Britain’s Got Talent’s rarely seen child star Robbie Firmin looks unrecognisable 10 years on from starring in the show
BRITAIN’S Got Talent’s rarely seen child star Robbie Firmin looks unrecognisable 10 years on from starring in the show.
The singer shot to fame on the fifth series of the ITV show when he was just seven-years-old.
The youngster turned up on stage in pinstriped suit and matching hat all those years ago.
He wowed Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and Louis Walsh with his own rendition of Frank Sinatra’s My Way.
Robbie wanted to win the competition as a birthday present for his mum, but only got through to the second round.
He told the judges: “It’s my mum’s birthday soon and I want to give her the best present ever.”
Louis was amazed with his talents and said: “That’s fantastic. I’ve never heard anybody so young sing that.”
Michael added: “You toyed with the audience, they were up, they were down, they were swaying. You’re a star.”
