He received a standing ovation from all four judges.

After his performance on the ITV show, Simon Cowell said: “I think it was a good choice of song, I always like it when someone puts a twist on someone else’s song.”

Amanda Holden told him: “It was authentic and real and I know how much it means to you and for all of those reasons it made for a beautiful version.”

Alesha Dixon commented: “You do have the most beautiful tone and i love that raspiness, I think you’re a great guy, I love your personality and I hope something comes from this.”

Bruno Tonioli shared: “You really sing with your heart and the second time when you let it go a little bit and didn’t try too hard, it became even more real.”

Cammy described what it was like to receive a standing ovation from the four Britain’s Got Talent judges.

He said: “It felt very surreal receiving a standing ovation from the judges. After working so hard for so long chasing my dream, it was amazing to have that recognised and have approval from the judges. It was a very overwhelming and emotional moment and one that I will never forget.

“To have people react in such a positive way to you performing just gives you that fire back to keep going and push it even further the next time – there’s nothing better than watching people enjoy what you do.”

On social media he said: “Just before I went on stage at my audition it hit me that this opportunity could actually make or break that dream. I honestly crumbled with nerves. This has never happened to me before but it’s because I care. I honestly feel so blessed with all the lovely comments and I can’t wait for the weeks ahead. I’m so ready.”
