Following chants from the audience at the venue, she said: "I just think you deserve the golden buzzer."

Olly was seen in tears after golden confetti fell onto the stage, before being joined by Amanda, who provided some comfort. She said: "Don't cry it's good." She went on to add: "It's a good thing. Well done, well done. So good."

Alesha Dixon said in her feedback that she had thought he was "gonna go far" from early on in the audition. She added: "Congratulations on a well deserved golden buzzer."

Guest judge KSI said: "You're eleven and you're already a star. I love it! It was crazy. You were like a completely different person, especially when you're right here in front of us looking in our eyes and just playing your heart out. Fully deserved that golden buzzer.

Whilst Simon Cowell told Olly, who is now through to the semi-finals: "You already have your own distinct sound, which usually people take decades. You're that good. I mean, seriously good. That was brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Good for you."
