Two more through to 'Talent' final
A 13-year-old choirboy has made it through to the final of Britain's Got Talent.

Andrew Johnston, who admitted he was bullied at school for his love of opera, moved judge Amanda Holden to tears with his rendition of Eric Clapton's 'Tears In Heaven'.

After the performance, she commented: "You have a gift from God in your voice. You did make me tear up, I managed to hold it together. And you’ve shown everyone what you can do."

Piers Morgan confessed that he wanted Johnston to go on and win the competition: "I don't think we have seen the best of you. You are still a bit under-confident and I don't know why."

Simon Cowell described the 13-year-old as "a very very talented young man".

Charlie Dixon and Krista Hyatt, both 8, also secured a place in the final after a public vote for their performance as dancing duo The Cheeky Monkeys.

Missing out on a place in the final were contortionist Iona, The Mandy Ellen Dancers and street dance troupe Flava.

The winners will take home £100,000 in prize money and a slot at this year's Royal Variety Performance.
