Janey Cutler sails through to the Britain’s Got Talent final

Janey Cutler's show stopping performance on Britain's Got Talent has won her a place in the grand final

The singing Scottish granny sailed through last night’s semi-final to win a place in Saturday’s grand final of the ITV talent search, Britain’s Got Talent.

81-year-old Janey Cutler earned her spot in the final after winning the public vote. Joining her on Saturday will be dance duo Twist and Pulse who were put through after the judges were forced to choose between them and another dance act, The Fusion.

Despite having not been a fan of dance troupe The Fusion prior to last night’s show, Simon Cowell went against the other judges’ decision to send Twist and Pulse through to the final, saying The Fusion has given a better performance. But with two votes to one, Twist and Pulse booked their slot in Saturday’s final despite Cowell’s view.

However the star of the night was Janey Cutler who stole the show with her rendition of Shirley Bassey’s hit, This Is My Life. The pensioner looked distinctly altered from her first television appearance, this time arriving onto the stage with a hunky young man on either side. The mother-of-seven wore a glittery red dress with a slick of matching red lipstick to give her show-stopping performance.

The last semi-final takes place tonight where another two acts will be voted through to the grand final. The other acts joining Janey Cutler and Twist and Pulse to battle it out to become the winner of this series of Britain’s Got Talent include Spelbound, Tobias Mead, Mark James, Emile Harris, Tyler Paterson and Ice.

Is Janey Cutler the new Susan Boyle?

Janey Cutler is gaining attention from the US after her performance on Britain's Got Talent

80-year-old Janey Cutler from Lanarkshire wowed both the judges and a TV audience of millions on Saturday night with her rousing performance of the Edith Piaf classic, No Regrets.

The great-grandmother, who was helped onto the stage by presenter Ant McPartlin, received standing ovation from all three of the Britain’s Got Talent judges including notoriously hard to please, Simon Cowell.

Since her appearance on the ITV talent show, the 80-year-old from Scotland has been drawing attention from the US with TV networks falling over themselves to get an interview with the singer many are dubbing the new Susan Boyle.

An ITV insider has revealed that a number of American TV stations have offered to fly the pensioner over to the States in order to secure the first to interview the burgeoning star.

11.7 million viewers tuned into Saturday night’s episode of the UK wide talent search to see the mother of 7 and grandmother of 12, perform on the show. Janey’s audition has also received 125,000 hits on the internet video site, YouTube. Susan Boyle rose to fame in the US after her audition tape from the talent show became an internet sensation; if early signs are anything to go by, Janey could be headed in the same direction.

The OAP singer is now through to the next round of the competition after receiving three yeses from the judging panel which is made up of Amanda Holden, Piers Morgan, and Simon Cowell.
