Where you've seen the Britain's Got Talent 10-year-old singing sensation before

She brought Britain's Got Talent viewers to tears with her powerful rendition of Never Enough from The Greatest Showman - and many were trying to work out where they had seen her before.

Ten-year-old Souparnika Nair's soaring voice sent her through to the next stage of the ITV talent contest, but this wasn't the first time she's been on telly showing off her singing talents.

"Anyone watching #BGT recognise the amazing young lady who just sang? I’ve seen her on something previously and recognise her but can’t place where I’ve seen her. What brilliant talent!!" exclaimed one viewer.

If you think she looks familiar, it's because she was on Michael McIntyre's Big Show last year.

She appeared in Michael's Unexpected Star of the Show weekly segment on the BBC entertainment show.

Comedian Michael took on the disguise of Kenny McDougall, a children's career advisor helping her to decide between being a singer, a doctor, a scientist or a dancer.

After he'd revealed his true identity he invited her to perform at the London Palladium and she became Michael's youngest ever Unexpected Star of the Show belting out I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables.

"The young girl on BGT was on Michael McIntyre as the unexpected star of the show," realised one viewer.

"I knew she’d been on telly before: she was an Unexpected Star on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show," said another.

"I first heard this girl in the audience at Michael McIntyre and she never fails to impress!" said another fan.

She wowed judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams and Simon Cowell on BGT and viewers watching at home.

"Little girl singing from the greatest showman ...wow absolutely wow, she was fantastic," said one fan.

"The song Never Enough from the greatest showman is a big song for a little girl even I can’t sing it as got some really huge notes in it," said another.

"She smashed that song," tweeted another fan.
