Rapping pensioner auditions for 'Talent'
Simon Cowell was horrified when a rapping pensioner auditioned for Britain's Got Talent.

Norma Clarke, 70, arrived at the Birmingham auditions wearing combat trousers, gold trainers and plenty of 'bling' in an attempt to impress Cowell and his fellow judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden.

"The idea of doing this is to bridge the gap between young and the old," Norma revealed. "Maybe I could be one of the oldest rappers in the world."

After Norma performed her own composition Old And Past It, Holden expressed surprise that she could remember the words.

"I should remember them, sweetheart - I wrote them," she replied.

"I think there are certain things that ladies of your age shouldn't be doing," Simon complained. "I think the purpose of this show is to find an act to perform in front of the Royal Family and I think they'd be quite upset."

Tune in to Britain's Got Talent at 8.30pm tonight on ITV1 to see if Norma made it through to the next round.
