Chloe Hickinbottom chose Moon River as semi final song, and was greeting to raptuous applause and cheers from the audience.

Ant and Dec asked Chloe if she had had fun, and she replied “It was brilliant.

“It’s the biggest performance I’ve ever done and I hope my family’s proud of me.”

“I’m sure they are,” replied Ant and Dec, to which the audience cheered some more.

“It’s my dream to sing,” continued Chloe.

The judges comments were also very positive about Chloe’s performance, with Piers Morgan saying that Chloe proved that Britain’s Got Talent, to which Amanda Holden wittily chipped in “Little Britain’s Got Talent!”

Amanda added that she thought that Chloe’s voice was stronger than in the audition, that she liked the song and that the song fitted Chloe’s voice perfectly.

Simon added that he was happy to admit that he was wrong (about Chloe singing a more contemporary song).

He said: “I’m happy to admit that I’m wrong. You know what sort of artist you want to be, I think you are destined for the West End. You have that kind of voice, that kind of personality and incredible confidence for a 10 year old girl.”

However, he added the caveat: “I’m not sure I see you as a recording artist. But I definitely see you with a big career on stage – so congratulations!”

We’re rooting – and voting – for you, Chloe!

Simon Cowell, who was absent from the judging panel due to illness when Chloe Hickinbottom gave her stunning rendition of “White Cliffs of Dover”, has labelled the song choice as “too old fashioned”.

He told Bang Showbiz: “I would have asked her to sing something more contemporary.

“That is what happens when I am not on the show. The song was too old-fashioned.”

It will be interesting to see what Chloe’s song choice will be for the semi-final.
