Janey Cutler the 81 year old up and coming star of Britain’s Got Talent nearly did not audition for the show – fearing she was too old.

Janey recived a standing ovation in her audition in Scotland from the crowed and judges.

Cutler’s friend who is musical director Terry Moore has explained it took some convincing to get Janey to appear in front of Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden.

“When I suggested that she enter Britain’s Got Talent but Janey wasn’t sure at first. She said, ‘What, at my age?’
“But she entered online and by all accounts the judges loved her. She sounds like Shirley Bassey in her heyday, only better.”
