Amy was given a standing ovation by judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli during last night’s programme.
Simon told her: ‘That just doesn’t happen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so connected to an audience in all my years of doing this. Whatever happens next is going to be amazing. Really, you deserve this.’
While Amanda added: ‘The moment you started singing I was covered in goosebumps. I was thinking your baby is probably having a lovely little sleep in there and the she’s gone “oh, here we go!”. You are a star.’
