Britain’s Got Talent’s judges were left absolutely amazed on Saturday night over a teacher’s incredible singing voice.
During the latest instalment, Taryn Charles, who uses music to help students with special educational needs, performed (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin. The stunning performance received a standing ovation from the audience and all four judges, with Bruno Tonioli hitting the coveted Golden Buzzer.
After taking to the stage, Taryn, from Egham in Surrey, said she wanted to audition as she loves to “make people smile” and she feels her voice is “all right”. She also said one of her students had come to support her and that she uses music to help her pupils, who have special educational needs.
Following the stunning routine, the audience chanted for Bruno to hit the Golden Buzzer to which he did as gold confetti fell all over the stage and a shocked Taryn fell to her knees and was joined by her student, their mother and Bruno on stage.

Bruno admitted he had been initially concerned about her song choice, and he was comparing her with the version by Carole King, who co-wrote the song. He added: “You made me forget about her version. You made it so much your own, with so much feeling, and your voice is unique and you’re a very, very special person my darling.”
Fellow judge Simon Cowell said he could see she was nervous and felt someone might have told her she was not good enough in the past, which she said was true. He continued: “Boy did you prove that person wrong and that is what that Golden Buzzer is all about, you are a little
star.” Taryn was left overcome with emotion as she broke down in tears over the amazing achievement, joking to hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: “I think I’ve wet myself!”
It comes as Britain’s Got Talent is in a huge ITV schedule shake-up next week. The hit competition show typically airs on Saturday evenings with occasional double bills on Sundays for the launch of the series or finals. However, next week, Britain’s Got Talent will be pulled from its usual Saturday schedule and will instead air on Sunday night.
Instead of getting Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday 11 May, In With A Shout and Casino Royale will be airing from 7pm until 10:40pm. However, despite not airing on Saturday evening, BGT will instead air on Sunday 12 May at 7:40pm. It comes as the Eurovision Song Contest
2024 will be airing on Saturday 11 May from 8pm until 11:55pm on BBC One, where Olly Alexander will represent the United Kingdom and perform hit track Dizzy.
