Britain’s Got Talent’s Simon Cowell pranked a group of school boys from Cardiff before revealing a huge surprise. The judge surprised the choir of Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, when they believed they were performing at the unveiling of a statue of someone influential in music. What they didn’t know is that it wasn’t a real statue at all, in fact it was the reality star himself.

In a sneak peak of the episode of Britain’s Got Talent which will air tonight, (Saturday, April 11) at 6.45pm, audiences can see the judge tricking the 70-strong choir before inviting them to audition for the show.
In on the surprise was their tutor, Lloyd Macey, who himself appeared on season 14 of X Factor back in 2017. He was part of the boys category and was mentored by Louis Walsh before being eliminated in the semi final.

Lloyd, who is the choir’s conductor, nominated them to audition for the talent competition. He said: “This is so exciting.
“I didn’t really have that much in school. It wasn’t cool to sing in the choir, and I just think you can get as many boys to enjoy singing and bring back that tradition in Wales as well.
“They absolutely love Britain’s Got Talent and I would just love them to feel what I felt on X Factor and it will just be totally amazing. It’s super exciting.” For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter

Simon then surprised the boys, which lead them to all jump around in excitement. One of the students said: “You’re much better than a statue.”
Simon later added: “Your choirmaster has tricked you because you will be performing on Britain’s Got Talent later.
“It’s gonna be good.”
A source told The Sun: “It was such a touching moment. You could see the recognition hit Simon instantly when he reunited with Lloyd. There’s a lot of history there – Lloyd was the lad who brought his Nan in to feed Simon fish finger sandwiches!
“Seeing Lloyd go from a nervous contestant to a confident mentor leading these kids was incredibly nostalgic.
Sutton Stracke doesn’t think Dorit Kemsley should return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for its upcoming 16th season.
As she also reflected on her spat with Dorit, 49, at Rachel Zoe‘s house over her efforts to have her sit down and reconcile with Kyle Richards, 57, Sutton appeared on Jeff Lewis‘ radio, where she, without naming names, responded to a question about who she felt should not be a part of the show moving forward.
“Well, I’m just not gonna name names. I’m not gonna do that,” Sutton, 54, first said on the April 2 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.
Then, signaling Dorit’s ongoing lateness, Sutton described her castmate as “challenging.”
“I find one personality in particular challenging, not because she’s late all the time. Just because … It’s just difficult for me. That’s just a personality thing for me,” she explained.
Although Jeff, 56, said he felt Dorit was “incredibly unlikeable” this season, his co-host praised her bilingual skills, and Sutton agreed, offering additional compliments.
“That girl can speak some Italian. She’s beautiful, and I think she’s very smart, and I love when she speaks Italian,” she concluded.
Meanwhile, on the April 9 episode of the RHOBH: After Show, Sutton said that when it came to her spat with Dorit on Thursday’s episode, she had good intentions.
“I was really trying to not be confrontational, but come from a very sincere, calm place … I was really making an effort … I wanted a friendship with Dorit, truly. So, I felt like if I was honest with my feelings in that moment, that it would help,” she explained. “[But] Dorit did not want to leave her conversation with this woman to speak to me, and she was angry about it. She didn’t want to deal with me, which was showing me exactly that she doesn’t want to have a real friendship with me.”
“Why would you be that angry?” she asked. “She was not having it … [And] it was upsetting for me, and that’s okay.”
After Dorit was seen shutting Sutton down, which Kyle said she “would not have [done] to [Bozoma ‘Boz’ Saint John],” Dorit revealed where she was coming from.
“She came on the dance floor. I was like, having fun. And Sutton comes over. I was like, ‘Oh my God, what the f*ck?’” she recalled. “You know what she told me she was mad at? That I turned my body and was directing it to Rachel. It was so f*cking ridiculous, and she wanted an apology. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m not even going to challenge [her].’ I was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’”
“The problem is, I know what she’s doing. I know it. So, it’s like, really? I’m supposed to play along?” Dorit added. “[She was] trying to grasp at straws.”
