BGT nurse Beth Porch watches herself on the show from hospital as she saves lives

Britain's Got Talent star Beth Porch watched herself stealing viewers' hearts as she took a well-earned break on the wards.

The 25-year-old recently recovered from coronavirus as she works on the frontline at Great Ormond Street.

The inspiring nurse wowed the judges in her previously filmed audition which was shown on Saturday night.

She sang You Taught Me What Love Is - but wasn't at home to watch it hit our screens.

But understandably dedicated Beth couldn't resist a quick watch before getting stuck in again.

Her touching song described what it was like to care for sick and dying children on the ward and the snapshot of unconditional love she saw between the children and their parents.

She captioned the snap: "Life doesn't get much more surreal than watching yourself on TV, in a spare cubicle whilst you're working a nightshift.

"My phone is blowing up right now. My song 'You Taught Me What Love Is' is available for download and streaming now! All profits donated to NHS Charities and the GOSH Charity."

She tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing mild symptoms and was forced to take a few weeks off work, but is now back to normal after recovering at home.

The nurse said: "I knew I had it as soon as I started coughing. A hospital tested me because I'm frontline staff... it felt like having the flu so I wasn't too badly off."

Viewers took to  Twitter  to express their admiration for Beth and her incredible story.
