Shaheen 'confident' over 'Talent' return
Britain's Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi is feeling "confident" and "calm" ahead of tonight's semi-final performance, his mother has revealed.

The 12-year-old singer was a hit with the judges after performing Michael Jackson's 'Who's Loving You' at his audition earlier this year.

Jafargholi had originally attempted to impress the panel with a rendition of The Zutons' 'Valerie', but Simon Cowell quickly instructed him to pick another song.

Speaking about her son's semi-final plans, the star's mum Karen told The Sun: "He's confident about his [song] choice. If Simon doesn't like it there's nothing we can do about it."

She added: "It's not going to be another Michael Jackson song, there will be a lot of variety tonight. He's very calm, he takes everything in his stride. I just leave him to get on with it. It's all down to the night, everybody's got a good chance. He's done everybody proud."

The third Britain's Got Talent semi-final airs tonight at 8.30pm on ITV1.
