Britain's Got Talent star admit 'overwhelmed' just hours before final
Britain's Got Talent choir Hear Our Voice will take to the stage on Saturday night
BGT choir overwhelmed with support they have been given
Just hours before the Britain's Got Talent final, a member of the Hear Our Voice choir, impacted by the Post Office scandal, confessed the group feels "overwhelmed".
The choir, which wowed judges Bruno Tonioli, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon with their performance, will take the stage again on Saturday (May 31) night.
Ahead of their appearance in the final, choir members Tim Brentnall, Jess Kaur, and Mark Wildblood spoke on Good Morning Britain, sharing their emotional journey.
Mark explained that the choir was formed as a response to the negativity surrounding the Post Office controversy: "There was so much negativity coming out of the Post Office scandal and it was a long, bureaucratic, drawn-out process that we were just fed up with all of the negativity."

He continued, "I thought, what can we do just to make something a bit more positive, so here we are. The people have all had pretty negative lives because of this but we've created something joyous."
Entertainment reporter Richard Arnold noted that the choir has not only unified the nation but also its members, who have formed strong bonds.
Mark agreed, "Absolutely, the bonding we have got within the group and we are so thankful for the support from the public to get us here it's just been phenomenal," reports Belfast Live.
As the bookies' favourite, the choir is set to captivate audiences once again with their performance. He expressed his gratitude, saying: "We're overwhelmed by that and the family that we have created now is just a beautiful thing so thank you BGT as well."
In another segment of the show, Tim disclosed the significant tattoo he and his fellow performers decided to get in honour of their audition song on Britain's Got Talent.

When Richard enquired about the tattoo, Tim displayed the words etched on his forearm, which read: "I get the feeling that this isn't just a me thing."

The tattoo alludes to the infamous scandal where sub-postmasters were misled into believing they were the sole individuals facing IT accounting issues.
Explaining the tattoo's significance, he remarked: "A few of us have got it now. It's a lyric from the first song we did in Blackpool. When we heard it for the first time, it really struck a chord with us because we were all told, you're the only person this is happening to, and to hear the song saying, 'I get the feeling it isn't just a me thing.'"
Britain's Got Talent: The Final airs Saturday at 7pm on ITV and ITVX.

Susanna Reid tells Richard Madeley 'I'm concerned we'll lose you'
Good Morning Britain presenter, Susanna Reid, told co-host, Richard Madeley, she was worried about him after he appeared in the studio wearing a wrist brace Susanna Reid expressed concern for her Good Morning Britain co-host, Richard Madeley, today, telling the 69-year-old she was worried she was going to 'lose him'. The former This Morning star sparked concern when he arrived in the studio wearing a wrist brace after revealing he'd suffered a nasty fall on holiday in France. Richard, who is one of the nation's most recognisable presenters, was also struggling to talk when the ITV show started as Susanna, 54, told the dad-of-two: "I'm a bit concerned we might lose you through the programme..." Pointing at his throat, croaky-voiced, Richard replied: "This thing? I think it'll get stronger throughout the programme. That's my prediction." Later in the show, Richard revealed he had been given honey and water to soothe his throat, and reassured viewers that he would be back to full strength by the next day. "If it's annoying you, I'm really sorry. Tomorrow it'll be better," he promised. However, his health sparked a flurry of concerned comments on X (formerly Twitter), with many questioning the decision to let Richard host despite his vocal struggles. One viewer asked: "Why on earth have you let Richard take the chair today when he can hardly talk?" Another said: "Richard Madeley sounds like Daddy Pig this morning," while a third commented: "Richard's ill, should have replaced him today." Richard, who has presented GMB since 2017, was also forced to explain his painful looking wrist, which was supported by a brace. Clocking his new accessory, Susanna said: 'Richard, you better explain – that looks sore." The veteran presenter, who is married to former This Morning co-host, Judy Finnigan, and who has just come back from a trip away to France, unfortunately didn't have the best time in Europe as he revealed he fell down a steep pavement while away on his trip. Explaining the unfortunate events to his co-host, Richard revealed he had a double fracture of the wrist, explaining: "I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France, actually, on Friday. 'The pavement was loose and it flipped up and it flipped me forward, and I thought, 'Am I gonna win or is gravity gonna win?' And gravity won, and I hit the ground hard. So yeah, I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes." It seems like the injury was painful for the star, who continued: 'I'm not discussing the pain threshold. We don't think about pain.' Changing the subject, Susanna continued: "Okay, we're just going to distract ourselves. It's good to have you back." "It's nice to be back," Richard replied, as Susanna smiled, warmly.

Teacher struck off due to OnlyFans pictures 'never thought she'd be caught'
A Glasgow teacher who has been banned from the profession after it was discovered she had been posting explicit pictures online has admitted she 'never thought she'd be caught'. Kirsty Buchan received numerous complaints from parents and resigned from her position at Bannerman High School in Baillieston in December 2022. On Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, it was confirmed that the General Teaching Council had taken action by striking her off the teaching register. The regulatory body found that Buchan had failed to conceal her identity and profession, and also concluded that her behaviour lacked integrity. The physics teacher, who claimed to have made £60,000 in one month on the site, admitted she 'knew the risks' but joined the site as her 'son and bills come first'. GMB via Supplied The General Teaching Council said Kirsty Buchan's behaviour lacked integrity'. 'We all need to take responsibility,' Kirsty said. 'Of course I knew the risks, I'm a mum at the end of the day – my son comes first, my bills come first. 'I spoke to my son before doing it. He's 14 now, going on 30, so I knew there was a risk involved. 'I used a different name, I've got my moniker Jessica Jackrabbit, I put a wig on and loads of make-up that didn't look like me. 'I didn't think I would be caught, I didn't think I would be famous.' Kirsty, who had taught at Bannerman High for six years, said the pupils never made rude comments or jokes to her face when her pictures were exposed. She added: 'I worked hard to get respect from them and build a positive relationship. 'It would be harder to build a good relationship with new pupils but the ones I already worked hard to build a relationship with, I've still got that bond with them to this day.' When she was asked by presenter Richard Madley what the reaction was throughout the school, she added: 'All support. I've had messages even this morning from all my old colleagues, and all the school kids still support me to this day.' The GTCS allege that between 2022 and 2023 she set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker 'Jessica Jackrabbitx' and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos online. It is said her bio featured inappropriate sexual language, featuring statements such as 'good teacher gone bad…really bad'. She is also accused of failing to ensure that her profile could not be accessed by any member of the public including those under 18 without them needing to log in or subscribe to OnlyFans. Buchan, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, is further said to have given a newspaper interview in December 2022 while still employed at the school about her decision to join the explicit site. A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: 'This teacher is no longer an employee of Glasgow City Council. 'The teacher was under investigation prior to resigning following the widespread distribution of wholly inappropriate and pornographic images. 'The council has a code of conduct that all employees should adhere to and a teacher who has actively pursued a second income on this type of website brings their school, the council and their profession into disrepute. 'We referred the details of our investigation to the General Teaching Council (GTC).'

Amanda Holden risks tripping over as she arrives at Heart FM studios wearing extremely wide black palazzo pants and heels
risked tripping over in extremely wide black palazzo pants as she made a glamorous entrance at Heart FM studios in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday. The presenter, 54, cut a chic figure in a black button-down halter top and pleated wide-leg trousers as she strutted down the street. She added inches to her frame with a pair of towering black heels and toted her essentials in a matching woven textured handbag. Amanda further accessorised her look with a stack of diamond bracelets, a thin waist belt, and a pair of trendy oversized shades. Her outing comes after she showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a pink bikini while filming a new campaign in Mallorca earlier this week. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The presenter, 54, cut a chic figure in a black button-down halter top and pleated wide-leg trousers as she strutted down the street The radio host shared the new racy clip on her Instagram page - informing fans she was on the sunny Spanish island for work purposes. In the stunning video, the BGT judge radiated confidence while strutting her stuff by a pool in the skimpy two-piece, adding strappy open-toe heels to complete the revealing look. Her fellow celeb pals raced to comment below the stunning clip, with Ruth Langsford sharing a slew of heart emojis and Vicky Pattison raving: 'AMANDA!!!!' Amanda was in Mallorca to film a new ad for UK brand Revive Collagen, founded by TOWIE star Samantha Faiers. Last week, the TV favourite questioned if she had 'forgotten her clothes' when she realised she looked completely naked on the breakfast show cameras. The Heart Breakfast presenter joined her co-star Jamie Theakston for their usual weekday spot and had been wearing a peach strapless dress which was not visible in the shot. Welcoming their listeners, Amanda said: 'Good morning Mr Theakston! It is six-thirty, and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here.' Jamie replied: 'Do you know what? You are wearing clothes, aren't you?' Amanda clarified: 'I just looked and went 'what? Have I forgot to put my clothes on?'' 'It does look like that,' Jamie laughed. However, it would come as no surprise if Amanda was naked as the star is no stranger to flashing the flesh in the studios. In April 2024, she stripped naked during the Heart Breakfast Show. The confident star put every inch of herself on display as she removed her clothes for a life drawing session, that saw artists, as well as her radio co-hosts Jamie and Ashley Roberts have a go at drawing her. As Amanda dropped her trousers on camera, Jamie explained: 'Slightly distracting... Amanda's in the corner of the studio without any clothes on - which is a first not for her of course - but the rest of us.' Ashley interjected: 'She looks amazing!' As Amanda was presented with the images of herself nude, she seemed delighted with the outcomes. Yet Jamie was quick to put an end to the bizarre segment as he called out 'Can you put a top on because it's slightly distracting?!'
