Today on ITV's Lorraine new Britain's Got Talent judge KSI, 31, tipped the act he thinks will scoop the crown

Speaking to host Andi Peters, he said: "Stacey (Leadbeatter) honestly, I hope she wins.

"Like, I love Stacey. And her story's phenomenal.

"Because, you know, working at a chicken shop and then being able to come through in front of an audience like that and sing her heart out.

"I was just like mind blown. I was like, she needs to win this."

Stacey Leadbeatter wowed the judges and audience with her audition, singing Leona Lewis' version of Snow Patrol's Run. 

She had only performed once in public before her BGT appearance and had to retrain her voice due to a speech impediment.

She said: "It is extremely hard, I have a video of me singing from four or five years ago and you couldn't actually understand properly what I was singing due to the severity of speech impediments. 

"So during lockdown I used to sit through like adult speech therapy sessions on YouTube and then I'd introduced it into my singing.

"If I don't do certain exercises for say a couple of weeks at a time, I will start to revert back to how I was."

YouTube personality KSI decided to send Stacey straight through to the semi-finals, as the audience chanted "press the buzzer".

For the semi-final, Stacey wowed with a stirring rendition of Demi Lovato's song Anyone.

It was enough to win over viewers at home and she was put through to the final after winning the public vote.

HEALTH BATTLE

Stacey made it through to the final, despite being unwell at the time of her last BGT performance,

In the runup to her semi-final showdown, the singer revealed she had strep throat - which is an infection at the back of the throat and tonsils.

Speaking at the time, Stacey told The Mirror: "My voice is only just coming back.

"I am still actually on antibiotics. I haven't been able to sing properly.

"I have been a bit concerned about this weekend but, hopefully, I'll be able to do it."

Luckily for Stacey she pulled through and won a place in the final.

Fans will have tune in tomorrow from 7pm on ITV and ITVX to see how she gets on.
