'Talent' reject blames husband for failure

Britain's Got Talent sparked marital strife after a 74-year-old auditionee blamed her husband for her failure to impress the judges.

Dinner lady Brenda Isaacs from Hulton attended auditions in Blackpool, hoping that her years of experience of singing in pubs and clubs would serve her well.

After telling Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden that she could be the next Britney Spears, Brenda announced that she was going to sing 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' with a little help from her husband Roy, who had provided a backing track on CD.

However, the audition got off to a bad start when the wrong track started to play, leaving show hosts Ant & Dec with the task of finding the right one and rescuing Brenda's chances.

Though Ant & Dec eventually fixed the CD problem, Simon, Piers and Amanda were horrified by Brenda's vocals and quickly used their buzzers to end her audition. Unfortunately for them, a member of the audience then shouted for the presenters to try another track, which gave Brenda a second chance to impress the trio with a rendition of 'Unchained Melody'.

Angered over the critical comments she then received, Brenda announced that the problem lay with her "supposed better half" rather than her own voice and left the theatre on the warpath.

Britain's Got Talent airs at 8.05pm tonight on ITV1.
