The world with her performance on Britain’s Got Talent as a child
I thas been 16 years since Connie Talbot captured the nation’s hearts on Britain’s Got Talent with her spine-tingling rendition of Over the Rainbow.
Striking a pose for the camera as she joins hello! for this exclusive interview and photoshoot to celebrate the release of her new music, the singer is almost unrecognisable from the gap-toothed youngster who was catapulted to fame at the tender age of six.
Connie’s life changed overnight when she impressed music mogul Simon Cowell – who described her voice as “pure magic” – and his fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan on the first series of the ITV talent show, making it all the way to the 2007 final before being pipped at the post by tenor Paul Potts.
