Britain's Got Talent hopeful Faryl Smith has admitted that she is keeping her expectations low - despite receiving massive praise from the show's judges.

The 12-year-old budding opera star wowed Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan with her rendition of 'Ave Maria' in last Saturday's show. The trio will decide whether to put her through to the semi-finals in next weekend's episode.

"Everyone's been asking who I think my competition is but I haven't really thought about that," Faryl told The Mirror. "I've just been enjoying watching the show and making it a good experience.

"There's lots and lots of talent and it's going to be very difficult for the judges. If it was a load of singers like X Factor, they're obviously good or bad. But with so much variety, it's really hard to tell. I haven't been talking about winning - I don't want to jinx things."

Faryl has reportedly been receiving secret coaching, organised by Cowell, since she auditioned for the competition.
