ITV Britain's Got Talent viewers gobsmacked as they uncover singer's BBC past

Britain's Got Talent viewers were gobsmacked as they uncovered a contestant's showbiz past.

Fans were thrilled as the popular ITV talent contest returned tonight. Saturday's episode saw another round of audition as the judges aim to find a new star to perform at the Royal Variety.

Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell were wowed by Abi Carter-Simpson's performance in tonight's episode. The teacher appeared on stage with her ukulele and performed a heartwarming song to encourage children to follow their dreams.

Abi sailed through as she received a standing ovation and four yeses from the judges. Viewers following the show on Twitter were similarly impressed with Abi's musical talents.

Dean said: "Loved Abi Carter-Simpson, that was class."

Donna added: "Well done #Abi#BGT @BGT lovely message and rather quirky tune x"

TK tweeted: "Abi was so good bless her heart and what a lovely message in that little song"

However, other fans uncovered how Britain's Got Talent wasn't Abi's first performance on TV. Abi has appeared on BBC show, All Together Now, which saw a performer try to convince people to sing along with them.

Abi has also appeared in Sky 1 show, Agatha Raisin & The Deadly Dance - and has also performed in West End shows. Fans took to Twitter after they found the rising star's profile with talent agency Glorious Management.
